HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to see some/all of After Dark in Denver this year, to our presenters, and to everyone who dropped some funds into the hat [cardboard box with “HAT” written on it]! We had such a great time and hope you did as well!

I’m a Colorado native, and I’m here to drop a fun fact on all you lovely people heading to AMS/SMT in Denver this November (particularly any South Park fans): The (newly renovated) Casa Bonita restaurant is less than 5 miles from the conference hotel. You’re so welcome.

[AMS After Dark @amsafterdark]

@michaelhbuchler Thank you for your service, Michael 🙏

The SMT (then, by extension, AMS) admin folks likely only took us seriously thanks to your presidential forward of our email vouching for the sincere popularity of our buffoonery…which totally didn’t really happen unless you say it did.

[AMS After Dark @amsafterdark]

Mark your calendars, friends—AMS/SMT After Dark will be Thur, November 9 @ 8:30pm in the conference hotel this year! 🎉 The After Dark CFP will circulate in October/November here, on https://t.co/jtUhNBkdxi, and via the AMS/SMT announce email lists 🎭
