I got back from Mises University 2005 early last night and, as reported, ran into the Dark Lord Himself along the return trip. I had a wonderful time and I highly recommend the experience to anyone. I met and conversed with a number of bright and interesting people, including Randall McElroy at Catallarchy and the Mises Institute faculty such as the brainy and zany Roderick Long and fellow Louisianian Walter Block. George Reisman and his wife Edith Packer Reisman were there as well. I regret that I was too forgetful and negligent to get photos with any of them, aside from the big group photo of all the participants. I also learned a great deal at the seminar. And, I am proud to say, I took the optional Mündliche Prüfung (oral examination) and passed. Here’s a list of all those who did the same.
