Six-packs of Bud Light Cost Less Than Ten Dollars

Sorry about the less-than-regular blogging schedule lateley. I blame family obligations, traveling, and jacked-up midtown wifi rates. Whatever.

Anyways, anon 12:38 says it well:

$10 Bud Light at the second night's smoker. Ten mother fucking dollars for a bottle of bud fucking light?! $12 for a glass of wine?! $6 for a bottle of water or a glass of soda?!

Dear APA - did you AGREE to those prices? Were they prearranged? If so - fuck you. We're poor and not getting any richer and obligated to attend the smoker and then have to make the choice of spending $10 on one bottle of piss poor beer or going without.

I mean, it's cool that the beers at the first smoker are free, and I get that a lot of people want the conference to be in Midtown New York. But come on. We're un- or underemployed philosophers forced to spend our own money to fly to New York two days after Christmas for job interviews. The APA should be doing everything it possibly can to make it affordable.

Next time, lets have the conference at the Plaza. Nicer views.
