I attended the 1980 AWP Conference in San Antonio, Texas. It was a small crowd and everyone was accessible. The early days simply felt literary. Now, the conference feels like a spectacle with no focus. I'm not sure writers need this kind of exposure unless it sells books. I did witness Richard Ford dancing and Richard Hugo told me he was being mistreated at Montana. The good old days.

Wow, yeah I'm sure the conference has changed a lot over the decades.
