In data 16 Jun 2004, verso le 7:53, Otto si trovò a scrivere su Malta 
Impressions:

> Over half of the presentations were young first-time speakers from the
> upcoming generation, i.e. graduate or Ph.D. students and there were
> also two Pynchon "enthusiasts" from outside the protected walls & halls
> of the "academica:" yours truly, the veteran Pynchon astrologer and Zak
> Smith, the young artist of GR who had all 760 illustrations on a CD-Rom
> and in street-wise fashion definitely gave the most Pynchonesque
> presentation, even keeping the thirty minute time limit! 

Though capturing the spirit of the event I'm sorry to say that the 
Official Pynchonite Astrologist (and also football connoisseur) was 
not accurate about this: neither me nor Luca Briasco are members of 
the academia, so there were at least four participants outside those 
walls and halls... he also failed to mention that Zak Smith is not 
only an illustrator but is also illustrated.
