Boring conference actually wasn't, really - Boing Boing

Boring conference actually wasn't, really - Boing Boing: "Last month, in London, 200 people turned out for Boring 2010, the first conference devoted to under-stimulation. The Wall Street Journal has a story about the conference—which included readings of paint color catalogs and lectures with titles like 'The Intangible Beauty of Car Park Roofs'. The interesting thing, though, is that this conference really didn't seem to be about boredom at all. Instead, the topics leaned more towards 'Things that are stereotypically considered boring, but which some people are very interested in.'"
