In the event that you were trapped under a building for the past two weeks, the annual Society of Vertebrate Paleontology meetings have come and gone. Not only do these meetings provide a nice outlet for ongoing research, they also provided an opportunity for me and Dave to 1) recruit more participants for the Paleo Paper Challenge; and 2) nag everyone to get to work on their papers, already! With the SVP recruits and new volunteers from the comment threads of this blog, the Paleo Paper Challenge is rounding out nicely. Oh yeah, and I finally got to meet Dave Hone in person.

That's a great list! Well done everyone. I'm pretty sure Mike Habib volunteered as well - I'll nag him to find out.
Hmm. . .I vaguely remember this, also.
Sent you an email, Andy.
perhaps we should mention the PPC in the acknowledgments? "Thanks to the PPC for its gentle encouragement", or you guys could send each of us a check for like 1$ (well 2.50$ might get a beer), PPC could be thanked for a funding initiative. ;)
Oh wow, I'm looking forward to the Spinosauridae review!
Oooh, I like the idea of acknowledging PPC. But instead of us sending you money, perhaps you can send me and Dave money as a thank you for assisting your careers! I'll still buy you a beer next time I see you though, Casey.
