Does "singular and mysterious" mean "awkward and confusing"?

Anyway, I'm sorry to hear you can't make it, Telume; it would have been nice to meet you in person. I wonder what it will be like to meet Heald and Becki (I take it from their posts that they're attending, right?)

I've already booked my flights. I'll be arriving on Saturday morning. I'd go earlier if I could, but I have to work on Thursday evening.
