Post con blues

[kitanzi]

Gafilk 10 ended yesterday afternoon, and by now everyone but a few stragglers (including much of the con com) has gone home to shoehorn themselves back into their daily lives with a few wistful looks back at the con. That's how it always seems to go, and the wistful looks at least mean that people had fun here. I'm waiting for my roommates to wake up so I can get started in packing, but I'm not really going to do a con report. I am just going to say that it's a rare and wonderful con where the concom has as much fun as the attendees, and thank you to SO MANY PEOPLE for coming here and having fun with us and making that true. This was our first year in the new hotel, and as far as I know the complaints were very few and mostly very minor, the biggest being that they don't seem to have quite enough hot water for everyone at the peak demand. (They are still finishing renovations, so it may be that simple but we will mention it at checkout.) The hotel beds and I didn't quite agree with eachother but that's normal for me - I sometimes think that it's just as well, since it gives me at least one thing to be glad for in going home!

It was a whole lot of fun, folks, from the concerts to the auction (complete with hot and cold running Bards) to the puns to the strangely mobile dance floor at the banquet. Let's do it again next year, shall we?

Glad you had a good time! Missed being there ...
So, what's the details for next year, who's gonna be the guests et al? :)

...which was the cold one?

I was going to say my worst complaint was that we started with one fewer towel than we had people, which was quickly corrected, but I have one much, much more serious complaint: The dance floor was too small.

There, I've said it. *swoon*

*grin*

Excellent con. Great job to everyone involved! I was going to tell a friend about it and found nothing much to say...then realized that was because it was so uniformly good that very little stuck out, either very good *or* mildly bad. Woot!

I was going to say that I was under the impression that both of the bards were hot, but...

That's kinda what I thought, really...

Fair enough, but it kills the joke, poor as it is. :)

I forgot to take the extra copies of the songbook with me to mail off to contributors. Were there any left over? If so, who has them right now (if you know.)


It was wonderful seeing you and hugging you even if I didn't get to do it much. Whew! I was tired. I'm doing better now though, because a daily routine helps. Today was the first day of classes where I teach.

Love,
Mary

It was great to see you two, too! There weren't any leftover copies, apparently, but how many do we need? I expect they can be made.

Excavating the stuff we brought home, we found two extra books and the master. How many do we need?

We're safely home, and thanks for the wonderful con! Sorry that we didn't poke our heads into Waffle House to give proper hugs and such for leaving, but we needed to get to the airport to catch our plane. We'll be sending money for the next con soon.

Are you guys going to FKO?

[kitanzi.livejournal.com]

We're not planning on it, no. Sorry - it's a money and time thing. Have extra fun for us, ok?

The con rocked on toast. I can't wait for next year.

*hugs*
