Notes:

• Wow. For the first day of a brand new convention, there was a lot of energy, lots and lots of art, and things just went really smoothly. Well done!
• It is pretty hard to fit even two years worth of local sf/f onto one table.
• Had a good time on the “Pirates in Literature” panel with John Claude Bemis and Danny Birt, moderated by Lee Martindale –rambled all over from Treasure Island to Ice Pirates, back to Peter Pan, “Pinkbeard”, the Dread Pirate Roberts, and On Stranger Tides.
• When someone asks if you play poker, and you answer “not very well”, they will invite you to play poker immediately.
