Also most of the block of rooms have been sold out.
I've been to a lot of conventions, but I will add this one to my top three as one of the best!
Everything was run smoothly, efficiently, no complaints from anyone, and it was a grand time!
The party Friday night in the Observation Bar was awesome and lots of fun and the dinner on Saturday night was great and that chocolate mousse cake was to die for....I got two pieces, because Boats can't have chocolate.
Too tired and hurting to try and stick around to hear Abney Park play, but I understand it was a wild time.
Will I do it again? YOU BET I WILL!
I can't say enough thank you's to Mitch Toles for a great convention!!!
