It was an amazing weekend. Those of you who came made it what it was.

It was a great experience hosting with Jenbel and Wingnut. I sat back and watched in awe as they figured out all the difficult bits. And wasn't Wingnut a dynamite MC on Saturday night?! I wish we had THAT speech on video!!

We had an extraordinary group of companies and individuals who helped.

Randy Petersen - underwrote the boat, which took enormous pressure off of us; it meant we didn't have to jam into the smallest boat we could find in an attempt to save costs, and we were able to keep it thru the fireworks display. He also contributed FT tags for each attendee.

Randy contributed the MaxJet tickets, won by NickW on his 30th birthday. How appropriate is that!

Starwood and Starwood Lurker -

SPG50s for each attendee

Prospero - a popular winner, as he made our wonderful badges. Our names were set in sufficiently large font, I could actually READ them a table away!
