Just wanted to add that there were some folks who were sorely missed this year. I knew
shawan_7 wouldn't be able to attend, but it was a sad surprise to find that
hieran couldn't make it. She was going to room with Klio, so I would have had the pleasure of spending lots of time with her! Somehow we also missed
elegant_bonfire this year; it would have been great to see her! (I was hoping she'd bring some real-live rats this year, too!) I missed seeing Kathy Agel as well, who hasn't come for a couple of years now.
But I was grateful to get to see and spend time with the many wonderful folks who were able to come.
