Convergence thoughts - short version
Other than a 24 hour period spent running to the hospital to see mom-in-law and being at home, Convergence was pretty great.
The main thing I was thinking this morning, on my way into work and back to the real world, was regret that I didn't get to spend more time with you. You, you and you. All of you. There wasn't a single person there that I got enough time with. (Except the freaky drunk who apparently couldn't get a roommate to answer the phone and let him into his room. Him I wouldn't have minded missing at all.) Some of them, like Shaun and Greg, I barely saw at all. Sad me. Some I got to actually hang out with. That was cool, but I wish there had been more of it.
I usually like smaller gatherings because of this. In a smaller gathering, you don't generally miss as much. At Convergence, you miss almost everything. Sad! It's kind of like going to the biggest buffet in the world, and only being able to eat one plate of food. It might be truly awesome food, but you kind of wonder what other things you missed. That's okay though. I'll go back again next year and get my fill once again.
I hope your plate was as full of awesome as mine was.
