update
well, that's what this place is for, after all... updating :)
I feel better. I just needed my sanity realigned. I'm still likely to face two more naysayers before the event, but that leaves much of the week to deal with very supportive people, and enjoy the anticipation of lots and lots of people descending on the site on Saturday, and the crazy nerves of running a tight event.
The event volunteers are a wonderful group of people I am honored to work with.
The printouts are printed.
The prizes are nearly done (finishing the last two tonight!)
The site invoice is in (thank goodness!) and the cheque is cut.
and just a couple things left on the shopping list.
Whew.
Now I know why I run events for OTHER people's birthdays - this doesn't feel like a birthday week, between intense deadlines at work and KQR on the very near horizon. If you want an event run for your birthday, just let me know. If your birthday is on or near Feb 2, you're out of luck; we can take each other out for a drink instead.
