Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to thank everyone for attending MarsCon. Hope you had a good time despite our little screw-up in the schedule by putting Jim in such small rooms at the beginning. Never knew he would be that popular.

Please let me know what you liked about our con and what you didn't like. We are always trying to improve.

Butch (who was in the beginning of every video I shot because you were ALWAYS doing something to Make It Happen!), I had a great time. You guys adapted to needs swiftly and were very congenial, accommodating hosts.

As with Starbeam, my only divergence from praise was regarding the heat. It would have been nice to have a little better air circulation in there. Then again, it was unusually warm in comparison to the weather before and after the con, so the entire hotel was having to deal with that, so there probably wasn't anything that could be done anyway.

Jim's popularity does seem to leave con organizers looking midly concussed, doesn't it? :D

Have Jim & Shannon back next year!!!!  ;D :o ::)

Seriously, it was absolutely wonderful...a small friendly well run Con with awesome guests.  Your rapid re-accommodation of Jim's venues was wonderful and greatly appreciated.  Food was great (as you predicted, could do most/all eating from Con Suite), got to meet my JB Forum buddies (thanks for making an appearance here as well to answer our questions and give advice). 

Super job and thanks for keeping costs down and making it such a wonderful time!

I have a story about why I don't drank Tequila anymore... but it's not for PG rated threads.
Okay, I flipped the breaker, pulled the fuses, and blew up the transformer.

Why are my lights still on?
