Reply-To: WSFA members <WSFAlist at WSFA.org> Yay! I actually have no idea how good the con was, since I only saw the dealer's room and the con suite. And at the end of the day I was too exhausted to do more than go home and go to bed (Saturday night's migraine didn't help either.). The con suite was *gorgeous*! Lee spent her own money on the decorations, and I am sincerely tempted to hand her cash at the next meeting where we coincide to go forth and spend some more. If *I* were going to add to the decorations, I would get more trees, and some sort of lights like the ones we had in the Discave years ago, and couches for people to get comfortable on. Then at a certain hour of the evening, I'd turn off the overheads and let the stars shine on our beautiful tropical island. The puzzles on the tables were a winner too. Toys for fen is just smart.
