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.
