Wow...I think I've been doing this SF and con thing too long.  I'm not
*sure* I've met Mike Nelson (though I probably have), but I know all the
others, and I think they'd recognize me on sight too.

What, are we running QA for Worldcons now?

Denver is a nice place...what they call "heavy traffic" we call "no
delays", and you can get there from anywhere, since one of the largest
airports in North America is located there and is a major hub for a lot of
airlines.  In fact, it's hard to get much of anyplace the other side of the
Mississippi *without* stopping in Denver.  They've even fully automated the
luggage-losing systems there, so human unreliability won't accidentally
send your bags to the same place you are going!
