I'm sorry I missed you guys---I don't remember seeing you, even in passing.

we were sitting in the.....wait for it......front row center of the auction. contrarian was sitting right next to us and the burntwire brothers were right behind us. just as the auction was about to begin we noticed you behind where tim and frank were, but we thought it might be a little disruptive to yell, hey allan!

I am really bummed I missed it this year. It really needs to be must go convention. With almost 400 hundred attendees this year, I think they may hit 500+ next year.


And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

They're in fact a little worried about outgrowing the hotel....

With 400 I figured that would be a concern. I thought it was about perfect last year and at around 200+. I have to believe 400 made things a little tighter, but still not crowded. Go to 500 and I have to wonder.

They utilized more rooms this year, which made it feel as spacious as previous years IMHO, though more people in the future will tighten things up, as I don't think there's much more room to expand. I think 500 - 600 is still easily manageable, though.
