Day 1

I got there just in time for Ken Johnston's presentation.  We had a bit of an audio/video problem, but luckily the guy that made the video for our website was there and totally got everything running again!

I had heard Ken on c2c before, but his presentation was really great and he is also a super nice man.  I don't particularly like the way I look in that photo of Ken and me, but I will have to live with it.  Something in the casino was really irritating my allergies which makes me look far more tired than I actually was.

Unfortunately, since I am backstage to help the speakers I don't get to hear the presentations really well.  Norio Hayakawa, Mark Patterson and Greg Bishop also spoke last night.

Bill Murphy (from SyFy's Fact or Faked) is emceeing the entire weekend.  He and his wife Anita are wonderful!

After it was over I hung out a while longer (like 2 hours) chatting with Greg, Sigrid and Rich.  Rich twisted my arm and made me stay for 2 drinks. :-D  I was quite sober enough to drive home, so don't worry.  Far more tired than buzzed.

I briefly met Meg Blackburn Losey (who is speaking this evening) and hope to get to chat more with her later.  Spoke with Gordon James Gianninoto who seemed interesting.  I will not be there for his 9:30 am presentation - far too early for me, but he gave me his card and we will stay in touch.  Also, met and had dinner with a few facebook friends that live in the state, but I had never met in person.  One of them was Janet Sailor who also puts on a conference each year, normally in Angel Fire, but this year it will be in Taos.

Didn't take a lot of photos yesterday, maybe today.  So tired!  More from excitement than actual work.  There was no actual work, it was too fun to call that.
