Anyone else have any regrets? I've got a few....
1. Leaving the pre-pre-party for just a few minutes to go outside and scope out the lot where a concerned llorenth had parked his car ('safe for overnight?') In the meantime, Glenn was doing "Margaritaville" and Urban was doing "Holy Diver" and "Aces High." Hence, no video of those.
2. Making the left turn and heading up to the Residence instead of wandering straight to the Granada on Saturday night, thus missing the parties that were a lot of fun last year, even for a non-drinker.
In my defense, I had hungry people around me, there was no place to walk to for food this year, and Taco Cabana (open 24 hours, and 4 minutes away at that late hour) beckoned.
2a. (related to #2) Not hanging out as much with Andrew/Dargor this year. We thought of you when we were heading to Taco Cabana since you liked it a lot last year.
3. Not getting serious about buying the nametags and Sharpies for Forum users until, basically, Friday afternoon. Maybe next year...if folks are actually interested in wearing 'em. There were quite a few who weren't.
4. Missing nearly all of Vision Divine's set, due to Mercenary's autographing. What I saw looked and sounded great. Ditto for Thunderstone.
5. Missing part of CIIC's set at the pre-party, due to the weird schedule-times. It sounded really splendid, though, great mix!
6. Missing the "balls of steel" award presentation...when was that done, anyway?
7. Missing the crew-call and sponsors' acknowledgement (if any). I'm guessing the crew-call and the award presentation might have been at the same time....
8. Never having the time to really peruse Laser's Edge's offerings...seemed like it was always crowded around there, and I never had a chance to say hi to Ken G. As it was, this was the lightest year ever for me and vendor purchases.
9. Not meeting a lot of folks who it'd have been cool to meet, dangit!

Oh well, maybe next year.
