Very nice and informative report.

So there was a special shirt for Sponsors? Cools, if what you say about them being mailed out to those that didn't receive one at the convention then I have one extra thing from the con to look forward to. :)

Also, I know this is out of place in this feeback on your con report, but who was in charge of the Art Show's mail-in participants? Kitsumi (Mary J. Lai) hasn't heard back from anyone so that she may receive her artwork back.

Cheers and I look forward to next year!

Yah I'm willing to bet those numbers would have been more evenly distributed if the printers had stayed up the entire weekend....that being said considering how hard they were hammered...they did a pretty good job.

Here's a graph of every one of my gas purchases since I got my car. (red line = Hurricane Katrina)

Now that I think about it, the relatively low turnout numbers for the Northeast aren't all that surprising. FurFright, which meets just a month before MFF, moved to a new, larger hotel this year and saw a 39% jump in attendance, from 515 to 717. I wonder if the NEFur folks are burning up all their cash at FF and then are not having enough left to afford airfare, hotel and convention for MFF. I know that to be true with at least one of my friends.

Unfortunately, I didn't really break those out initially back in 2002 when I first started analyzing demographics back in 2002. In order to get useful data at this point I'd have to wade back through five years of databases and, well, I don't have that kind of time! :-)

Thanks again for your help!
