Talking with my sister, she had a lovely time working with y'all on the Art Gallery and generally grooving at Anthro, and is really looking forward to next year. Thanks for taking such good care of her in P'burgh! :)

does that mean this was your 10th anthrocon? or have you missed any between now and 1998?

sounds like the madness. i'm impressed that your organizational fu was able to keep it rolling smoothly!

Yeah, getting stuff late while stuffing bags made it interesting though :P. We eventually reverted to an assembly line process and had one group putting in the missing stuff while another group got all the stuff together and dumped it into bags. I have no idea how many we stuffed, but the first thing we ran out of were surveys. Things got done in three or four hours :), so all was good.

I think I've heard of that Primanti Bros place. I'm kinda sorry I work at cons all the time and miss out on the 'local flavor', but it's not something I'm actually thinking about while I'm there. On the subject, I think I bumped into "that guy from the phonebook" on the way out on Monday. Wanted to stop and say hi but I'm pretty sure he was busy.

If I remember right, over 2800 furs were there before opening ceramonies :p. You could tell on Wednesday it was going to be a big number.
