this past weekend was supercon, in austin minnesota. we were in a new hotel, in a new city this year. the hotel was the americinn of austin, and it was clean and pleasant and all the things you hope for in a hotel. we had an almost unblemished hotel experience. (one front desk person wasn't used to large groups. this is significantly better than average.)

the hottub was enormous, and i spent a bit of saturday evening in it. there was much gaming in the lobby and in the programming room. i wandered between the lobby and the consuite, and talked to people, rubbed a few shoulders, crochetted like a madwoman... my convention usual. charles and ish had voted, and i was designated drunk for the convention out of the three of us. woo!

it was little m.'s first convention. he thinks conventions have too many people. way too many. dear god, the people. but i'm certain in a few years he'll like them better. (i mean, being past his first birthday will probably help...)
