Would that be the "Lindsay Frederick Braun Huge-A** Ship" Award or the "Jeez
Adrian, quit winning all the other categories and give someone else a
chance!" Award? Knowing that it would affect me, I don't know how to
answer, but you're right, it might be a way to go. Are people irked at all
that Lindsay and I always seem to come away with prizes?

There was a white-board by the front desk.

Yeah, that'll give the organizers a chance to flex their Microsoft Excel
muscles :)
Anyway, wonderful event, wonderful time, and I agree with everyone who's
said good things about the organizers, the attendees, the sponsors, the
people, and whoever made sure the vending machine stayed stocked with food
and snacks this year. Thanks everybody!
Adrian
