Are you all down for a post-con meeting this Sunday at noon PST, same Bat Time, same Bat Channel? We should celebrate the successes of the weekend, talk about what we can do better, and discuss what we needed and found we didn't need, etc. Let us know if this works for you and if we can count you in, or if you'd prefer a different day. Whenever we do it, I will take entertaining notes. Someone should take good ones. ;)<div><br clear="none"></div><div>Excellent job taking a physical con online, everybody.
