I really wanted to go the swap, but I'm working today (ergg). Looking forward to a full report.
Ding ding ding ding ding ding!!!!
Good time, good folks, well run, fun and -for me at least- reasonably profitable. Thank you to all concerned! Glad i got to meet some of my fellow CLinkers in person.
Next year? Let's go!
Thanks for being there, Ron!
The majority of vendors seemed pleased with the bank they'd made.
My biggest satisfaction of the day was with how well-received the presentations were.
The dilemna now is how to grow the event without sacrificing the great ambiance we had at Jak's. Someone had jokingly suggested growing upwards by building lofts and having a second level :-)

Three cheers for Howard! It turned out well, and attendance was amazing. Being able to walk right across the hall for a beer and a bite was excellent. Thanks for putting together a great event!

I ended up being more of the mouthpiece for the event but it wouldn't have happened without the help of many others-- it literally wouldn't have happened at all without Kevin Monahan's help with the locale and Lee Diamond's partnership on the planning and structure and publicity; Ethan Spotts took care of major logistical pieces, and Mario stepped in late in the game to run with the presentation piece and free me up for other last minute things. I'm told Willow and Pierogi John helped with postering and flyering but I don't know details. Willow additionally added a lot to the event by showing up with all sorts of printed materials and free balaclavas and baked goods.
Martin helped with some outreach to potential vendors and tracking down and transporting a few payments and items; the CCC helped out with their projector and Alex W with the screen, and his sound system for sound for the presentations. Kathy S. canceled her plans to get the check-in table up and running in the morning (and then returned later for her presentation piece) and also contributed needed items like the cash box, starter change, office items.
Of course the folks who prepared excellent presentations should be credited,
and the close to 20 people committed to various volunteer roles for the day of, and I'm afraid to name names out of fear of forgetting someone . . . and then there were the presenters who also served as volunteers when not presenting, and the folks I grabbed last minute to help with the auction.
Who did I forget?
