Let's have a little AAR, or After Action Review. For those who were present in any form, digital, physical, spiritual - leave comments with your Darts and Laurels.
If you have Darts with specific names on them - email them, please. Don't leave them in the comments. That would annoy me. Remember - you're writing for Google, too.
Snarks are allowed, of course. Just don't be mean. The object is to tweak next year's iteration.
Warning - if you write books, you'll probably find yourself on the short list for next year's planning committee. That's the voice of experience talking.
I'll open it up (this is my own note page, too).
1. Yay us!
2. Boo! Audio-visual guys at the very end.
3. Having the chat window available at the podium for the moderator was an *excellent* idea.
4. Since most hotels aren't configured for a confab of bloggers - some outlet strips for the outlets, if fire codes will allow.
5. Greta wants couches next year. We're bloggers, after all.
6. Time management. I want the half-hour back that lunch took from my panel and that Chuck ended up not needing for his panel! Dangit! I hadda whole 'nother subject to get to.
There. That should be sufficient as a starter. Let the snark begin.
On an unrelated note - it was great meeting Denizen AW1 Tim, better known to you all as Gwedd (though he wants you to get used to him as AW1 Tim from now on) for the first time in meatspace, as well as rubbing shoulders with the Milblogging Pantheon and our legion of loyal readers.
Denizen AFSis put in an appearance, putting stickers on *everything* including, it would appear, Princess Crabby's decolletage. I hereby declare publicly that Princess Crabby did not routinely reveal her foundation apparel, though she *did* threaten to do it a lot, and didn't terrorize too many people. Well, of course no sailors were safe from her grasp.
I did make an exception to the "no hugging" rule. When presented with that many good lookin' chicks who want to press themselves against you, even I got weak. The shield is back up, SWWBO only. Well, my sister too, 3 times per year, max.
