Once you go to a convention and you don't go the next year. You sit at your desk thinking....well the convention just opened......you look at all the people on the webcam and wonder what they are buying.....you grumble a little.

You come back to the webcam a little later and you see people you know and you wonder what great thing you might have purchased today….. You grumble a little more.
You come back to the webcam even later and you think about all the great stuff going on and all the great people you would meet….. You grumble a lot more.

You do this the entire 3 days the convention is going and you tell yourself……”next year I will be on that stinking webcam” and you start working on the plans to show up next year.

It is torture, I do this painful task every other year…..the good news is, I will be there tomorrow.
What will torture me the most, is missing the members who we have lost over the years (May they attend the convention in spirit and in our memories).
