We had over 50 last year, so we missed a lot of folks this year.
Many from my gaming group were unable to come.	We still had 
quite a few first timers.

One secret to the success of the ECC convention has been the 
coordination and teamwork between Jerry, Mark, and I.  I also have
to acknowledge Nick Caldwell for his work with the shirts.  But
the three of us bounce off ideas and plans and make plenty of 
decisions behind the scenes.

We begin the preparations after Labor Day....
