I'm home and back to work today after a typically great MouseFest.
A fun time was had by most, including me, except for my buddy, Ray Sharpton, who was tragically struck by some horrible bug and spent all of MouseFest laid up sick in his resort. MouseFest was certainly the poorer for his absense.
Most people seemed to enjoy the new diggs at the Contemporary and the Yacht Club convention centers. The biggest differences I saw were having MF101 indoors, so the presenters didn't have to shout over the castle forecourt shows, and it was nice to have snacks and drinks at the Chairman's Kickoff.
I enjoyed all of the traditional meets like MF101, the Dole Whip Meet, the MegaMouseMeet, TriviaFest, PodFest, and MouuuussseeeFest, as well as a few new meets.
And most importantly, MouseFest provided many with an opportunity to see friends whom we only see once a year, and to make lots of new friends. I seem to come home every year with at least a half-dozen new faces in my mind - whose names I usually forget until I encounter them again on one of the message board communities (I have a terrible memory for associating names with faces). Any of you whom I met for the first time - Hello! And forgive me if I don't recognize you on the boards.
I spent several hours yesterday post-processing my pics while I unpacked, and they are uploading now, so within the next 20 minutes you'll be able to see them all here:
