DISCLAVE: No one has sent a bill for the wall - yet. Remember, it's Joe Mayhew's fault. Probably 1,250 people, close to 300 rooms taken Saturday night. Art show a success despite the recession. Thanks to those who worked, PFOOEY to those who didn't. The people who are willing to do the work are being burned out pretty quickly.

What's with everyone? Where are all my Disclave reviews? We are saved from the horrors of a blank page by the following brave, daring souls:
Jul Owings - Disclave was a horserace for me. I hardly got to rest a minute except for a couple of parties on Saturday night, & spent a good part of the con being exhausted. Programming? I never saw it. I saw the dealer's room only because I helped at a table there, and only saw the art show before it was set up. Unfortunately I missed the GOH speech. However, I brought this torment upon myself by volunteering to help this year. The best thing that happened was I sold three rear guards.
Sue Wheeler - Disclave was relaxed and comfortable, possibly the best argument for the critics of the large, Balticon-like cons, Still, those behind the scenes saw problems that might have been prevented with a little more advanced planning. In any case, I enjoyed myself at both Balticon and Disclave this year, something I could not say after Disclave last year. I left Disclave with the spiritual renewal I seek at cons....BSFS and WSFA members alike were concerned at the news that Barry Zeiger was forced to wear bandages over both eyes for 48 hours, after a mishap with his contact lenses. At last report, there was no lasting damage....Lizzy Lynn is a wonderful, warm, intelligent person who made me proud to be a fellow dork. If you don't understand, then you missed her GOH speech, and that is a true shame....She pointed out that to the "mundane," all fans are dorks: "someone you don't want to be in a working elevator with." So we should tolerate those fans with interests differing from our own; we shouldn't try to create cons that only our friends will want to attend.... (Sue's report cheerfully stolen from BSFS' Mark of the Beast.)
