Ha! You and I are both blearily updating far too late into the evening! :)
I intend on trying to get Spiel to do something next spring even if T'con isn't a go: it won't get all of you my friends to Blacksburg, but it may get enough to make it worth the trip (and it's certainly fun to play with the students). But a Spiel room is far easier to arrange and deal with than a full con. We just invade and play ad hoc. Programming largely consists of someone asking someone else, "what next?" The con as we know it no longer has the facilities (even the past two have been awkward in some ways with the split between the daytime space and the Microtel), and yes the staff are almost officially a generation past college-aged and have been doing it since then, so it may be time to let it regenerate. Still, it was a great weekend.
Hopefully I'll see you soon!
EDIT: Oh yeah, and the gaming actually lasted until 12:30. If you care, Starbuck and I were sleeper Cylons and while it was close, we did finish off you pitiful humans. :)
