Could I request that extensive notes be taken on these panels, and then shared with those of us who can't make the 1000+ mile trip to Utah in order to attend? I know some of the panels have been taped and put on YouTube in the past, but just in case some of them aren't. I'd love to see the panels, but I'd settle for the notes of an attentive attendee ^^

Yeah I'll see what I can do. Maybe I could try to record it using my netbooks webcam or record the voices at least.

Seconded x100. I'd absolutely love any sort of video/recap any lucky attendee can provide for the rest of us.

How will we meet up?/How will we recognize each other?

Um if you want to meet up I'm sure we could find a place and say I'll be at this location. Just don't tell me what you will be wearing... That might creep me out a bit as if this was a blind date.

This has been SO MUCH FUN so far!

If you want to meet me specifically, watch out for a guy with an orange jacket. I got that nickname from Dan for about five seconds during one of the panels. "Orange Jacket Guy".

Also, Howard gave me a free book! Yay! I can now say I have something signed from everyone on Writing Excuses.
