When I went to the National year before last, I was expecting a "science fiction convention" crowd, but overall it was a very normal group of people - in fact, more interesting and intelligent than normal people (whatever "normal" means).

I get the feeling that on the last night of an auction (Mastro, etc.) many of us open a nice bottle of red wine, put on a good movie, and settle in comfortably, while the refractor pack crowd is scouring ebay and chain-drinking Coca-colas...not that there's anything wrong with that.

I skipped last year, but look forward to seeing most of you at this year's National.
