> Hello All,

> Well I guess now that I've gotten to meet so many more of you I should 
> come out of  my "lurking" closet and post a little more than I have, time 
> permitting. Truth be told, this List and the PTG in general have been such 
> an enormously important resource to my continuing education.
>
> Many thanks to the Institute, teachers and other individuals that 
> volunteered so much of their time to put on such a prestigious event. It 
> was also an honor to have the opportunity to teach. Special thanks to Tim 
> Dixon for his article which was the basis of the underlever class; and I 
> think those that attended it, enjoyed building their own little models 
> that they got to keep.
>
> As to Tom's comment about class selection, it can be a make it or break it 
> decision. You gotta decide quickly if you can catch another class. I 
> personally look for the outrageous tooling that most people are never 
> going to commit the time to building. So you just can't please evereyone 
> no matter what.

> This convention was so great, I found myself usually wanting to be in two 
> places at once even at the breaks. Besides class conflict, you got 
> mini-concerts, the exhibit hall and just good ol' hubnubbing. It's really 
> just too much and my brain was way beyond its Fiber Saturation Point. It 
> seems prudent to cut class here and there to just retreat in silence in 
> the hotel room.
>
> John suggested that Listers should wear a smily face button next time, but 
> Ron thought maybe a horse's derriere would be more apropo.
> Great to see all of you and missed the rest of you. Anaheim?
