To the organizers, judges, people behind the scenes, the hotel, and all the attendees (especially our opponents)...
My son Matthew and I had a great time. This was our first major con, and it was a blast. We may not have done so well :) - but we had fun, which was the whole point.
Not having been to a big con before - I can only compare it to little local ones - I'd say that everything seemed to be good, and we have no complaints other than the heat outside :) But to be honest, Tennessee isn't much cooler these days.
And on a personal note - a big thank you to the opponents of my son. You all treated him with respect and fairness - something that doesn't always happen at these events (I've had players mistreat him at local events). To have an event and opponents that younger players can attend is great - and allows him and I to have some quality father/son time (as in the team tournament).
So thanks everyone! Hope everyone else had a great time, and maybe we'll see you at other events - we certainly enjoyed this one!
