Jordi-
Please don't take my reasons for liking Grapevine better than Indy as a location as a slam on your efforts. I had a
WONDERFUL time at Indy, all because of you (and the unsung heroine, Mrs. Jordi), and I'm duly appreciative. If Indy had a venue with the same amenities (not counting the proximity of my sister) as Grapevine, I wouldn't have a preference between them. Travel distance really means nothing to me.
But the simple fact is, you are WAY better-suited than most of us reprobates to host a Con. #1, you don't drink. #2, you have a wife who's willing to help you with the enormous amount of work, and she doesn't drink, either. The rest of us, however, are mostly sociopathic drunks somewhere between our 7th and 8th doomed shackings-up. We can't even balance our checkbooks or remember to pay our bills, let alone handle the burden of hosting a Con. And if we were ever drunk enough to volunteer for it anyway, it would be an unparalleled disaster, because there'd be 1 or 2 guys like you sober enough to notice
.
Besides, I kinda enjoyed last year watching HT being snot-slinging drunk the whole time and Yankee keeping the ship afloat. I hope HT remembered he thought she deserved a raise for her efforts
