The Typecon 2008 thanks thread

blank

I just wanted to say thanks again to Tamye and everyone else at SoTA and in Buffalo for everything that went into Typecon 2008! You did an incredible job, and it was memorable to say the least.

yes, many big thank you’s! I had a great time.

Thank you, James. Agreed.

Peter, I’m sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye to you and Stefan. So many pals, so few chances to chat. I hope to be less busy and scarce next year.

All,

Thank you all so very much for a super TypeCon.

Everyone involved with SOTA works so hard I hope that it is gratifying to see so many people enjoying and appreciating their efforts.

Again, my thanks.

Wonderful to meet some of you. Can’t imagine the number of hours that went into planning and organizing. Thanks to everyone involved.

Thanks, James. You’re quite welcome.

And right back at you. It’s the attendees and participants, as much as the organizers, that make TypeCon what it is. As you know, the whole thing is pretty much volunteer. So TypeCon is all of us and we all help to create it in our different ways.

Peter, it was great to see you and Stefan. I’m glad the Swedish delegation was there again to “represent.” You guys are always great fun to have around. But next time, get your stuff to me in time to go in the goodie bag ;-)

Nancy, I enjoyed what I was able to see of your presentation. As someone said to me in the hall afterward, you always manage to make the most seemingly mundane things so fascinating.

Mark (“Jupiter Boy Hatley” ;-), it was great hanging with you & Pam (and Craig and Jason) at the Roycroft, however briefly.

It was great to see many of the usual suspects and meet some more Typophiles face to face.

Hope to see y’all again next year in Atlanta!

So many, many people to thank – Rich and Carima for their generous hospitality, Shu for taking a hit for the team by staying up late to entertain the attendees, Tamye, Kent, Michelle, Jon, Deb etc., for all their work behind the scenes, the sponsors, the speakers, - truly amazing! Thanks SOTA!

Regrets: not getting to talk to more people, not making it to the “Hockey House”, missing the Roycroft, and of course that last brewski on Saturday night. :-)

Si — Sorry you had to leave early. Thanks for all your help and especially the blogging; I hope folks who couldn’t attend appreciated it.

P.S. I love the new pawn.

Thanks to all. An inspiring time, and a pleasure to meet many of you in person.

I wish I could have finally met Peter Bruhn after so many enjoyable internet posts! Hopefully, next year!
