The Baitcon tradition, in summary

[roozle.livejournal.com]

If there had only been a Baitcon, we would have been thankful.

And if there had been Baitcon with yummy food carefully supplied for us by tamidon and many others, we'd have been satisfied. And well-fed.

And if there'd been a Baitcon with 84 flavors of ice cream not counting the Sunday ones we would have been delighted and surprised and intrigued (and occasionally a bit horrified).

And if there'd been a Baitcon in a lovely new site with lots of room to spread out and entertain ourselves with circus and music and camp fires and games and streams and woods and labyrinths, we would have been amused and soothed and relaxed

And if there'd been a Baitcon with 170+ people (not all of whom I got to spend as much time with as I would have liked) and mostly, as far as I could see, happy smiling people ... we would have been hugged. A lot.

How much more thankful and satisfied and delighted and surprised and amused and soothed and relaxed and hugged, then, are we today when
* we had a lovely Baitcon
* with terrific food
* and 84 flavors of ice cream
* and music and circus and camp fires and games and streams and woods and labyrinths and a contra dance
* and lots of people
* and hot showers
* AND flush toilets

Dayenu!
(Next year at Baitcon!)

but seriously A huge thank you to jbsegal and kimberlogic and the entire BCC.
