We were originally going to try to write this as quite a positive review, but as I sit here writing in our chalet at Conception, on Sunday morning, a bit upset, I think I'm just going to rant instead. I put the costs at the top, partly as a guide to how much you might expect to spend if you go to this convention next year, but mostly because we're pissed off, and writing is cathartic. And cheaper than shopping, which is what Bog Boy and Mark have gone to do. (NOTE:- In an effort to be a bit constructive, I have put all the suggestions for convention organisers in italic text).

This is what happened, and this is why we're pissed off.
