Overall a great Convention.
There were a few minor glitches, but the convention is obviously taking leaps forward.
We discuss the good and the bad of the con.
When friends share too much.
We remind people what ADULT rated games are.
We give a reality check on GM compensation.
And also spill forth a little wisdom on reatil sales.

Show Recap
Best Origins for Trish
Yep, that's Becky
The spectacle that's Iron GM!
IGM makes friends share to much
They were older than that
Reading the event description is YOUR responsibility
Being a parent means you must adhere to the law
Adult only events are a draw
Sometimes you get bad players
Some ideas on Origins' future
Origins has the best GM benefit of any convention
Prize support from Origins was back
The sky is falling, John Ward is a business man!
Yes, we min-maxed our event schedule… legally
GM rewards are based on supply and demand
Lessons were learned
Games that are turned up to 11!
Only one consistent complaint this year
Generics were difficult to purchase
Overall Origins is moving in the right direction
Exhibit hall was should out, WOTC was turned away
Local game stores had a presence
Value added customer service is necessary
Still no confirmation on Origins moving
