While someone else will probably provide a better recap of the Fest than this, let me just throw some fact checking out there to show what an interesting conversation yo ucan have at a 'Fest: Tupac actually died in '96. dotchan’s Quirk -really- doesn’t look like she’s a prude. (thanks for the advice, though, Hockey!) Neither [shortstory.com](http://shortstory.com) nor [shortstories.com](http://shortstories.com) seem to have any stories about incest or Vietnam era- Christian fables Strunk and White is selling for less than $4 on [amazon.com](http://amazon.com). 🙂 ---

I had a great time with you all! I hope we can get together again soon. I haven’t done any indepth analysis on Dot’s quirk…that was just a guess. 🙂 ---
