We Did It!

I've been on the go since I got back from Detroit, oh, okay, lovely Romulus, Michigan, on Monday, but I'm still kind of amazed that FJBryan and I managed to somehow pull off [livejournal.com profile] bistocon without any major disasters.

And people seem to have enjoyed themselves!

And we got to hang out with lovely people we knew and meet more lovely people we hadn't met before.

And we talked about Pros all weekend.

And we've agreed to do it all again in two years!

I'm planning on putting up a proper post or two at [livejournal.com profile] bistocon when I have another few minutes, but for now let me just thank everyone who attended and made it such a joy, and everyone who wished us well.

Here's hoping we'll get to see even more Pros friends in 2016!

I should bring you and fjb crowns the next time around--Queens of the con. You done very, very good.

I'm still kind of shell shocked that we pulled it off. *g*

I'm most pleased that everyone had fun, and it was a total pleasure meeting you! Looking forward to SHareCon so we can chat some more whilst other people worry about how much pizza to order and whether the snacks will hold out. *g*

Congratulations! Everyone I've seen post seems to have had a fabulous time. I hope you're not too knackered and frazzled!

Thanks! We did seem to pull it off. Now we just need to recruit a few more people for next year. ::looks casually in your direction:: *g*

It really sounds like it was a fabulous weekend. Major kudos to you and fjbryan for all your work and for caring about our fandom so much \o/

I'm as astounded as anyone, but we do seem to have pulled it off. Hopefully it wasn't a fluke, and we can do it all again. (Care to attend a con in Detroit? I hear it's rather fun? *g*)

It sounds like everyone had a fabulous time so you should go ahead and take a bow. \o/

Aww, thanks! I'm just glad it seems to have gone off well.

You know already: we all loved it. I think the fact that you have seasoned con-goers and new arrivals talking about the next one says it all.

We need lots and lots of posts at the comm, but in the meantime, YAY!

Honestly, it was worth the transatlantic flight and I am quite willing to pimp it out to UK fans - and persuading other people it is worth it is a very different thing.

I do hope you will pimp it out in the UK, and drag a few more people across with you next time.

(Oooh, you made your icon! Pretteh!)

Actually, [livejournal.com profile] sc_fossil made my icon, but yes, pretteh!

And I see "I am tempted" comments from two UK fans already. Fingers crossed!

I have heard everyone saying how much they enjoyed it so I think you and FJBryan deserve a massive round of applause for organising this.

We probably also deserve to have our heads examined. But I'll be content with being satisfied that everyone had a good time. ;-)

I've seen so many lovely posts about the con - you made people so happy! What an excellent job you all did. *twirls you*

Hey, your lovely banner was a big help! We used it for the badges too! ::dips you::

It was a wonderful con and I'm so happy to hear that you're going to do it again in 2016! Thanks for throwing such a great event, and I hope you have a good time at SHarecon.

I'm so glad you could come, and sorry you ended up with con crud. Hope you've recovered.

I'm looking forward to SHareCon. Especially the part where it's not going to be me figuring out how many pizzas to order. *g*
