There was an odd feeling to this con, especially in the evenings. G got tired much earlier than usual (he's usually a night person) so we were asleep by midnight both(?) nights, and I know we weren't the only ones turning in early.
Also, a lot of the NY clan just weren't at the con this year (and neither were some of the out-of-town fen I'd been hoping to spend time with).
There was also better/more-than-previous-years programming, which might have helped contribute to less-than-previous-years socialness. I know we saw you and some of the other clan members briefly in the hall on our/your way to something, but there seemed to be less unscheduled time than in past years (at least on Saturday).
And then there was the dearth of open parties this year. I think there were 2 (including con suite) listed for Friday night and 4 (again including con suite) for Saturday.
a few factors
