I want to join in with a "me too!".  I helped out from 2pm to 3pm on 
Friday and had a blast.  Going to do it again if I get the chance.  (I'm 
moving to El Salvador sometime next month so future conventions are very 
iffy.)  My only regret was that I wasn't able to help out Saturday and 
Sunday also as I had planned after my scheduled hour stint.  Something 
came up and at 9.30pm Friday night I was heading back to Georgia.  Sigh...
