I attended and participated on programming at both JDC 2 & 3, and
I* had a great time at both. JDC was a well run and well enjoyed con.

Heres a data point that highlights that: At JDC 3, there was panel
programming at 3 PM on Friday, and it was well attended. I know,
because I was on a Friday 3 PM panel, there were at least a couple
of dozen people in the room, and the drive that I had to do to get
there on time was... something. I left Ottawa at 6:15 AM, met up
with two pals coming with me in Syracuse at 9:30 AM, and we pulled
into the hotel lot at 2:45 PM.

You know... because you were at that panel. <g>

BTW, on the overlooked works panel; The Madness of King George was
about George the Third, not the 4th. :-) Great film, tho.

Yes, they decided not to go ahead with it, after the 3rd one. Its a
shame,
I'd have been happy to attend it.
