It was a really fun dinner!

Thank you so much to everyone who attended! In spite of an, uh, small hiccup with the dinner reservations things went off very well. It was great to see so many GO'ers together in one room! Service was also excellent this year (at least in the back corner!).
I hope everyone had a good time, and that as many as possible will join us next year as well!

Thanks again to Stephen for organizing the dinner. I enjoyed meeting everyone and putting faces to the names. Conversations, food and service were both excellent. I am already looking forward to next year.

Thanks to all involved, I had a great time finally meeting in person!

Although they almost locked Steven and I in for the night when they forgot that we were still downstairs, the venue was quite nice. :lol:

well, sales at a gemshow or conference rarely occur, people come and test the units, we give demo and usually they need time to made up their minds. Normally sales start a couple of weeks after the events...but this time we even sold (took orders)....
