Specific comments should probably go in the spoilers topic. One request:
please try not to give away the "beep" stuff since it functions best with a
surprise element.

Still recovering from the con...the reception was terrific. I'll let
others comment on the specific crowd reactions, because I've tried in general
to avoid that...it's just too direct a hype, I feel.

But it was a very gratifying weekend. Thanks all.
