Thank you for honoring us with your invitation.
This being our first IRI, my goal was modest: Don't embarrass yourself. I'm sure we did that on a team level (maybe not so much on a personal level...
).
The level of play was truly astounding - more than Archimedes this year.
The venue was a nice setup, lots of room, plenty of seating, Lovely lovely air conditioning, and no far walks to get anywhere.
It was really great seeing so many friends and colleagues, many of whom I hadn't met in person before. Probably the best part of the trip, except for the DSK show Friday. I sure hope someone got that epic on videotape somewhere.
The only less-than-ideal aspect of the whole weekend - aside from the 13-hour drive each way - was the food for sale. While very reasonably priced, the selection was limited (pizza or hot dog). I did survive, however.
A huge thank you to everyone who had a hand in making this happen. I know what it takes to run an event of this magnitude, and to have it run so very, very problem-free was just a joy to witness.
And we never lost Comm the whole weekend...
