But I agree with "One Who Posted" that it was the best in recent memory (my own personal favorite was the first one I attended, which featured Will Bagley, Simon Southerton, Sandra Tanner, as well as our own RandyJ and Uncle Dale). Well done, Kathleen and Susan and everyone who pitched in...
Hans and Brigetta Mattsson were wonderful; it's easy to see why Hans rose up in the European LDS hierarchy. He was supremely unpretentious, and his easy charismatic style will be a thorn in LDS circles for years to come.
I'm just "bringing myself up to speed" on the "Swedish Rescue"; as a "technical Nevermo" I focus more on Utah History and local goings-on, but my close friend Jesus Smith is one who's devoted his energies to MormonThink, and I'll be spending some time catching up on this one.

I finally managed to track David down Sunday to get him to sign my copy of his book; he's a remarkable individual (as are so many who are drawn into the Ex-Mormon orbit), wholly unpretentious, and my only regret is not having more time to talk to him.
I'm hoping the videos of the Conference Presentations are available soon; that will be the first one I watch.
One final observation: This was also "the most serious" group of attendees I'd seen. They came to learn, not particularly to party (not that some didn't), and I found that noteworthy.
Okay, now does anyone have any more on why we couldn't post using the hotel WiFi?
I suppose I could start a rumor blaming FARMS or Rodney Meldrum's "Firm Foundation" (those clowns are next on my Roadkill Awards agenda, BTW).
