So sorry to hear about Wiscon; they are much the poorer with your absence.

Though it is not really compensation, you are invited to Hanscon, complete with curry, conversation, episodes of Lost in Space (oh, the pain!), Futurama (bite my shiny metal a$$!), Greg The Bunny (Blah), The Tick (complete with a slice of righteous combat pie!), etc., and a nice comfy mattress on my bare floor. Date to be determined at your convenience...

I'm also holding you in the light.
