fifteen years

[totient]

A little more than fifteen years ago I got a call from Kim van Auken asking if I could run a Staff Den for her a few days later. I could, I said, what's my budget and when do I pick up the room, and then I went off and did it.

I didn't really understand at the time why she sounded so relieved on the phone.

Now I do.

The old "first hit is free", eh?

LOL! I've been on both sides of conversations like that.

Yup, and it's been 11 or so since I couldn't understand why you were so excited about me doing the restaurant guide. :-)

And 11 years since you asked me to do Program Book Ad Marketing and I didn't nderstand why you were so happy when I started getting paid ads (and money for them too!) ... :-) (12 years since my first Arisia...)

Having been peripherally involved in running the consuite for a small convention for the last 20 years, I have some small appreciation for what you're dealing with. What I've done is on a much, much smaller scale than what you're doing, so I can only imagine.
