No, No, Nooooooo! Save them for the Caver, Mr. Loving, sir, please!!!! Here's an idea-- I saw multiple people do interesting things at NSS Convention and maybe no one wants to write a "real trip report" but multiple brief vignettes by several attendees, collected into a "glimpses of Convention" article could be pretty entertaining. I'd write up my favorite "fooled me" moment.
Any takers?
