Greetings from the US West Coast Gathering. I just want to congratulate you on your successful and fun gathering and wow---what a fantastic male/female ratio.
As far as the number of attendees go: There are different schools of thought. Many prefer the big Bacchanal rowdy, more is better events. But both Steph and myself have found that smaller, more intimte, more cozy ones with the right people work the best for us. Either way, as long as you had fun. Congrats again.
