And then on Wednesday night, even if you're not a guest, there is a reception generally at the Sheraton Hotel, which is across the street from the convention center. And so you can go there and you can chat up more people. Again, more food, drink, entertainment, people. It's a great way to kick off the convention.

So then you get a good night's sleep, I'm sure. I know that. Younger Sean would have been up till 3 a.m. and then fall asleep at 5 and then wake up at 7. Old Sean now goes to bed at a reasonable hour to wake up early to start work the next day. So Thursday morning, what did you do and what did you learn?

Sure. So Thursday morning, I originally had signed up to play Call of Cthulhu because I always say I love the setting, don't love the rules. And so every couple of years I try to play it with a different group, a different set of folks to see what am I missing? What am I missing here?
