That Bill Schmidlin certainly gets around. I can hear him singing that Hawaiian song. We just need to get him to the conventions now.

Aloha, :)

The Aiell-athon last April was a highpoint of my musical, gastronomical, comraderaria, and fun career.

Too much good music, food, drink and laughter.

If I'm not mistaken the "official" festival started at around 1PM and people were still going strong at 4AM. If we were near a major city we would of ordered in $200 worth of Chinese food and kept it going for another 12 hours.

Long sessions are possible like that, when there's no alcohol involved.

Todd, from I can remember, there was a little alcohol involved. ;)

It was a great time, no doubt. I'll be there for the next one.
