Apologies to any I may have missed.  So many people stepped in to help
various aspects of the day.  It was wonderful to see many hands making
light work!

Thank you all for your hard work.  It means a lot to us.  Also, thank you
to everyone who attended.  It was wonderful to see you out and we hope you
have a wonderful (albeit chilly) time.

Of course, I must personally thank my amazing co-steward - Þóra Vargr.
This was Þóra's first time running an event and she stepped up to do an
amazing job in helping with planning, making site tokens, and being
everywhere during the event, troubleshooting issues.  She was a lifesaver
as she constantly reminded me to drink and picked up any slack I left.
Well done!
