I agree completely, and I think I had said so in my comments.  Perhaps we're
having a heated agreement.  Seeing the vendors, even when a pleasant
activity, is low on the list in priority -- the only thing
I commented about is that they're not OFF the list completely and that
the biggest problem is usually one non-vendor event conflicting with some
other non-vendor event.

What would happen if the convention were made a day longer, and things
less parallel'ed?  Can it happen, or is the format etched in stone?
Just curious!  :-)

Absolutely.  What they do is simply amazing and even more so when done just for
the love of it!
