Apparently it's open to all, but I had never heard of it until Jack Bludis asked if I was going. Show your nametag, get in free, free drinks, etc. It was crowded but not 1500 people crowded, so I guess a lot of people didn't go.

As for #3 - I actually saw quite a few young people out there, although the average age is of course much higher. But it seemed to me there were more youngsters here than at my last Bouchercon... in 2002. Back then, of course, I was a mere lad of ...

Glad you liked the name, Judy. I sat next to you at a couple of panels, sat across from you at the barbecue place, talked to you several times, and when I got home I remembered your name as "Judy Bobmnnmmphk". So I improvised.

Daniel - yeah, I had to send an email to Gina Bianchetti (sp?), co-founder of Ning, but I finally got my password reset.
