As #bsdcan con chair alumni who watched the conference from a distance:

I am very proud of the team. Y'all done good.

Dog willing, I'll attend next year. Con chair alumni get their drinks for free, right? I think I established that rule when I was in charge? I distinctly remember establishing that rule.

@mwl what a folly. You don't drink. You should have instituted "Con chair alumni get their *gelato* for free"

/me shakes head in disbelief

@gumnos yes.

THAT'S THE GAG.

@mwl @gumnos Beat me to it. 😐

@mwl @gumnos And yes, I’ve snarfed quite a few drink tickets off of Lucas and Jude over the years.

Shame you don’t need these!

@dexter

Indeed, @mwl and I are odd ones out as non-drinkers. I don't personally object to alcohol, but ① I'm a cheapskate and alcohol is expensive, and ② I prefer to be in control of my faculties, with no desire to get drunk. So my consumption is limited to about one beer or glass of wine every couple years—less than most drinkers consume in an evening 😆
