Homeward Bound from Origins, 2009

Jean Sexton reports:

I am home, safe and sound. I lost a few plants that were apparently missed by the person supposed to do the watering, but my furkids are fine.

Steve Cole and Steven Petrick report they are about 230 miles from the office. They ate lunch (BBQ, of course) at Sweetwater. Knowing it would be another year before they got it again, they got more "to go" and are having it for supper.

Overall, attendance was down at Origins; no doubt the low attendance was in part due to the economy. However, ADB, Inc. had a better year than last year, due to our very loyal customers. For example, over 500 ships were saved from "A Fate Worse than Death" (melting down for scrap as they were factory seconds). We sold completely out of Booster #91. Star Fleet Battles boxed sets sold as did Federation Commander; I had requests for the sold-out Federation & Empire. We thank you for being at Origins, for stopping in to chat and play, and for telling us what you want us to produce for you.

Tomorrow I'm sure one of the Steves will have more information about the convention.
