Well, in my opinion, I think Origins would be _alot_ more successful if 
people would quit treating it like a "warm up" for Gen Con.  Nothing against 
Gen Con, but I get very tired of hearing "Well (product X) isn't out 
yet...but are you goinig to GenCon?  It should be out by then..."  Origins is 
a very fun and, compared to GenCon, alot more organized...it's a shame it 
doesn't get the respect it's due.....  I also saw Matt there, but didn't want 
to bug him with any BNW talk, but he did look like he was having a good time.
