I saw Stamp and Sandom at the evening session before the show started.  I
met Stamp, and got pictures of him, Sandom and Irish Jack.  JE was also
hanging out signing autographs.  As a way of impressing John enough to give
me one, I told him I came all the way from Cincinnati for the show.  He
looked at me funny and said, "And you made it alive?"  (Hint: 1979)

I've heard a lot more showed up during the day session (which I left
early), including Moon's mom, Charlesworth and Astley, and Mrs. Daltrey.

Has anyone seen any Convention reviews or other stories in the press, in
the U.S. or U.K.?

Re the Swedish CD:  surprisingly good, but that Magic Bus take-off is
pretty weird.
