For anyone not able to make it, I am hoping to paint a picture of all that is going on at the last HOPE in subsequent posts.  First things first, despite the name, there is a good chance that this is in fact not the last HOPE.  It was mentioned throughout the day that the name of the con, is just that, a name.

It may mean the end of this amazing event; but more likely just a new beginning.  There is no concrete evidence that this is the case, but even the conference program alluded to it.  If I hear anything solid, I will let everyone know. For now though, fingers crossed...
