One of my big regrets at Writercon was not actually being able to spend any time talking with you.
Yeah, I feel the same - I did not get to socialize and talk with enough people. I might have been more sociable and less Teutonically stolid if I had been there with my own money, but since the scholarship fund hat enabled me to come I decided to attend as many panels as possible.
I am still a bit sad that Jaqueline Lichtenberg's workshop ate up so much of my time. It was an interesting workshop, but it would have been nicer to do a variety of things in the same amount of time, you know.

I would help you with your stories, but I have to warn you: I spend little time on niceties...

Oh, I better join the family for breakfast....
