Good for DenFur. I certainly hope they had the staff and infrastructure in place for that many attendees. It may sound like a great thing for a first year convention to go well over projected numbers, but trust me, it's stressfull and not much fun for the staff as they have to stretch resources beyond what was planned for. I'm really glad to see a new convention in that area with a hopefully completely fresh staff. One that will form a good relationship with their hotel so a minot bit of internet drama isn't enough to shut things down. Yes that means I feel the staff of RMFC didn't do enough in that area or they'd still be around.
