As the final day of the convention arrived, we knew we were in for more treats but lamented the end that would come all too soon. The day included another great T.E.D. talk session and a fantastic lecture by the incomparable Dani DaOrtiz.
But what is a convention without the fire alarm going off? This has to be at least my sixth convention I've attended where the alrarm went off. At least this time we didn't have to evacuate the building and stand in the frozen tundra. But as I left my room I saw the firemen coming down the hall inspecting the fire alarms on the ceilings.
The evening show ws packed with the 600 registrants plus several people from the local gentry that filled the room to overflow. It was literally an S.R.O. show. After the show, the doors opened out to the hallway where tons of free pizza were offered free to everyone.
It was a fun pizza party that lasted well into the wee hours as many registrants took the party into the bar for late night sessioning. The picture below shows Garrett Thomas showing a coin trick near the pool table.
Although magic was going on all over the place, I saw Brandon Coleman doing some one ball juggling. Perhaps you might be as impressed as I was.

Two of the featured performers from the evening were Justin Flom and Justin Willman. I got caught between the two Justins. Like a Justin sandwich!
