No, it wasn't that one, but it was run by someone I know and like, so I'll leave the complaints to people who actually attended the session. Nobody seemed really put out about it.

I thought the science for writers session was great. I don't write science fiction any more, but I'm an astronomy nut, and I'm enough of a nerd to enjoy a session on faster than light travel at any time. Besides, I might use the information in some story or other...
