It was a great festival - I tweeted at Sled that I can't wait 12 months for more, and that they should do a monthly showcase. The reply sounded like it is something they have been considering.
Big props to my sled buddy Windom - we made it almost to the end, and showed those young folks a thing or two.

Couple of things Troutman.
1) I knew I saw you at the Olympic Plaza show on Saturday. I probably should have dropped by to say hi, but it looked like you were having a decent time.
2) I've got to say, you're tweets during Sled Island put pretty much made many of my colleges who were attending look like chumps. The amount of shows and enthusiasm for the festival was amazing. Well played sir, well played.
