The moot is dead.
I'm sure it's shocking to anyone who actually reads this that I didn't immediately come here and post, but the awful truth is that the very next day I got sick. Sickety sick sick. Just in time to get to fly home to Victoria - which means I haven't been able to hear in my left ear since I got back over a week ago. Yeah, yeah, I saw a doctor, we're all "hoping" there's no permanent hearing loss.
I am also sporting not one, not two, but three lovely cold sores on both my upper AND my lower lip. This may be a world record. It's certainly a record for me. And they're complemented nicely by the huge scab on my nose from blowing it too often. I'm right sexy!
So, the moot...well, we didn't win anything. But, on the other hand, we didn't make asses of ourselves. So, mission accomplished! It was a lot of hours putting in exhausting effort for...well...we got a nice dinner out of the deal. Unfortunately we were seated with a racist, sexist asshole who is apparently big in the Toronto law world - I think they wanted to punish us for bringing the only three vegetarians to the event, causing them to scramble at the last minute because it hadn't even occurred to them to even ask if vegetarian meals might be needed.
I don't know what else they expected, bringing a team for Tree Hugger U.

It doesn't sound like this trip worked out the way you planned it at all. Especially, that jerky family that pretended to want to see you and then took off to Texas. :(
I hope you used up your bad karma for the year.
