This brings up a good point.  I think PLUG and other Local groups did
not do a good enough job at "welcoming" the masses to Portland. 
Randall's event was ultra-cool, but there should be more.  Portland is a
friendly high tech city, but how many attendees learned that?

This is less a critisim than an observation.  I think if this con or any
other con is held here we should do some kind of event, we should do
something like "everyone meet at Bridgeport."  Less an expensive party,
but a destination for convention goers to target.
