Ficly Convention 2011

We prequel, sequel, and comment on each other's work, but what happens when we actually meet in person? Describe whatever aspect of the first Ficly Convention you want. Do the authors each read their personal favorite story? What happens when you meet the writers you've been following? Are you stalked by an adoring fan? No real limit on entries. Last request - try to come up with an imaginative and/or interesting name for this Convention. It won't win the contest, but I'd like to know what you'd call it.
