THANK YOU 

On behalf of the World Horror Convention 2006 Committee, we'd like to thank all of our attendees, volunteers, Guests of Honor and supporters for helping us pull off a successful convention! I'm writing this at the first stages of the traditional Dead Dog Party at around 6:00 p.m., so there's still some fun to be had, but the convention itself is officially over. We'll see over the next few days how we did numbers-wise, but reaction-wise we seem to have done pretty well (yes, I'm being reserved because I don't want to over-state anything this early!).

Congratulations to the 2007 Toronto Committee and, as of today, to the 2008 Salt Lake City Committee! 2009...? We'll get back to you on that. ;)
