I've always kept early hours.  Perhaps that is why they always insist
on putting me in the quiet area.  I don't need to be in that area.  I
can sleep through most anything, especially after all the stuff at
kfest.

It is amazing how many people catch up on sleep during sessions.  Even
when they are good, and all are, it is hard to fight sleep.
