Every single person i've spoken to has had nothing but rave reviews. For me personally, i couldn't have been more impressed with all the comics....amazing. And that goes for off stage as well as on. Like you said, Andi, "There were no “actor / comedians” or huge egos" and I think that was why the weekend was such a smashing success. That 'community feeling' that you guys mentioned above is so true...it really felt like a big, happy comedy family. see everyone next year. Aspen was just one big, long smile.

As you implied, Andi, it was a great shot of adrenaline and ... dare I say love? ... in a profession that can leave you tired quick. I just had one of the best weekends of my life. I didn't want it to end. It felt like I was there for a whole year in one way, and just 15 minutes in another way. You're right it's hard to get smart-ass comics to put their weight behind a collective thing. But as far as I could tell, everyone did. Plus it felt like we were part of something new -- a new kind of festival in a new era of standup. I was just so chuffed. I felt like I didn't stop grinning all weekend. I can get sappy and romantic, but ... the minute I got off the plane I knew it was going to be great. And yeah -- everyone watched everyone's set too, which doesn't always happen. Can we do it again next weekend? I thought it was the best ever, frankly.
