It was fun! (Also, you gave me a friendly brain in a jar, which helped.)
For everyone else, the skillset in a jar was hotel chair, and Elise sat me down with someone who wasn't up for doing the details, but who was glad to consult on what to pay attention to. She put us on a couch, watched 10 minutes of us comparing "Who do you know in Boston" in exceedingly rapid fire Bostonian manner, and we then had an immensely productive discussion about what we wanted to do differently next year.
Since then, I've run hotel for six events (ok, so four of them were at the same hotel: we like them, they like us, it is awesome), and I find it exceedingly pleasant work, except when I have to explain corkage three times in twenty-four hours. (Do feel free to ask: we're not near that problem yet.)
Though it does remind me to go post about that for the sixth of the conventions.
And there is not such a line on a resume, but if I ever get a chance, I intend to trot it out as an interview story.
