On Saturday, the hotel's conference room became our official Schmooze Room. Up to that point, most of us had experienced difficulty using the hotel's free wi-fi connection. We suspected that an unthinking employee had used the router as a hat rack. But suddenly it started working very well, so we began picking up email, surfing the web, and running the SchmoozeCams. Two more Schmoozers, Abe Merchant and Michael Middleton, arrived.
