You're making it sound like a major defeat. But remember, by Nashville
standards (even by Pittsburgh standards), 5000+ participants is not a
very big convention. Even counting all the parents and coaches, make
it 10000+ or 15000+, we're not even in the same league as the !@#$ Bass
Fishing tournament or the %^&* Senior Olympics, let alone the Southern
Baptists. (But we might be as big as the American Federation for the
Blind.) (These are all events that have been in Pittsburgh recently or
are coming to Pittsburgh.) Be patient with them heathen.
