Colorado Gold

Mario here:
The 2009 Colorado Gold conference is history.   For you Biting-Edgers, you know I was voted RMFW's Writer of the Year, aka the WOTY.  
The crown Jeanne gave me, while magnificent, lacked two attributes.  First, it didn't come with minions, which left me as king of a kingdom of one.  Second, the crown was awesome yet too small to express my pride as being honored as this year's WOTY.  So I handcrafted the giant WOTY fez.
