Awesome. Just one more word of advice - I'm not sure who wrote up the forms
last time, but they used very tiny columns. It'd be better to do more pages
with bigger spaces for people to write. Also, the tiny bits of paper with
the ticket numbers on got lost in the hat.

OK, I'll shut up with the advice now.

the name it bears. Things are not only what they are. They are, in very
important respects, what they seem to be.
