Excellent report. I didn't get to as much programming as I would've liked to, but enjoyed what I did see.
We had bad luck in the bar when seeking quick food there as well. On Saturday or Sunday at 2pm we went in there and sat at a table for five minutes and neither bartender (there were two) approached us even though we were the only people in the bar area at that time.
We gave up, went to the restaurant, and were told that they'd just closed "but they have the same food in the bar." We explained to the restaurant staff-person that we'd just came from there and why. She said "I'll get their attention." We returned to a table in the bar and there was absolutely no one there. She went in search of someone, returned after five minutes to say she was still searching, we waited another 5-10 minutes and then gave up and went elsewhere. Gah! At other times we had very attentive staff there and good food. Just weird.

Glad you had a good convention!
