This is such a thorough post. Thanks Kati! I think this post will be great for PyCon newcomers. Getting the chance to experience a play-by-play of a past PyCon before attending your first PyCon might be even more useful than reading the various "how to have a great first PyCon" posts that many of us have written. It was great seeing you at PyCon! :)
