The Whispering Woods Hotel and Conference Center here in Olive Branch, MS makes the previous year's venue for Mephit look like a desolate hole. Food's better, too.

This pair of lovely young creatures stopped by the lobby while a bunch of people were laughing at this decidedly surreal Mario video game. No idea what that was about, but you don't want to watch it while drunk or high. It's rather Dadaist.
