I definitely had fun in Hartford. Also, there's no way that Diaco was prioritizing big donors. There were definitely large donors in Hartford, and HCBD went through a serious effort to visit every table and talk to every single person. When I spoke with him I was in a group and was very tight lipped--pretty much only said my name at the beginning of the conversation and then shut up. When he left five minutes later he said goodbye to me by name, which might seem simple but really struck me. He's talking to hundreds of people and I was incredibly quiet, yet he still remembered my name. He makes a point to not only talk to everyone, but to make them feel welcome. Seemed like a good dude.
