I'm droqen, I've been hosting the VMJ for several years, semi-intermittently! I think my personal best in terms of actual participation was all the way back in 2012 when I was doing it almost all alone - if memory serves, I was out at my grandparents' for a couple weeks around Christmas because the power went out citywide. I only managed to make six things, and only four of them were even remotely good :) But it was very fun and satisfying!
