Alex, Marit and Kiera... you need to reach around and give yourselves a big pat on the back. Considering the huge turnout I think you did exceptional for the event.
Yes, day one was a nightmare, coat check stuffed, too hot inside, a massive level of people and the door guard was the clincher. I won't bitch much though as I was nursing the hangover of the decade Friday.
Day 2 was much better, much of it due to less people there. One issue I still have is the lack of a meeting spot for those of us unfortunate to have a mobile. I missed many people as we did not have a perfect rendezvous spot. No fault to the organizers.
Overall I thought it to be a fantastic event all around and look forward to many to come. This massive attendance was surely a learning tool for the future. More seating areas though are a must. I found it very hard to find a place to cool my heels for a bit.
