Made it past Thanksgiving, so spending a few minutes to write up a con review! All in all, I had a blast!

The good:

-Was nice just to get a break from everyday life!
-Getting to see a lot of friends, some I've never met in person and a few I haven't seen in years.
-Good food and a great hotel.
-Good to see the area is getting built up more.
-Free parking rocks! A few other cons should make it a point when signing a contract.
-Great to see so many Sabers!
-Great to see the other Predators!

The bad:

-Had an extra day over last year but still feels like there wasn't enough time to hang out with people or schedules conflicted.
-Due to the government shutdown, cash was limited so had to skip on meals/stuff.
-Horrible traffic and drivers in Indiana and Illinois.
-Extremely noisy/messy neighbors, people do try to sleep at 4am.
-Got stuck in an elevator because several people piled in after us, overloading it. The elevator rules never seemed to be enforced.

The ugly:

-Not sure when or if we'll go again with our work and vacation restrictions. With the drive, I almost need to stop halfway and spend the night at a hotel which would need another day or at least a half.
