It went well! I like the new hotel space with the exception of it being very isolated. There is just nothing to walk to nearby. Since we came in Corby's SUV, no problem, it just makes getting anywhere somewhat time consuming.

There was plenty of space! Tons of tables on the main side, a few chairs and tons of room for crazy suiters to run around in on the video game side. I was a little concerned initially about sharing space with the gamers, but the room was large and the airwall drank up sound so there was no real conflict.

I'd brought one of the big crank stands with a T bar to put lights up on but the cieling was pretty low...I could only crank it up a foot or so. Next time I'll bring truss totems.

It feels like attendance was a little lower than last year, but Corbeau thinks that may have just been the way the space was split up. Perhaps also because it was in a bigger space.

Freemasons were sharing the space, old guy with interesting costumes. They were nice...one of them meowed at Iggy at one point. Heh. They had a good sense of humor.

I had a good time dancing from many hours! Edgewise brought his fans for the dance floor and as always they were a godsend. I wore my new chest padding with fans, and while it clearly needs a little work on the strap front (the straps kept slipping off my shoulders) the fans blowing across my chest we're REALLY nice. Mmmmm!

The crowd was smallish but I was rarely the only one out there and the energy was good. A goofy coyote danced with me for a while, that was fun although I kept almost falling over... dancing with huge feet and poor vision is hazardous. No complaints though. :)
