before I forget shit
GOOD;
-location was top notch. food options were fantastic, had something different every night and was fine with going to some places again if I wanted to. had something for everyone even those that were on a budget. stores nearby for shopping if need be and didn't need a car unless you were going pretty far and even then you had other transportation to get around. good shit with that
-group trip to canada's wonderland, albeit organizing it could've been better dealt with more communication, except I dont think anyone was left behind. I didn't expect anything like this to happen so kudos to naegleria for putting that together, really fun day
-hotel was pretty nice. any issues were minor at the worst and even then could be dealt with. wifi was good, breakfast was whatever (but it was free, so eh), and good customer service. no microwaves in the rooms sucked ass, but I didn't have to use one too much.
-currency conversion rate was nice, I ended up spending less money while there including the hotel
BAD;
-needs a larger stream room. most runs barely filled the room, but for some runs that room got packed and hot fast. was solved later on in the week, but more room and air circulation would be nice especially if more decide to show up to next year's -EDIT- adding this to it all as it's really needed, could really use a projector next event. even my tall ass had trouble seeing sometimes while sitting down and I could tell people wanted to arrange themselves in other seats so they can see what's going on.
-I heard the setup music was pretty shit (I didn't hear it myself at all). I can understand wanting to use free use music due to twitch's copyright policies, but most of that free use shit is generic garbage and even though chat was lame for the most part, I had seen that complaint show up quite a lot. bad music can drive viewers away (although I'm not sure if NASA is striving to become more popular online). just something to consider.
-FUCK customs
-setup times were long as shit....I'm sure staff knows this first hand
can't think of anything else, really good event and actually had fun there and was engaging with the event more than just treating it as a hangout compared to past GDQ events (too big for their own good). felt like something I needed and wanted to relax which I was able to. hope there's another, cheers
p.s.
Las Vegas for NASA next year, kthx
I got to drop out. had to fork over a lot of money in car repairs and messed all my plans up for ESA. So take Aero The Acro-bat off, I'm not going anymore
