So after this week, I've got my "plans for next year":
- No 8 a.m. sessions other than Thursday morning
- Not DMing any sessions on Sunday, the place empties out way too fast
- Going to team up with George to run four sessions total, of the Blitz's successor, so we can both get our badges for free instead of just me.
- Staying with the Westin (got the room reservation already for next year) because it's just so damned convenient) ... If I can get a cheaper room from the block when they come available, I'll do it and cancel my existing reservation, but otherwise I'm stayin' put.
- Not being too attached to Sunday afternoon sessions, because they will be at least one-half no-shows, so you'll either have a crappy experience or a cancellation.
- Better to just use Sunday afternoon as "troll the retail floor for specials from vendors who'd rather deep-discount than pack stuff up to ship/carry it home".
