[quote name="ShotnGoal"]Love to hear from other IHN members thoughts on the convention this year. So far, had to wait in line for an hour just to get to the ballroom for the opening. Then most all stood from 3-5 PM waiting for the event to begin. After the ceremonies ended, went downstairs to the exhibition hall and it wasn't too bad. Line to the Second City event had already started long ago and appeared to be longer than the wait for opening ceremonies. Anybody think the first 2 conventions were better? Definitely need a new venue for this.
Can't wait to hear the grumblings tomorrow about the wristbands and number of them available. I'll take a pass on that and hit the sessions.[/quote]
couple things...
I think they sold way too many tickets....I opted to eat lunch instead of wait to get into the opening ceremonies so we watched it from the other ballroom, dont remember having to get in line that early for the opening ceremonies last year
The scratch off system needs to be fixed...I went 0-6 :x and the guy next to me went 4-4
I personally think they should do more for Hotel guests, for example Soxfest only hotel guests can attend friday night or even 2 autographs per room (it blows to wait in that line alone)
I usually am not really a huge fan of waiting for autos but I got Larmer today so that was really exciting...I don't think I will be trying to get any tomorrow (maybe Hall but I think that may be a pipe dream)
All those negatives...but I do think they are some positives
I think there are more vendors this year
And I cannot wait until the seminars tomorrow there are some pretty cool ones lined up
