Little early...but, what the the hell...let's talk about it.
I'm a little disappointed they didn't change the venue. The biggest problem with last year's was the fact there was absolutely NO ROOM to walk around in. They've tried increasing prices and adding 10,000 sq. feet of space right off the hotel but, I don't see either of these helping at all. Plus, the pinball room was ridiculous. Way too crowded and most of the people in there didn't bother to bathe. (hint: Gamer BO) This year was the first year that, other than the vendor room, I didn't enjoy myself as much as I should have.
The one positive change they did make was moving the convention to April rather than the end of March. I think a lot of people got caught in that snowstorm on Sunday night, myself included, so, I'm glad that's taken care of. Of course, that doesn't mean it won't snow in April. I'm keeping my fingers crossed but, odds are, the chances of it snowing are way less now that they changed the date.
