…. and already I’m pissed off.
This is an event that was thrown together in 30 days (maybe less) and it shows…
Let’s see first there’s the parking situation… UMMMM there really is none. The nearest garage is a mile away and the rest is all metered, with 1 hour limits! Obviously nobody told the organizers that if they didn’t want their attendees constantly running out to move their cars then they might have wanted to come up with a location that had some halfway decent parking.
Planning, it would have been nice if the schedule for the event was posted more than 9 hours before the start of the event…
Power…Â Your holding an event where almost everybody attending is going to have a laptop in a building with few outlets…Â How about sending an e-mail out more than 9 hours before the event allowing people to plan to bring things like oh power strips and extension cords.
Check in? The line was out the door for at least 30 minutes before the event started, and eventually they gave up on the check in just to get people up to the first presentation.
I can only assume that it will just get better as the day goes on… But so far, it’s pretty lame…

If you want parking, look down the street. All the residential streets don’t have time limits on Saturday. Seriously. It took me less than a minute to find parking.
At least you got a free shirt, water, food, and talks. Right?

Even still, parking was pretty tight. Heck if I had some warning about the parking situation I would have looked into alternatives.
