I keep asking people “are you having fun? do you like this event?” and I have heard nothing but 100% HAVING A BLAST OMG SO MUCH FUN I LOVE THIS EVENT OMG. Seriously – I’ve asked brand new people, allstars, people who’ve been to only a few comps, people who go to every comp, chronic complainers, Russians, Texans, blondes, old-timers, kids, and lots and lots of pros (cause there are lots and lots of pros here to ask, and if pros are having fun there’s a “trickle-down” effect in my opinion) and so far nothing – seriously, nothing – but enthusiastic rave reviews …
Also, so far no problems with the floor being too crowded. Of course it’s still early as I write this – 2am so dancing’s just starting ..
Corrections:
~ I forgot to mention a third DJ last night – Erica Lyons! How could I forget Erica? Sheesh.
~ And the reason registration was slow is because the wifi connection in this hotel leaves much to be desired. I know I’ve been struggling with it myself and I’m told they’ve been struggling down at registration, too.
Anything else?
