Yay~ Im back from Acen. The con itself was a complete and total bust, however I was thrilled to get out of Indiana for a while and spend some time with my friends.
Long story short, Acen was terrible this year. Late events, canceled events, crowds that they obviously didnt prepare for, lines from one end of the hotel to the other, nightmarish elevators, and annoying hotel staff.
I didnt get to see a single event on Saturday. I spent my entire time waiting in lines....Then they would come out and tell us that after letting in half the line, the events were full. So i'd go wait in another line for a differant event, only to be LATE..therefore ending up at the back of the line, so when the staff came out and said THAT event was full, I was in the same spot. After being turned away from 2 events, and waiting an houra and a half for a 3rd one, I just said screw it and went back upstairs for the night.
This morning we left early. Packed up at about 10:30...Tried from then until noon to get a baggage cart and leave. Finally got one after calling, and calling, and calling, and CALLING the hotel staff to hurry the hell up, and we were on the road again.
I spent more time in the hotel room this year then I think I have any other year. But oddly enough, Im not all that upset about it. I got to spend time with my roomies, and make new friends in the process.
