It was also run incredibly well run from an exhibitor perspective. Instead of hours inline to load in I was in unloaded and done in a half hour. The major complaint last time in Chicago was the ridiculous AC situation. This time it was borderline cold. Load out was equally amazing compared to previous nationals. Almost to the degree that makes you wonder what the hell was so different this time and why couldn't it have been done right before? Kudos to Joe, Paul, Jim and their whole team.

Regarding logistics, there was one looming disaster on Thursday that seemed to have been identified by the promoters and rectified. The Pete Crow Armstrong appearance at Tristar.
Originally scheduled signing at 11am with the photo op, as always, a nebulous "prior to". Hundreds of people who normally would not have been present at GA doors were moved to 3pm.
