Let me start by saying it was an awesome con. Those who handled the vendors (Mike, Ed, Pam, no ideas if you guys have LJ names) were great. They made sure I had a great con and had everything I needed. I would also like to thank them here for working with me through all my computer problems. I would also like to say security did a great job. Coming by on the first night and giving the info to contact them if needed and wondering through to check if I was having any problems. That being said there were a couple of issues I had I thought I’d mention so maybe they might be addressed before next years Arisia.

1) My husband could not join me till Saturday. He took the T in and while we heard there was a shuttle neither of us could find out anything about it. Not sure if there were signs but I know he said he didn’t see any at the closest stop. He had to walk the last part and was dead by the time he got in at 8. Maybe more or better signage for next year?

2) This was the second year I had trouble trying to leave the hotel. Last year my husband and I waited for almost 2 hours for a cart and ended up schlepping my stuff to the car without one. (I asked for on at 4 and started schlepping at 5:45) This year I was lucky to have some great help as I was alone. A great group of people (Thorondae, Rowan, Silver_Fic, Louisa, Eva, Alice, James) who helped me out. But after waiting 30-40 minutes for one and seeing three outside not being used I sent one of my helpers down to get one. Not certain if anything can be done about this but thought I’d mention it just incase. Also so I could take this chance to acknowledge a great group of people who helped me out even though they had only just met me. !!!!!!!!!!THANKS GUYS!!!!!!!!!!

Some people have been complaining about the hotel size/layout and yes it’s not great. The best would be to combine the PP and the Hyatt. And in a perfect world..blah blah blah. One person mentioned moving to Providence but I know several people who could not afford to go to Fetish and probably wont be able to go if it stays there. I myself was hoping to vendor there but had to change my plans when I heard where it was. I fear the same would happen if Arisia moved there too. It would be the first Arisia I would be unable to attend since the founding of the con.

Again it was a great job and all those who worked hard to make it so deserve a big round of thanks. You guys did great and while you can’t make everyone happy you made the majority happy. No one is perfect and neither is a con. Just thought I’d toss in my two cents worth.
