Pro reg is different this year. Max is 3 badges (used to be 4) and you are no longer guaranteed anything but the 1 badge for yourself. You have to to do the waiting room thing for a shot at 1 complimentary badge and/or 1 paid badge.

I thought it was always just the 1 additional for guests?

Got first choice again. Nothing much else to add, really. Here's a 100+ page thread for Hotelpocalypse 2017 if you're interested: http://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?topic=7158.0

Lot of paranoia, anxiety, and theory-crafting in there, though, so beware.:tinfoil:

if I've noticed anything it's that Podunk cons like Wondercon or Long Beach CC at least have better space management at the front. That bottleneck between Hall A and the Mariott pathway will never not be a clusterfuck, even If it weren't the largest gathering of nerds

The best freebie I got was from the Viceland installation. Went there early Thursday (on my way to the hall after picking up tickets for Conan, we kinda wandered around to the convention center rather than straight down). They were doing this whole things for Diplo and giving out these things that makes amazing airhorn noise. My wife and I can't get enough of this loving thing. They also had lighters, stickers and candy so that was awesome but not as awesome as the air horn sound box.

Second best was Red Wheelbarrow BBQ shirts that were kind of from the Mr Robot installation. You could use 5 e-coins to get one. The Mr Robot installation was awesome even if I didn't get past the job application. To tie into that, is it just me or does it seem like there was a lot more free alcohol this year? Or was I just finding it better this year since I already wasn't spending much time in the CC?

do you have a link to the airhorn on youtube maybe? I haven't watched Mr Robot yet so I'm not attached to it, but I would have gotten the drat shirt if if it was at the drat smaller location. Fuckin aint got time for that poo poo, and I never turn down free poo poo

time is money at con and so is hitting someone's bumper
