So that moron out in Winnipeg actually had the gall to write me and admit that he was involved in trying (but failing) to get the police to cause problems at BMEfest. It's just so pathetic, given that I also have a pile of emails from him begging to come to BMEfest… What, if you can't go, no one can I guess?
Yeah, all communication from him is basically the mother of all funmails.
I wish I'd had time to talk to more people — looking at this sign-in list I see so many people I'd been looking forward to meeting in person that I didn't have a chance to hang out with. Oh well… next time I hope!
| SO MANY PEOPLE! |

Just some quick pictures; these are of the very start of the day by Clive (I see more on MarmeladeFlesh's, x k x's, and avaia's pages too). The rest will start to trickle in over the next day or so. Also, a lot of people who wanted shirts didn't get them (we totally sold out) so in the next 48 hours we'll figure out how to get shirts out to those who want them. Oh, and I'll have some “lost'n'found” pictures too but feel free to pre-emptively message me.
Anyway, I'm really tired, but I'm going to try working on a “BMEfest from the host's point of view” type article. I'm not saying that I do all that good a job (other people do the real work), but I've learned a few things from hosting BBQs that might be useful to people as they continue to grow larger and larger all over the world. Watch for it; I'll submit it as an experience in the next day or two.
I will post lots more later, I now have to return some rentals and so on…
So we've already had a bunch of idiots come in, sign in with fake names (do you think I'm not able to look up if someone is an IAM member?), talk about how they're CoBM (not according to the CoBM website) and now it looks like they stole a bunch of stuff too. Not cool… And yes, their group has been thrown out. They created a fake page two days ago to find the maps and so on. Seriously pathetic… Have fun on your drive back to New York.
