session results

The sessions went well if not with more than its share of problems.

First and foremost the Hotel bar, while a great location, does cost money to reserve. And the whole point of the sessions is that they are "free". Meaning of course if you want to eat or drink YOU the attendee have to pay, but there is no cover to get in.

So, not paying for anything we show up to see that everything is booked. EVERYTHING other than the lounge, which was my second choice in the first place. Having only seen it during the day I was unaware how dark it was, and seeing that they were going to have a band playing they were going to turn down the lights even more. I get a pohone call from Rick beofer i get there "This sucks" I scramble.

After some mulling around in the lobby, racking our brains for a location, Marlon got on the horn to BJ's, a restaurant across the street, and comandeered a large section of their backroom for the night. Getting a table for 30+ without a reservation is no easy task.

It turned out to be a very nice spot to session and we think we may very well throw our next one there.

cheers to all that were there and made it a great night.
