Synopsis
Comments: Crowds
For a Friday, the crowds were amazing today. We're a little scared to see what they will be like tomorrow. Additionally, ATL is crowded in general this weekend: there's a Tech home game, a Falcon's game and a Braves game going on as well.
Panels
We went to a panel on 3D printing, which was quite interesting, as well as the Intro to Star Wars costuming. We looked at the dealer rooms, which was a lot of fun. We tried out the Brobdingnagian Bards, a live performance, but they were not very good.
Friends
We randomly met Max and Alan, friends John knows from Warmachine, and got to travel around and hang out together, as well as visit the board gaming tables, where we also met David Kelly and Sean. That was pretty cool! I met Jake from the 501st / Rebel Legion, whom I remember from the parade.
And that's the news so far!
