Please comment about last nights problems

[jestorrodo]

 I am sure that the fans at home would want to know about last nights Fan faire Keynote speech. First, Why was it delayed an hour and Secondly , Why was there a big hole of unattended seats (by my count about 213) close to the front ( DID Smed forget to shower?).

<p>Actually, I am more interested in the<b> positive</b> things that happened last night at Fan Faire. I would much rather read about that...</p><p>What did Mr. Smedley have to say? Any <b>good news</b>? Anything to get excited about? New games? Improvements and updates to older games? Plans for the future. </p><p>Such things like that. What did you hear?</p>

I was ther last night and they wouldn't let us in the doors cause of the video issues they were having.  However, while some got some tshirts thrown at them from Brenlo, I enjoyed the free beer they passed out  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

I Love the snowspeeders too but done better by better.But why where many not allow in due to this " Video issues" and is giving them free beer and Tshirts the right thing to do - do you check IDs?????

<p>Which is why Hoth is not live yet.  =)  </p><p>Since you are here though, you could make your way to the Galactic Assembly and ask the team about it in person.  Or you could continue to pass along second hand rumor and conjecture, your choice but you seem to prefer the latter.</p>

But Please tell us all about the video issues and thoses not allowed it.

[Bixiebopper]

You better hurry on over.  The Assembly is already in progress.  they are having a great time and the team is giving out great info.  =)
