On the topic of patreon rewards... I very much enjoyed the backstage tour, and hope we didn't get in the way too much. However I had some trouble with the seat reservation offer. It was a very nice offer, but the last minute nature of the announcement caused a few problems. Not the least of which was that security at the pawpet show apparently hadn't been told about it. Though member of security was kind enough to offer me a seat in the security/medic section once I showed him the patreon post.
That's why your number and name were written down during the tour.
You then just had to pick up your paper bracelet from the security office. There were many free seats during the show for the patreon people, you just had to find them first.
Yeah. Loved that tour, was awesome to see things from the other side for once!
Generally, this PPS was awesome! And was happy to that you could make it snow in the end after all. Also interesting that it was a half open end. What happened afterwards is up to evereyones imagination.
Also for being understaffed, this EF went super smooth!
When it comes to events, mainly the concert got delayed a lot, everything else late was just bearable delayed, which was really nice.
Some issues with the queues I mentioned in my feedback thingy already, that Sponsor/Regular attendee queue confusion existed, that queues lead outside when it rained or there bees were, that DD queuers occupied the whole area for many hrs which was annoying.
What I forgot to mention in my feedback survey:
The music during the dances mainly had the style of: "The more bass, the more just hard wub wub wub, the better!", even during the Classic Cruise as long as I was able to stay. Why...? There is a variation for a reason, I'd really appreciate to stay "on topic" there and not play weird remixes.
That Eurovision was really (partially remixed) Eurovision music gave me laugh though. Bet there are many not familiar with it. There were some good choices.
And was it just me, or was it unbearable warm in the room during the dances? Had to walk into the fan corner to cool down pretty often, way more than usual. There was no air moving where all the people were.
The DJ ship was kinda cool, just caused all the people to only use half the room. xD"
All other real problems were hotel related again.
Old story of hardly or no working ACs (wing 4 AC main unit was broken for more than 12 hrs), bathroom exhausts now doing even less of a job, this time they added """doors""" which reduced bathroom privacy to a bare minimum and even got a... glory hole... (now I really don't wanna share a room with someone there, especailly if I don't know them...). 180€/night 4* Hotel... x_x"
But staff remained as nice as ever and more or less helpful as possible.
