Re: Atlanta: The Wrap Up and Grading
We had issues with our hotel but when I called, THS responded back quickly. They offered suggestions for us. They have not always been able to answer my many questions this year, but they have been good about getting back to me when I've called.
I complained to THS (and via them, to FIRST) about the raising of the food prices on Friday. That was just ridiculous as was the rule about not bringing food purchased at the Congress Center into the Dome and vica versa.
The walk was awful and so I didn't visit the Hall of Fame area (why was that in the pit area anyway???) until Saturday, when it was crowded with VIPs.
I never made it to the FIRST store - wish they could have had a second store at the Dome. (I'm assuming that because they sold items this year is the reason we didn't get 2004 Championship t-shirts? I wish that had been communicated to the teams in advance - our team members kept asking when they could go get one - had we known in advance I could have told them to plan on purchasing them down in Atlanta).
We missed several conferences because they occurred while we were having matches. I wish they could have been held on Wednesday instead.
I thought the party was wonderful; the food was decent considering it was pre-made for thousands of people. All the people working at it that I encountered were polite. The band at the Embassy Suites doorway was terrific! Awesome fireworks. Thanks to the hypnotist for offering to do his show at the last minute; RAGE is grateful for the fodder for our team banquet next month!
