Poker on Fri night was a big success once again, thanks to the efforts and donations from many of you we were able to give out something to everyone and Arty, Debby, Audi, Bette and I donated shirts, matchbox type cars and much more. HOPS on 104th donated some glasses and HOPS Bucks for our winners and final table. Ultimate Poker of Champions gave us shirts to wear and entries for our winners to their quarterly tournament. We wouldn’t have been able to pull it off without the assistance of David R, Jennifer, Arty, Debby, Audi, David H, Bob S, Ed and Gary. Thanks everyone. Next year?
Our crafts panel on Sat morning was well attended even though it was earlier than usual. I didn’t make that one but heard it went well and the Paper Models/People were a big hit. Thanks to everyone who helped out there.
Federation Ball – This was the biggest change from last time as we had to move to the Atrium to make room for Gamefest. I didn’t make it into Gamefest but heard it was a big success. Anyone go/enter? The last minute change to the Ball put extra work on everyone but we got quite a few compliments and our DJ’s were awesome as usual. At this time we have a few things we need to get worked out to make it a bigger success and are at this time planning to have it back in there. Give us some feedback on what went well and what needs improvement. We didn’t loose money but it was touch and go. We hope we can move the time back to 9-12 next years as I think this was the biggest impact.
Utopia Planitia – I actually attended this one and had a great time. We had a good turnout and everyone seemed to be having a good time. The paper models/people were a hit here as well. Thanks to everyone who helped out here as well and thanks to Gary for organizing it.
I was also able to make it to one SFA event on Sun morning. Starfleet Fashion or Faux Paus? It was well run and Bruce and Trish work so well together. Funny and informative. They also helped me make it to the Utopia Planitia panel since it immediately followed and in the same room!
Overall I had a great time we all work really hard on planning and putting on all our events. I got to see some of the speakers and all were excellent. I did miss the Studio presentation so I want to hear all about that one from those that did.
Thanks again to everyone who made this another great Starfest you rock!
