OK, so far. Unimpressed with the structure and organization of PDC. In 2003, I was impressed generally. This year, not so much.

First off, we went down to the street to catch a bus at 7:15am. About 45 minutes later, we got on a packed bus (luckily) and rode to the LA convention center. The bus had a unique odor of a overflowed septic system. Very welcoming!

Upon arriving, we were greeted with this:

25 minutes later, we were finally at the front of the line showing our IDs to get registered. Great … except the main session was to start in 5 minutes (a long walk was also necessary). Someone walked up behind the gentleman who was helping me and said stop registering everyone … just give everyone these white arm bands and get them going. “Please come back after the main session.” Arrgh. So, we wasted time to get no where, missed breakfast entirely, and didn’t even get registered.
