I hope everyone had a good time, and survived our string of late-night Matrix parties (I felt a little bad for my SOE roommate from Denver as I came stumbling back into our room in the wee hours of each morning ;) more or less intact. I can't hope to do justice to everything that went on there in a single post, so I won't try, but memories leaping to the front of my mind right now include Mastatec's inspired on-stage Matrix shout-out at karaoke night, all of us shouting up at Tseng to jump down from the massive climbing wall at 1:00 am because the last buses were leaving, two guys who'd partied a bit too hard being escorted out of the brunch buffet from a table next to us by five security agents wearing black suits and even earpieces, Kazuki striking an awesome Neo pose on stage in the costume contest finals, Virrago's Warp Core heroics, and Craint buying everyone drinks as we dominated the Las Vegas Hilton's lounge for yet another night.

We had twice as many MXO players come out to Fan Faire this year than we did last year! The staff at the Hilton's buffet were hard-pressed to seat the 30 of us who trooped in together for food on the very first evening. I think we were very possibly the noisiest group at Fan Faire, after the of course massive EQ and SWG followings, and Matrix players are now certainly notorious in the minds of the various SOE staff surprised to find a large, boisterous group of players in the back rooms of the lounge every night. We had two energetic panel sessions (despite me taking too long to get through the ten-chapter story summary at the first one :p), an MXO demo stand (although I think we didn't discover it until the second day, after we'd "borrowed" most of the Agency's area on the first day) that drew a lot of onlookers, and MXO clips running on large screens during both the karaoke party, and the SOE keynote address--something that was altogether missing last year.

I'd like to thank everyone who attended for making this year's Fan Faire a big success for the Matrix Online! And yes, we are gathering up the list of both pre-registrants and walk-ins, and will be getting those Deep Blue Jeans to you as soon as we can. Keep an eye out for a News and Announcements forum thread that will have all the details on that once we're ready to start mailing them out.

We went to the buffet for breakfast given the seating we went to like a back room where two drunk dudes were eating. They kept getting moved and being a bit funny I dont see what the big deal was but the staff moved their food when they went to the bathroom to try to get them to leave. They were like whats the deal! They came up to us and asked "Hey guys do we look to drunk to you?" I replied "Theres no such thing as to drunk"

The wait staff moves them away from us to another seat minutes later security in suits come up all cross arms and tough guy style to escort em out.
