shoutout to Sodium for solo adminning the event and making it work
shoutout to the BaseStack staff for putting up with us, feeding us endless pizzas and shots, and letting us stay well past closing time every night

shoutout to supra for making it happen, we're coming back next year right?

people at the bar afterwards asked me if it was worth it. if spending lan locked in the production box was really what I wanted. if I knew how un-appreciated producing is. if I knew nobody cares. I got to build and run the production of my dreams. everything I wanted has been enabled by staff, casters and players. in return I have received nothing but gratitude, praise and appreciation.

could I take what I've learned from TF2 elsewhere? easily. I can and have walked into productions for other, better paying games, but these three days have shown why I can't walk away from TF2. the days and weeks of work aren't going towards some corporate production for a crowd I've never met. they're going towards the best lan I've ever been to, for a community that (for better or worse) I care about, and that has shown it cares about what we do.

it was worth it. you made it worth it. thank you.
