That would explain not just the crowding issues, but more drama being stirred up then usual from what I read. I guess when you youve got an extra 4600 attendees, a section of hotel space you cant use, and elevator issues, tensions are gonna rise and tempers will flare. Despite these drawbacks leading to a more mixed reaction, a lot of people seemed to have enjoyed it and have indicted they will likely be returning for next year. I just hope FWA will be better prepared when that comes, and likely expect an extra 1000 or so (maybe more?) for next years venue.
