I agree. I didn't end up going last year, but the year before that (so 2015) they were cool with me putting in on my badge lanyard instead of my wrist which was MUCH better.
I get a little less enthused every year. Last year, I made attempts to buy tickets to two panels and scored neither one. It's such a scramble to get tickets to the panels, that it's hard to get excited beforehand until you see what you can actually get tickets to.The content in the space itself seemed to be mostly video games and I don't do video games. So, I didn't stick around too long. There was no point.The dance party was fun, though. That's the only thing I spent a decent amount of time at.Maybe they'll have some new panels that get me excited to try for tickets this year.
Gonna have to agree that it was much better at Petco park. More space. More things to do. Natural stadium seating as it's a, well.. stadium. Better cell coverage too. Children's museum is so tiny in comparison. I wonder why they changed? Too expensive at Petco Park?
Yes, I believe it was a cost issue. And Nerdist outbid them for the space.
Zachery Levi was at C2E2 over the weekend and one of the things he mentioned in his panel was the hope to one day have Nerd HQ travel to other cons like C2E2 and NYCC.
I actually liked it best the 2nd year when it was at a bar. It was near my hotel and I would just pop in and sit at the bar for a drink and/or something to eat. It was easy to just strike up a conversation with the people next to you. Very social. Every so often the Nerd HQ folks could come out and have a raffle or announce a photo op. It was more of a hang out. Now, it feels more corporate.I like the dance party a little bit, but it is a madhouse. I've heard there is pushing and shoving near the front whenever Zac appears.
I missed the second year, but I went the first year, which was also at a bar. I also loved it there, but since it was the first year it wasn't nearly as crowded. I can see why they had to ditch the bar space due to crowds, but damn I wish we could have that back. It's far to popular now though.I'm sorta proud that I went to the first ever Nerd HQ. I'm gonna cling to those bragging points lmao.
