Quoted from Hellfire:

I was reply to you posts while reading through pages 2-3 here when i wrote my replies but glad to see you got things working out by page 4-5 here lol. Sorry I was replying as i was reading your posts.
It wasnt a matter of you being a new person entering the hobby but acting like the people that work hard to put on this show where punks becouse you could only bring one machine and couldnt get 2 after party passes becouse of it. realy if you would have presented your problem better someone here would have prolly hooked you up with an extra pass instead of complaining about the shows policies and expecting special treatment to people that come from a bit further away.
But im glad you got things sorted out in the end and were still able to make it to the show this year. sorry I didnt read the entire thread before i replied
