My first Expo visit & this definitely bugged me. I don't care for XMen (many of these tables were available in the vendor room) and saw several AC/DC units in the tournament row (?) that were unavailable for me (a potential home use buyer) to play.

Again, as an Expo noob, I am quite surprised that the show effectively shuts down for 6 hours (!) on Saturday evening. Fortunately, I arrived semi-early that afternoon and had a few hours to shop and play. My feelings echo many others here in that there should be a middle ground wherein the entire convention is not stopped for a banquet that many will likely not attend.

That said, thanks to all that put on the show and to those who brought games (especially!) and wares.
