Holy SHIT there are a lot of people here!! They were worried that they might want to block off half the room if only a few hundred showed up, but that doesn't seem to be a problem – there are at least 1,200 people here!! (good guess, Zorph!)
I'm hanging out with Zorpheous, Cam Holmstrom and Impolitical. We're the cool kids.
