Last night’s unfortunately far below average opening ceremonies were also then marred by the LAPD finding a suspicious package right as it was ending. Anyhow, here’s a few thoughts if you’re ever doing an event for 30,000 people.

• If you think the idea of serving birthday cake to 10,000 people during a single session is a good one, you are wrong.
• An air pressure jet pack, while very cool, is also very loud.
• You need to have a big bang to really get things started. A big revelation or a secret that gets out helps forgive a pile of programming snafus.
• Your big name star has to be there. George, unfortunately isn’t here, which is a big miss.

Still having a blast, fun seeing a bunch of friends from www.theforce.net and meeting some of the new guys keeping it going for us. Fun …
