Absolutely an amazing time. Glad my plans changed and I was able to be there as much as I was so I could keep replacing in.

Nice meeting you all. Thanks to you all as well to all the hosts and greyice too.
Sup, later.

You helped keep me calm during the deathnote game when it was running absurdly later than I wanted people at my place. I am eternally grateful.

It took me an hour to get through screening and it was only getting worse last night.

I think the wait is very time of day sensitive.

We arrived at the airport at 6:05 for a 7:55 flight and made it with a minute to spare at best <_>

No cots Monday night. (I slept at airport to ensure I made my flight and maybe get an earlier one.)

To be entirely fair, Keith and I had no real issues at security either, so it's possible~.

Holy shit.

The worst I've ever had was almost missing a flight out of midway getting there an hour early. I had to cut some people in line and sprint to my gate.

This was 2 years ago during spring break

I went three and a half hours early and snuck on the plane after the scheduled board time but in time to still make it. Terminal 5 was worst because you can't load-balance the quickest gate in since T5 has its own bubble.

So if anyone is wondering why I left marbles without saying goodbye, it literally made the difference between getting to Helsinki and not.
