Just got back home...left after the DC stomping of NP. I have only been in the balcony area thus far, but holy shit the seats are bad legroom wise. It made me think fondly as to the ample space on an airplane in comparison and was part of the reason I didn't stay for the final match...shit is painful after being subjected to that all day.
Was pretty cool being there in person. Bruno and a bunch of Valve folks were at the Panera Bread getting lunch lol. Standing in line for the secret shop was painful...wind was strong and with windchill, it must have been in the single digits. They were sold out of a bunch of stuff (mystery boxes, IO plush, and almost all the shirts unless you're cool with a small or triple or double XL lol). Chatted it up with some guy (may have been an attorney) whose office was a couple blocks from the theater and we watched the Warrior Gaming vs. OD match on his phone while waiting for the slow line to move. Was kind of odd being around so many DOTA enthusiasts, since I know no one IRL who likes it like I do lol
