I know a $2 cover or even $5 would not deter me from coming to another event, although others may feel differently. I thought there was a cover? | ||

There was no cover, I have never paid a cover for Barcraft, and I've been to most of them. Next time, get things done with written agreements and there will be no misunderstandings. | ||

Pretty sure the bar just started charging a cover without telling anyone. Really shitty. | ||

If you have any issues what so ever, please take them up with me. Any criticism should be appointed to me and not the bar/owner. However I do promise a better outcome for next time." There was miscommunication, there was a lot that wasn't weighed in, and we were dealt with a hand that had one outcome in the end no matter the venue. St. Patricks + crowd for St. Patricks + crowd for a barcraft. It just didn't balance out well. As I said in my statement don't let this experience get you disappointed, I want to make it up to EVERYONE that did come out. It's definitely a learning experience, just it didn't end on a good note like I wanted it, I don't mean to pry, since it is none of my business and I'm not sure how much you can discuss, but I'd like to learn from this should I ever try to organize something like this. What exactly was mis-communicated? Was the turnout being unexpectedly high the issue or was it something else? Surely the bar management could tell from the dates presented to them that a problem might arise. Without more details, the only thing I can take away from this is be careful trying to organize/attend Barcrafts or the venue owner will screw you and your participants over, which makes me not want to do anything like this period (organizer or attendee). Good luck with your next event! I hope it goes much better for everyone involved! | ||

There definitely was was a higher than expected turnout, I'm not sure what exact number we told them for a turn out, but it was just basically bad luck that we're in a bar city and stacked on top was St. Patty's | ||

I'll be travelling to NYC for two weeks. Are there any barcrafts planned for Dreamhack? There should! I'd go! ♥ | ||
