Introduction
George from Blizzard calls to make sure that we were still coming out to California. Of course we were still coming. After working three months to make the visit happen, we weren't about to let it get away. We told them that we hadn't wanted to bother them, but in reality, we hadn't called to confirm that we were coming because we didn't want Blizzard to change their minds.
Blizzard Trip Report Day One - Introduction
George from Blizzard calls to make sure that we were still coming out to California. Of course we were still coming. After working three months to make the visit happen, we weren't about to let it get away. We told them that we hadn't wanted to bother them, but in reality, we hadn't called to confirm that we were coming because we didn't want Blizzard to change their minds.
The Lego map was built and sent the day previous. It was a large 30" x 40 map of the World of Azeroth. I had basically hoped it would arrive in one piece. I warned George it was on the way, but I don't think the scale of this map actually hit Blizzard until the box arrived the next day. I also left off Northrend. But that was deliberate. I wanted to make sure they had to invite me back if they do an expansion!
We came close to missing our appointment in entirety. Having arrived at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport early to catch our flight, we had been put on an earlier flight to Chicago and Los Angeles. Good thing too, as the flight we were supposed to take to Los Angeles would be cancelled later that day.
After getting into the Los Angeles airport around 10:30pm local time, it was off to find our rental car and make the trip south down the interstate 405.
Getting into the hotel room about 12:30pm, we made a quick scan of the forums and then it was off to bed for a big day on Friday.
