Oh yeah, for the NESkimos and other performers, there were a ton of people watching in the BYOC room, cause we had a projector up there and could listen through a vent channel. Very great performance. Can't wait to see again next year.
This got me thinking. IPTV would be awesome for pax07. I know it's going to be at a bigger venue next year, but there's still a chance you might miss a showing, due to a tournament or something.
It shouldn't be too hard to set up a camera and mic in every threater, and make each camera a different IPTV channel.
Thinking about it, if we use the same methods my old workplace used, it might be a costly venture, but it's definately worth checking into, right?

As it is, this year we had them bring in an entire seperate Internet line specifically for the event.
But it's definitely something I'll be pushing for, when the time is right. I have no idea how the Internet supply is at the new location, so you never know.
tl;dr:
The tubes won't be clogged if the dumptruck doesn't go out of the building.
We may also end up doing a streaming video as well. Although, come to think of it, there may be some legality issues there, so it'll be something we have to look into.
