The original plan was to go to the Atlantic Beer Garden, which probably could have fit everyone with...minimal problems. But it was already booked up. So they chose Whiskey Priest as an alternative which already had quite a few meet ups going on on top of regular friday traffic (as I showed up, a friend of mine who works for a game developer was trying to get a table for 30, he was not the only one trying to make such large plans happen). So the wait to get to the upstairs balcony where the meet up was was something like 90 minutes to two hours, which isn't really acceptable. Gamespot and Giantbomb made up for it by buying line goers drinks though, and it was really nice upstairs once you got there. But yeah, it was sort of a logistics fuck up. The GB meetup is so big that they really need to book an entire venue to house everyone who's interested.
