Post mortem/what we didn’t have time for

  • We ran out of candy and books! We started with 30 books and 144 full candy bars, and as we were running out we got a donation from a kid’s mom for another 25+, then made a quick drive to the grocery store purchased 66(?) more later. Had a dozen left over at the end of the night.

  • Slappy did not have a voice due to bluetooth speaker connectivity problems, despite it working earlier that day. Did not get strong wifi for SSH, so troubleshooting was laggy. A simple reboot fixed it later that night.

  • Wind knocked over a book and made it hard to keep the book in Skelly’s hands

  • Kids touched things they shouldn’t have: laser, slappy, walked anywhere not blocked by rope.

  • Filled fog reservoir, and with timer at full tilt we emptied it after a couple hours or so

  • YouTube videos of music will have ads (without Premium), so being lazy and not preparing audio files this year was foolish.
