Open apology
« on: February 24, 2014, 12:30:58 PM »
To all whom found discomfort of any kind due to the AC units coincidentally mishandling the heat load during APE, please accept my sincere apologies. Me and my wife did what we could, in turn Xtreme did what they could. For some of you found the subsequent ventilation noise a bit overbearing, I'm truly sorry. What was done to rectify was all that could have been done. All I can say is that it won't happen again. Thank you for understanding.

Marcel

Not a problem, these things happen.  I had a blast and loved the opportunity to play so many wonderful games.

Thank YOU and everyone involved for making my first show such a memorable experience!  I am still amazed and my fingertips are still sore.  :D

Marcel, You should not need to apologize, It was out of your control.

Apology is not needed, things happen and you did all you could. Ape was awesome and all of us had a great time. Thank you and Dilayla for all your hard work in putting on the biggest and best APE ever.

Absolutely no apology needed.   It's not like anyone involved in running the show or the location went in with the plan of having the A/C fail.  If it had happened in previous shows and was a trend, them maybe it's an issue, but otherwise I see no problem and appreciate the efforts to help by getting as much ventilation as possible.

Apologies not necessary at all.  It was ok until that one game popped a cap or something, then I was like "who's making soup?"  ;D

No worries, dude. APE was off the chain! You pulled off a great show once again. The selection was stellar and I thoroughly enjoyed myself, AC problems be damned.

I actually felt bad for you Marcel. 

I posted in another thread how nice the layout was and how great the games were.

Thanks again!!
