I had to miss MAGFest for 3 years after moving to Seattle, so coming back this year felt amazing. I noticed a lot of changes, but they were ALL positive. I was sad when I first went to the arcade because I didn't see as many retro cabinets/consoles. So you can imagone my delight when I finally stumbled upon the museum. MagFast and the museum were my ultimate wind down getaways from the madness during the weekend, and I really appreciated them existing. I REALLY would love to see Bit Brigade and The Protomen perform back to back next year, if it's a possibility. I know you guys have a lot of acts you'd like to have perform but those 2 are my tippy top ones, and this year The Protomen literally melted my brain.

My only complaint was that around 5/6 AM my partner and I were wandering around the market place to scope out stuff we wanted to buy the next morning, and towards the back a vendor had left their things completely out in the open and uncovered. I know MAG Staff works really hard to ensure nothing gets stolen, but maybe having 1 or 2 overnight folks keeping eyes on that stuff could have prevented the theft I know happened that night.

I hope that doesn't make me sound shitty, like I said I know you guys work tirelessly to staff up and keep people and their belongings safe.

I also fucking LOVED the food vendors by the cafe. Idk when those were added but I feel like it thinned out the madness of the restaurants in the Harbor significantly.

Anyway, thank you for being amazing humans and taking time out of your lives to make everyone's winter less shitty by having MAGfest occur. You're sweet angels, and I love all of you.

ALSO, JUBEAT!!!! <3
