I had a great time visiting with everyone up in Lowell yesterday. The keg lasted longer than I thought it would, but it kicked early in the evening. It was really hot out, but finally started to cool down after some storms rolled through late in the afternoon.
It's a pretty cool venue. The teams are in a tree filled park along a river behind Tsongas arena. The rest of the festival is on the other side of the arena. So, for the most part, there was very little walk through traffic in the competition area.
Apparently there was another storm that ripped through in the overnight hours, damaging some tents and muddying up sites. No injuries though.
