We originally got a reply from <a href="https://les-amarres.org/"><i>Les Amarres</i></a> on <i>April 4th</i>, so we were in communication with both them and <i>Spot 13</i> in parallel, but we only got confirmation they&rsquo;d be available on <i>April 15th</i>. They let us hold the event in their venue for free, so accepting immediately was a no-brainer.

Looking critically, behind the scenes&#x2014;and to some extend unfortunately also on the stage&#x2014;this was an organisational mess. Some of this definitely could&rsquo;ve been prevented &#x2013; Apt and I take full responsibility for the original error of failing to secure a venue in time. Other hecticness in the planning wasn&rsquo;t really preventable&#x2014;there&rsquo;s a reason this post opens with a description of our schedule&#x2014;but will be avoided in the future. It was a learning experience for sure.
