This year, there was a cosplay parade that completely ground the event to a halt because they just completely blocked the main walkway. Who ever thought this was a good idea deserves to be fired

sorry (as a member of the parade) you were inconvenienced. Before i was ever in the parade (1990’s) I would plan to be near events before the start time.  That might help you next time.  

I was in the hall at the start of the parade and while I was not troubled by it I was passed by several people urgently trying to find alternate paths to a restroom.

A pause every 50-75 participants or so might be a good thing in the future given that our con is growing very large.

What gets me is the need to go through the gaming halls with it.  Our learn-to-play event lost 20 minutes because we were set up right next to the path.
