Maybe it was just me, but it seemed like the water dispensers never got refilled.  By Friday night, there were a lot of thirsty people wandering down in the direction of Video Rooms 1 and 2 looking for water instead of hentai.

We had a few snafus with water refills. Apparently they led to several people suffering dehydration. Believe it or not, they were (supposedly) being refilled three times a day, but attendees were just really thirsty. In any case, this was brought up with the facilities and they will be on top of it for next year.

This is why I made sure I carried a waterbottle around with me the whole con and refill it at the water fountain or dispensers

I second that idea!

The water didn't taste good. I only drink it because it was there and I was too lazy to walk back to my hotel to grab my water bottle. But the water dispensers in the Hilton wasn't as good but at least it was COLD!!!

In all honesty, that won't work... the convention center would never allow it.

Actually, let me rephrase that - they won't tell you to stop, but they'll tell us to stop you.

Why? They have vending machines and they don't want to share money. =-/

I always have a bottled of water with me when I'm walking around the convention center and if I'm out I could always go back to the Hotel and get another one. I buy alot bottles of water to take at the convention.

WATER IS FOR THE WEAK. D:

But, anyways, I also happened to come across that there was enough water.  I always pack a water bottle with me just like everyone else, 'cause... You never know when you'd need it.  If all comes to worst, you can go out to the Fountains in the front and... Ha ha. XD

It would be nice if there was a stand that actually cooked food.  Those prepackaged items at the stand didn't look very appetizing.

I always like to come prepare so I always buy two cases of water bottle and chilled half of those in freezer while putting the rest in the ice chest. ^__^b
