I'm actually really surprised no one did this sooner. I also wish they had posted revenue figures for the two days.

To other people doing this in the future: bring (or order) a fat battery pack with an AC outlet for $100 so you don't have to keep swapping laptops and can use a mobile hotspot all day.

It looks like they did have these. In one of their pictures there was a stack of Anker PowerHouse power banks/battery packs.

Yeah the two batteries we lugged down to AX ended up saving the day a couple of times!

If you can find a car charger for your laptop you will get much longer battery life as you don't have to do DC AC DC

And never count on someone else's network working properly.

And never count on wireless, period. In the end it looks like they were relying on their printer(!) as an AP...
