Just gotta say after going to the event for the type 1.5 portion on Sunday, it was my first "big event" since 2007 where I used to do them all the time, regionals, states, ptq's, grand prix's, those massively large pre-releases! It was awesome to be a part of one again after so long since I came back to magic in the past year after a 4 or so year hiatus, and it leaves me wanting to go back again, to pushing any large event on my corner country >^,^<
