My main takeaways from @revisionparty as someone who has to travel from the other f’n side of the world (NZ):

⁃ I booked a night at an frankfurt airport hotel on the way there and back - this was _massively_ helpful
⁃ Previously I’d stayed at Hotel Crystal which is very nice, but they don’t have someone on the front desk for most of the day (!). I’d show up at 2pm and I couldn’t even get into the place (not fun after long flights) for hours. While the breakfast is good, they don’t really lean into the bar or food thing.
⁃ I stayed at Premier Inn City Congresshalle this time and my experience was 100x better (24hr lobby staff, they have a snack/drink kiosk open 24hrs, and the bar is serving to 2am incl over Easter)
⁃ Being somewhere more “central” meant it was much easier to get to shops (for groceries etc) and convenience stores (which were open over Easter). And the area felt more “alive” to me. (1/2)

⁃ While it was about 30 mins walk from e-werk I just took a cab… costs can add up of course, but man, it was so much easier (use both FreeNow and Uber - I prefer FreeNow but I found their drivers can be flakey about showing up on a couple of occasions)
⁃ Get to e-werk soon after doors open on Friday (12-12:30pm), find a spot and make it yours. In future I will take a hoodie or something to put on my chair because certain people (*cough* the people dressed up as fractals) will steal your chair. Repeatedly.
⁃ Avoid steel (scener) as he’s a PITA
⁃ If you can do the shuttle buses to/from FRA then it’s a better option than trusting the German rail system
⁃ Talk to folk around you - they share your passion/weirdness. I randomly met a bunch of amazing people.
⁃ Dance.
