I’m glad they came at all, really. I liked the event myself. Mayor Becker especially always gives a good speech.

But too many leaders and staff compared to volunteers and ambitious potential future leaders is a classic warning sign for organizers so I feel like I have to point it out.

Maybe it was the best they could do. I was glad to read about it in the paper, but I doubt I would have gone even if it had been held at more accommodating hour. I would expect that the room would be filled by those who are involved in politics on a daily basis.

I’d bet that most everyone who wanted to be there found a way, just like you did. I wouldn’t assume that they didn’t really want people to know about the convention since the press was invited which gave this event an even bigger audience.

Maybe you should consider being a bit less negative and focus on the positives in life.
