I hard to worm my way through the backstreets of the financial district during the tail end of rush hour traffic. Parking at the suggested lot cost me $20. Once I arrived there wasn't enough space for, what seemed to me, a light attendance. A good post-mort location is comprised of a number of elements: - free to hold our meeting there - convenient to public transportation - convenient to driving - large enough to actually hold a large number of attendees - has decently priced food - serves beer For my money, The Skellig serves our needs better. If we can find a more Boston-centric venue, that fulfills more of our needs; I'd love to attend but I don't see myself revisiting the new location. Thanks for your efforts in trying to make the postmortem meetings more interesting and accessible. My experience with the new venue was awful.

It brought out people I have not seen at Post Mortem before, which was a definite plus. I thought it brought some more students, and it will hopefully attract more people from metro Boston game studios to come on out. I thought the new location in Boston was great.

I'm an independant developer, and it's nice to be able to collaborate with industry people, making it in a more public place will make it so the solo dev guys like me can attend and make it on time.

I don't normally go when it's in Waltham but I'll always show up if it's in Boston. I love the new location. I don’t normally go when it’s in Waltham but I’ll always show up if it’s in Boston.

However it was better for me to commute. Maybe have it at another place in Boston, that was a very small place. However it was better for me to commute.

We already have an established group of attendees who are in the industry. Bringing in a younger, newer crowd will help put these veterans connections and advice to good use! Plus its easier for many people to get to via public transportation which can save the environment!
