Yea... we had some problems with ATX last time. We're switching things up with a completely new organizing team and venue this time around. It's not easy to throw these big hacks, so I have to be a little forgiving with our first time organizers from past. That said, we will get it right and things in Austin will be awesome like they are in most other cities.
I understand. I ran a hackathon in San Antonio this summer and problems crop up where you least expect them. Definitely not an easy task.
After attending, I don't see how AngelHack can ever be successful in its current format. It's clearly not about the hacks. It's for the sponsors who want to recruit devs and investors/judges who want to find the next big idea.
