This summed up a lot of my frustrations with the museum. Still had a pretty good time, the workshops were cool, and the arcade floor was fun. But it felt like such a missed opportunity.

Might be biting off more than I can chew creatively at the moment, but I figure that it’s all lowish stakes. Hopefully threading the needle between motivating me to do follow through, and not ruining anything if I don’t.
