  • Fun and friendly hosts, great for newer HHN fans too

    I’m new to HHN and decided to go all in on the research to prepare myself for the event. The hosts are here to have fun and help everyone else have fun too. No gate keeping of info, no annoying elite-pass holder or hhn-vet attitude, just all good vibes.
