I went with my wife in 2007, we happen to go when the Sisters of EvE program was just rolling out. So some of this will be a tad dated:
The wife and I arrived at the butt crack of dawn on Thursday. We crashed and slept till about 4. She went with me to the meet and greet before fan fest started, shes rather social so actually had a decent time just talking to random people.
We went back tot he hotel and chilled, went to bed and woke up at 2am Iceland time (i'm from cali, so we were both wide awake, it kinda sucked) We chilled, got breakfast, and I went on ahead to fan fest. She relaxed in the hotel and not sure what else she did TBH. Anyway, The sisters of eve was a two day event back then, so she arrived late (as I said I have no clue what she was doing) and missed the jeeps. One of the CCP devs was kind enough to give her a ride so she could catch up. They took a tour of the lava tubes, had some of the Icelandic fish my wife said was disgusting) and some other random things. She met back up with me about an hour before fan fest was mostly done. We then went and caught the QnA sesstion, and had left with a bunch of Goons and had dinner. We met the head of Fix alliance at dinner and had a nice chat (my alliance at the time was tryint to take there space.. tee hee) Saturday we walked to Fan Fest, she had a chat with another couple on the way there (as I said she is socialable) and then while we waited for the Jeeps to take them to.. I think it was the blue lagoon, I forget, we talke to another couple who she met the wife on the day before. She went off to do her thing, and I did mine. She met with me again mid day and watched the EvE and CCP presents Key notes. Then we had dinner, watched the slient auction, and some people making modles. She went back tot he hotel and took a nap while I puttered around the last part of the Tournament. She came back and we went to the party on top of the world. We left after a few hours and slept. left on sunday. All in all she had a good time.
The sisters of eve thing is WAY worth it. It will give your SO a chance to see and do Iceland stuff for a day, I think its sat. The Key notes are interesting even for non eve players (my wife wound up ooing during the trinity upgrades shown in the key note) They usually have events like the quiz bowl, qna and other stuff that's enjoyable. You can send her to the blue lagoon all day on the non sister day. And there are tons of other things she can do. Its pretty much a once in a lifetime experience (unless you go multiple times ofc) but well worth it |
