The drama I'm refering to isn't some specific act. In the Orlando anime club scene, many people have started clubs because they couldn't get along with people in other clubs, or felt slighted, or what have you. That is what I refer to as "drama".
Then there are some people seem to go out of their way to cause trouble for their own amusement. I don't appreciate that. (No, I'm again not refering to anybody in particular)
The *other* Orlando based anime convention typically has a panel on anime clubs, I don't think AFO is running one, we're typically refered to as a "tasked based organization", because Anime Gaijin America (the organization behind the convention), doesn't do anything but events. Strangely we're just a bunch of people who get off on throwing big parties for other people.
But they run that panel at a sucky time (IIRC 10am Sat), because who wants to listen to a bunch of BS history?
Did you read down this far? Hah, then I'll tell you a secret. There were *two* screwups on the announcement last year.
1) The interruption was planned. I knew it was going to happen. I don't know why Jason didn't know. I can certainly see why it would have bothered him.
2) They were only supposed to announce the cosplay winners, which would have taken a couple of minutes at most. But the MC was just told to announce the winners, and his sheet had every winner at the convention so far on it. Whupps.
All I can say is that during a convention, mistakes *will* be made. We do our best, and I promise we will never make either of those mistakes again.
