I can't answer about experience for voting, but I don't think that'd be an issue. Depending on where you are in Baltimore, it'll probably be in the ballpark of 2 hours. Also note that you'll have a toll going across the bridge on 95 going up (but it's free coming back). There might be a second toll booth going into Delaware as well, I can't remember for sure from last year.sallen3k wrote:hmmmm....If that's the case, I'd love to come if there is space available. Anyone know how long the drive is from Baltimore to KOP, PA?
Another question.
I am a complete n00b to AMV's, so would that be an issue with regards to attending and voting?
I've only edited one AMV so far, but I work as a video editor in my day job and would be able to bring some critique experience for voting/evaluating. Does the gang mind letting an AMV n00b into the mix? If not, I completely understand.

With over 130 entries and plenty of voters, it's not like one person's rating will carry their video into the finals. I'm going and I entered a video this time around, same with nightmistress.

2 hours isn't too bad. Plus I have an EZ Pass.phoenixblood wrote: I can't answer about experience for voting, but I don't think that'd be an issue.

Without traffic, you're looking at about 90 mins. With traffic you're looking about 2 hours. Keep in mind if you use 95 there are tolls.
If you attend, we expect you to rate the videos. We'll explain Saturday. Bring a pen.

When that's the case, we ask you to do the honorable thing, and not rate for your video.sallen3k wrote:I would love to check out the screening, but since I have an entry in the contest, I have a bit of a conflict of interest in that regard....lol.
