Yeah I think most people who paid by mail had a problem with it being processed. I think someone simply forgot to process certain batches into the computer. Not fun.

Actually I think there were times where the problem line wait was nearly as long as it was just to go through the regular line (whcih these people had to go through anyways just to register)

Man this sucks Anime Evolution and Otakon on the same weekend. This is going to mess up somethings this year. At least if anyone submits videos to both cons they can't be disqualifed for being a troll since they are shown on the same weekend.

There goes my cunning going-to-Otakon plan :(

Well, this isn't too bad. We did need a cap, although it was fun to see Otakon grow and grow and grow by a lot of people each year.

But two weeks LATER...ugh. I have to get ready for college and everything, and I don't want to EVER miss an Otakon. But...I'll make it, just like I do every year.

Caps aren't so bad

Actually, it's better to have a cap than an understaffed madhouse (mad-der house?). And for those of us travelling from the Midwest to get there, pre-registration is pretty much a given. Taking Friday and Monday as vacation days for travel and then not getting in would be horrible.

I'll be attending this year. I already requested work off. lol Anyway it'll be my fourth year in a row and hopefully I'll be able to help out with the amv pannel again this year. It was a lot of fun with Vic and ANTDrakko. I'll probably will have a new amv this year for Otakon. Well I can't wait Otakon is 250 days away. Seems like an eternity.

I met someone at the con who said he knew Hitori (Fire something?), I wonder, has he shown up here?

the postponed date might work in my favor, as i'll probably be finished with whatever summer job i might find by then.

otakon does seem like a long ways off, yet i'm going to have to rush to meet the contest deadline.
