Sure, I'll send a pre-recorded version of myself... Maybe I'll include myself in my AMV project (gotta love After Effects)...

Y'know, we've been through this before and it really continues to sicken me each time I see it.

You're entitled to your opinion, however untrue, and I'll likely never successfully convince you otherwise. However, your comment is a spit in the face and stab in the heart to every AX volunteer and staffer who puts this convention on with specifically the fans in mind.

But... let's turn the conversation on its ear, shall we? What specifically is it that makes you feel that Anime Expo is fan unfriendly? Please give me some specific instances where you felt Anime Expo was a turn off to fans. As for commercialized, please tell me how you came to this conclusion, while considering that every convention has a corporate presence of some kind. Anime Expo has a larger presence than most simply because some of the Japanese companies are there as well. Maybe I'm crazy, but I'd consider that a good thing. Why are you convinced otherwise?

There are two facts that I will give you though.
Fact One: Anime Expo is nothing without fans. If the fans aren't happy, then there can be no Anime Expo because people won't attend.
Fact Two: A large reason why people come to Anime Expo is because of the benefit of meeting people in the industry from both sides of the ocean. Without their presence, there is little attraction to Anime Expo. It'd just be a convention with fansubs and cosplay panels, which would be a waste of time since I already see that at my local anime club once a month.

So. I'm calling you to back up your words here.

Why Troy? Why? That's like calling Hitler back from teh grave to explain why he attacked Poland. Sure you might get a decent explanation out of it...but do you really want him back?
