Sorry I couldn't hang out longer but here's what I remember...

Machine: Cool guy who dresses up well and carries a camera.

Vlad: Very wise and informative, he and I chatted about after effects a bit.

Eric Kobet: Very nice guy who I had the greatest honor of meeting. A bit nervous but he's still cool.

Anneke: Nice person who's a yaoi fangirl

Julie: Nice person who reminded me to pick up her vcd

Brad: Looks like he came back from Bowling. Nice guy.

Troy: Wacky guy....

Peter Stoll: Shook hands with him.

Tim Park: Saw him occasionally around the convention center and dealers room but didn't meet him since he looked kinda busy.

TommyRude: Looking at his size, he could clobber Ermac... wish I got to talk to him.

Wired Knight: Cool guy with long hair.

Charles Bethel: Cool guy who talked with me and EvilVegettoZ at the contest.

People at table 3 gave me a "Who the hell are you?" look.

I've read a lot of posts all over saying how bad AX was. I read that there was no AMV contest, but other than that, why'd it suck so much?

To make a long story short (has been discussed to death on the AMV yahoo dicussion group), the Music video contest was not shown on Friday night to a full crowd as scheduled due to rendering problems. This seamed to occur Becasue of the late deadline and the organizers wearing lots of hats. The contest was shown at 8:00 am on Saturday and still had a lot of technical problems.

In the end, the AMV coordinators appoligized but it still left a lot of people upset. They did however promise to totaly overhall the contest and hopefully it will be back and much better next year...

A cold in hell when that will happen

I heard the Anaheim Convention Center is 5x bigger than Long Beach and AX was only held in Long Beach for 2 years because the Anaheim Convention Center was under renovation.

Hopefully this means there's a slight possibility of extra *COUGH*video rooms for you know...*COUGH*....
