Ahh yes the ass groove.. it makes the futon/couch so easy to fall asleep in.. it makes me want to nap just thinking about it.

I just want to point out.. I didn't make the ass groove.. that's my ex-roommates fault.. however.. Vic is right.. the ass groove is out of this world.. who needs one of those poly-pedic chairs.. when you can have an ass groove built-in your very own futon! I would make homer cry! =_)

Hi all. I'll be there once again. I'll be most likely in the back of the room and I'm the one with the blonde tips (need to redye it ><). Stop by and say "Hi!" if you'd like. I love to meet new people. I'm thinking about bringing CD's ^^

Yeah, got nothing better to do, plus I came last week, so I NEED to see all the vids to make sure the votes are even (lol, even....rrrriiiggghhhtttt, lol)

I'll also be sitting in the back. It's eazier to spot hecklers and throw stuff at them

*note to self: pring lots of throwy type things*

Oh and if I see people playing with laptops I'm gona hurt them......cause I don't got one

Oh yeah iserlohn, explain again why it is so critical that you videotape the pre-screenings??? I want everyone to here this...

Don't feel to bad thought. I was going to bring mine (but I ain't got no high tech digital camera that can do my laundry and cook my dinner like you do) so I could tape the reactions to a friends vid (assuming it is on tape 3 or 4) but decided he does not deserve that kind of "input"

PEACE!

Quick question since I know absolutely nothing about this whole process...

Are the videos that are being shown this Saturday (6/21) the same videos that were shown last Saturday (6/14), or is it a whole new batch?

Also, for those not familiar with the UMCP campus, the screening is being held in Building #88 on this map (you can click on the bldg for more info).

I've got a couple reasons. The big one was so that if anyone complains about category they can see the tape of Matt explaining how to judge by it. The other....well, you'll have to wait for that.

I've had a couple people ask me to do theirs, and if I'm feeling nice i'll turn it on and record the sound for them, but they'll have to wait until after the con (or at least until after the finalists are announced) to get their copy.

re: hecklers....I wasn't able to borrow some SCA swords, so there'll be no beating people with sticks. Darn.

According to Matt's email, we will be watching tapes 3 and 4 this week(we did 1, 2 and the individuals for 5 last week). Next week will be 5, 6, and 7. This is, of course, taking it for granted that Quu got the tapes finished and that express mail hasn't collapsed under the weight of 400,000 copies of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. (Amazon promised Saturday delivery for virtually all non-PO Box preorders. I will be pissed as hell if I get home to find mine waterlogged because of the rain.)

Whoof. Long day on the road yesterday. Long day ahead today duping tapes for at-home reviewers. Anyway....

Thanks go out to those who came to the UMCP Pre-Convention Screening yesterday to help evaluate the Otakon 2003 AMV submissions! We watched through Tapes 3 & 4 this time. Special thanks to the officers of the Terrapin Anime Society who kept the room open afterwards so we could get through Tapes 1 & 2 for the people who couldn't make it last week.

Next weekend (6/28+6/29) we should finish the up with Tapes 6, 7 & 5, in that order. Depending on timing & how many new people show up at UMCP or KOP we may do either Tape 3 or 4 again.

Now, off to start tallying up the intermediate results.

I wouild like to add to that, yesterdays pres-screenings went very nice. We had none of the problems associated with last weeks session (minus having to use Matt's deck....again).

Here is to hoping next week will be as good!

Oh yeah, did that pizza ever come?

Yeah, I agree. Props to whoever sent that mythical email that apparently reduced the heckling. The pizza never came cause it was never ordered...
