Congratulations, you have discovered that putting on a concert is like making sausage. Now that you've done one, you are now a hardened veteran. Another plus, you will love the movie Spinal Tap. Only thing missing from your concert was a miniature stonehenge.

At the critique A-kon panels, one of the messages the chairwoman says over and over is that bands are professionals. They come at a certian time, they perform at a certain time, they finish at a certain time. Cosplay contest had to be cut in order to accomodate the musical acts.

The fans were complaining about not being fed or hydrated while waiting a line that THEY formed? i didn't understand that.What was the line for? If they were waiting for the concert, it was up to somebody to tell them to break up the line. Food nothing can be done about. Water, I don't know what to do. I would love to set up water stations, but if this line was outside, it'd be difficult to set up water ( ... )

LOL SAUSAGE

Yeah, i did find out that bands are professionals. Although the PA/sound guy told me that they're "high maintenance"... >.>;;;;

Fans formed a line from the night before the live concert so that they can get in a get a good spot. i think that was broken up, but kids were just hovering around the area until it was closer to concert time. Do you think it's the convention's responsibility to have water stations, though? Kids should know that it's hot and exhausting to wait outside in the sun dressed in thick, black clothing. For 5 hours. i carry around a water bottle with me because i know i need to stay hydrated. Or else i'll just go without and tough it out.

Crying isn't fun, but lashing out is no fun either. =(
At least with crying, i get to release a lot of the stress. If i were to get angry, i think i'd further my stress. ^^;;;

Fans were complaining about not being fed??? Uh... what kind of concert feeds its fans in the first place?!?!? Or did they just mean they had gotten in line and hadn't eaten? Because if that's it, TOUGH TITTY.

And LOLZ at the girls getting autographs when they didn't actually know whether or not the performer was famous. How retarded of a story would that be? Why bother??? Idiots. lol

Oh, and this is unrelated, but here's a cute picture of Klan. XD

Hey Aimi, it's Daisy. Do you mind if I add you to my friends list? Not only do I think you're awesome, but I'm going to post some tutorial-ish stuff for our costumes since I'll probably be the first to finish (since I have my fabric first) and it was my vision with Katie's guidance that selected the materials, so I can help if needed.

Hi Daisy! ^.^
i've added you right back! And tutorials would be WONDERFUL, as time is getting really tight and i don't think i'll have time to figure things out for myself. ^^;;;;;;;; (Still want to work on 2 other costumes besides Morning Musume...)
