The reason the cosplay contest had fewer entries is because it was capped the number who could enter this year (so the judges would have time to review every costume in prejudging).

Just found out. I never got a chance to thank you personally for lending me your copy of SC2. Thanks a bunch

Not a problem. No Brand Con works because everyone pitches in where they can. :)

Oh and in case Trae gets a chance to read this I would like to explain that I actually had a really great time at the convention overall. It was one of the top ones as far as amazing hang out time with friends and I thought that Happy Wed. was hilarious. Yes, we were disgruntled about the lack of our leading staff, and bitter about some of the changes made but overall it's still far and wide the most fun I have every year. Why else would we travel such a distance? Just wanted to clear that up. :)

VG:I concur about the Video Game room. They really needed to get their shit together. While it is great that they have all the music games, they REALLY need to put that shit in another room. You weren't there when I tried to shout as loud as I could to get people to play their matches for SC2, and I believe that most of the staff didn't even know it was starting (minus Cheesy of course). Had I actually had access to the mic beforehand, SC2 would've been much better. For the CvS2 tourney, I had some pretty cool random dude help me get the mic working since none of the VG staff didn't know what to do. The guy watching the Halo tourney didn't help cuz he was too busy with Halo 2, and when he tried to contact other people via walkie talkie to help me out, no one was on that line. They need to work on communication because I find it ironic that they have communication devices and yet, no one is on. Maybe I'm being too harsh on them. I dunno. I also didn't like the fact that they re-did the sign-up sheets for SSBM because people wanted ( ... )

"It was cool that there were circles formed for several people to jump in and show their moves except the one dude with glasses who failed miserably."

Seriously, a year doesn't go by without someone telling me why the costume contest was a disaster. The problem is you have to judge every costume prior to the contest, and that means limited judging slots. If we don't do prejudging, 90% of the experienced contestants talk about how our con's contest is an unprofessional joke. Could someone please explain to me what the heck we're supposed to be doing? You know I love you Anne, but seriously -- there's a point where I sometimes wonder why we bother trying to make anyone happy at all with that. At least no one went off at me about it in person this year like the year I was a judge ( ... )
