Good luck to everyone who made the finals! Looking forward to another great show.
Bryan, you really put a lot into making these contest fun for everyone. I sincerely hope you continue to do these shows at AMA for a long long time.
See you atthecon.

good luck to all finalists.

I'll try to sit in, but just in the audience. We will be killing werewolves by night and counting down the ten funniest AMVs of all time by day! http://www.animemidatlantic.com/downloads/AMA9Schedule.pdf Oh yeah, and watching another great AMV contest!Gene Starwind 21122 wrote:If you want to come to our amv Panels this year and sit in on them I could use some help there. I think we have all the contest stuff covered. Hopefully you'll enjoy this year's contest.

I will also beta-test AMV Salad 3 before it premieres at Otakon next month and take any potential volunteers to contribute to AMV Salad 4 beginning July 20.
This year we had a theme: Commercials and Trailers. The entire main section of the video is fashioned after a half-hour programming slot on [adult swim].
Hey, Brian...need any assistance at all this year with anything?

Also I'm sure if Bryan needed your assistance he'd tell us on the forums as an entirely new topic "Need New Staff!" on the forums.
