Guess I can't make it this year.

I would love to check out the screening, but since I have an entry in the contest, I have a bit of a conflict of interest in that regard....lol.

I believe most of the people who go have a video entered, or at least many of them. With over 130 entries and plenty of voters, it's not like one person's rating will carry their video into the finals. I'm going and I entered a video this time around, same with nightmistress.

hmmmm....If that's the case, I'd love to come if there is space available. Anyone know how long the drive is from Baltimore to KOP, PA?

Another question.

I am a complete n00b to AMV's, so would that be an issue with regards to attending and voting?

I've only edited one AMV so far, but I work as a video editor in my day job and would be able to bring some critique experience for voting/evaluating. Does the gang mind letting an AMV n00b into the mix? If not, I completely understand.

I can't answer about experience for voting, but I don't think that'd be an issue. Depending on where you are in Baltimore, it'll probably be in the ballpark of 2 hours. Also note that you'll have a toll going across the bridge on 95 going up (but it's free coming back). There might be a second toll booth going into Delaware as well, I can't remember for sure from last year.

Oh cool! Another Marylander making their way up it seems 8-) . Yeah, from Baltimore it should be only a couple of hours.

2 hours isn't too bad. Plus I have an EZ Pass. :)

I'll send dji a message then and see what he says.

I got your PM, I responded.

Without traffic, you're looking at about 90 mins. With traffic you're looking about 2 hours. Keep in mind if you use 95 there are tolls.

If you attend, we expect you to rate the videos. We'll explain Saturday. Bring a pen.
