When that's the case, we ask you to do the honorable thing, and not rate for your video.

Yeah, I didn't realize and Vic thought AnimeNext was next weekend. But it was too late, things were set in motion.

Besides, I think most would to know the final list earlier, rather than it being delayed a full week more.

I hate to say it, but it looks as though I can't make the trip up for the Pre-Screening on Saturday.

I'm going to have to work overtime, unfortunately..... :cry:

damn...I was looking forward to meeting some new friends....maybe I'll see some of you at Otakon?

Aww that's too bad :( I worked a little OT yesterday myself T_T. Are you coming to pre-reg on Thursday of the con by chance? I am trying to help coordinate a meeting/dinner that day for the editors that would like to attend. We usually eat somewhere at the harbor. There's also the Saturday dinner after iron editor. I have a thread about it here:

I have to work that Thursday until 4:30p, so any time after that is cool for me.
I'll check that Thread out.

What is Iron Editor by the way? I don't think I've heard of it before.

We are trying to schedule dinner for 7p at the earliest, so you should be okay. We try to give people a moment to get in to the city, get settled, get their badges and so on. Definitely check the thread out. The more the merrier!

I went to my first Iron Editor last year myself and it was pretty fun. Basically, two editors are pitted against each other to make a video in 2 hours. They have pre-selected series that they have to use as their sources as well as a surprise source that isn't revealed until the event. While the editors are doing that, the staff keeps us onlookers entertained by games and showing amvs. If you have a DS, pictochat is also in full swing and I highly recommend it. It's impressive to see what the editors can whip up in just 2 hours.

Ooooh, Iron Editor sounds like fun. Actually, it sounds a lot like how my normal work day goes...lol.

How do we sign up for Iron Editor? I'd love to get in on that.
