I kind of want to hear this read dramatically at the IE now. Hell, I'll do it myself if Waldo will let me have the mike.

So, perhaps we should all wear some identifying clothing, pin, hair piece, face paint, symbol....something, to say we serve the Editing King.

Friday...
* AMV Overflow - 12:00PM - 2:00PM, Video1.
* AMV Contest - 5:00PM - 7:30 PM, Video1.
* Friday Night Fan Parodies - 10:00PM - 1:00AM, Video4.

You know...wishful thinking here, but there may be just enough time to count ballots from this viewing block to actually announce at Iron Editor...maybe...
Granted, though, a lot of people mull over their decisions and in the past there was a ballot box placed at the info table. Having a decision deadline within two hours after the Saturday showing seems a bit off for me...
Also, the 11:30PM end time for IE...seems a bit, erm, late...I wonder...

You might want to let them know that over in the Otakon AMVers' dinner thread in the Anime Conventions board. I don't believe that little snag has been brought up yet.Brakus wrote:Also, I didn't see a general AMV panel in the schedule; I guess no one took the initiative to submit such panel to Otakon (again) this year?
Looks like. All I see is Advisor's Ten Funniest AMVs of All Time, and a late-night AMV Hell 5 panel (presumably run by SSGWNBTD?).
We really should get organized enough to work something out for next year, even if it's just four AMVers and a host taking whatever questions the audience throws out (like in 2008 and 2004 and so on).

You mean, like the official Org badge? I would always wear mine to Otakon, with my smiling Kaoru avatar, until I stopped doing it last year (I believe), because no one else was doing it and it didn't seem right to wear it while in cosplay. Actually, even in 2003 and 2004 I was the only one doing it at Otakon.
(WHY can't I find the actual page on the site that explains the badge?)
