Who all is going to Sakura-Con?

[Vlad G Pohnert]

unfortunately I again wont be driving to Sakura-Con, but I will still be there
3 weeks out and my car was hit by a Drunk driver, but I will still be there (details in my journal)

You better be there!

a lot of it is the context being used
some we are finding funny, and have just been going after the ones that involve derogatory terms and hateful content

That's rather arbitrary (perhaps illegal?) use of DMCA notices - very counterproductive to remix culture arguments that need all their supporters to hold a hard line nowadays.

Sakura con is a shitty place to go for anime fans and I recommend no one give them business.

I just typed a sentence of inane BS with no justifications and I will state that I have never been to Sakura con. Are you going to take this forum post as a serious threat and request it be deleted because it may be paint Sakura con in a bad light?

While I can understand wishing to control intellectual property I cannot condone take down actions of parodies if your sole operating premise is roughly "we didn't like what they said"

I have no desire to attend Sakura-Con.

I'm not going, but GIRUGAMESH! is going?

I don't think I'll ever go.

ever.

well, anyways, political crap asside, all the programming for the AMV room is done!! Got a lot of cool title cards and videos in between worked out to further enhanse the experience..
Should be a LOT of fun!

See everyone there in less then two weeks (I got Tekkoshocon next week)

I personally don't care a fig about "Girugameshgate", so hubby and I will still be there.

Lots more important stuff to worry about, imo...

You know... all this GIRUGAMESH talk has giving me an idea for a short clip, like the ones they had in AMV Hell 4 where they parody "Dear Sister" from SNL.

Have some anime character say "Girugamesh" only to get shot right after. Cue music..."mmm What You say..."

Gold. Pure and simple gold. Then the joke would be getting "killed" so to speak.

I'm more inclined to let this brouhaha die, rather than feed into it---I've not been watching any of the remixes, parodies, etc. I think it would behoove everybody to let it fade into the twilight, imo.

Also, that joke's been kind of played out to death, no pun intended...

I went for the 4th time this year. I had a good time but the waiting to preregistration line was SUPER long. OMG over two hours of waiting was killing my back. Dang... next year I am taking a freakin chair.
