Just bring the tape with you. There isn't much time between now and then, and I rather you walk it in, then count on a speedy Mail service.
The earlier you bring the tape in, the better chance it has of being shown when there is time between things.
Most anime episodes are 20 min long even with credits. So I have apx. 20 min (rounded down to 10-15) most hours to show filler.
I don't know how well the room will do. We are very limited on what we can show. Due to the convention wanting to be 'family-oriented'. Having worked the convention for years, the people most likely in the theater will be younger kids around the age of 12. (Their parents usually ditch them in the computer room. So now they can be ditched in the video room instead.) Most older people are playing the various games during the day. Later in the evening we will get to show more 'Adult' anime.
I've also kept the anime rather tame because it's the first time doing this, and we don't want to scare the parents right away. After the first year thing will become more flexable. Oh so your videos need to be Children Safe. Atleast for audiences 16 and under. So no Perfect Blue videos please.
I still think it's neat that we will be showing 'This is Otakudom' at the convention. Which will be it's West coast Debute! So I recommend people come out to the convention to see it. It's currently tenatively scheduled for the Afternoon-Late Afternoon on Saturday.
