The long and the short of it is that I've come up short on how much people were paying for dinner by at least a hundred dollars that a number of us had to try and compensate for. One time people were leaving or showing up without paying and last year, mostly due to reg hell, a lot of people didn't show up and we still had to pay a cover fee for the restaurant anyway.

This has been baffeling me since we didn't have any problems the first year I did this at the Rock Bottom in Long Beach.

I plan on going to Anime Expo, as always. This would be #8 for me.

Idea on dinner if there are problems coming up short: How about Hometown Buffet? I know it's not as classy as other places, but that way everyone pays the same price to get in. We can all eat as much as we want. Or some other buffet type place.

The problem with Hometown Buffet is that there is an extremely long line everytime I visit one, so that means there's going to be a very long waiting time to get a seat, especially if there is a large group.

I know members of Cosplay.com's forum are debating whether to go to Denny's or Hooter's for a cosplay dinner gathering, but I'm going to take a wild guess and say that no one here likes Denny's.

Well, there's always the idea of a potluck if there is a nearby park or something.

In anaheim there isn't really a nearby park, we'd have to go well out of our way and if you don't know where you're going in that city it becomes very easy to get lost. What I'm looking into is Roundtable pizza since there is one nearby and I'm relatively certain that they can accomodate for decently sized parties.

I'm still waiting also for some sort of confirmation (e-mail and/or postal), and I pre-registered back in December. I sent an e-mail to the registration dept. Sunday and they still haven't responded back yet. :evil:

Well judging from the fact that that just went up I'd say we can expect the rules any day now. Nice that the ceremony does't directly block the last day opening of the dealer room this time. Though I'll have to time when I show up since they don't announce winners till the end and it's just video replay till then.

During the ceremony they just play all the videos again (basically it's a contest replay for those who didn't get in during the contest itself) and after all the videos are shown then they announce the awards for all the catagories. The thing is that if you don't want to see all the videos again you have to just time when to come back roughly so you don't miss the awards.
