I'm conflicted between laughing at them or crying for them cause they've likely lost a LOT of money.

You mean the ones selling the live-action Sailor Moon DVDs, fronted by a blonde who looks like...well I don't want to say anything libellous, so I'll just say "past her prime"? They seem to be at quite a few conventions...
I was actually looking specifically for Sailor Moon R DVDs, but there was a distinct lack of Sailor Moon stuff. I would have bought Petite Cosette, but Princess Tutu was five bucks cheaper so I got that.
The AMV screening room had like, 20 or so people in it, tops.The con was very unattended, which is weird, because I thought it was advertised enough.
I doubt there will be a Con no Debacle the Second...

Rip off.
Unprofessional.
Unethical.
Truly, it lived up to its name.

Agreed, dispite being unorganized and horribly failing their tiny little AMV comp put CN to shame as far as technical and presentation aspects... not to mention actually delivering on the prizes.
