Woohoo!! Man, this one really snuck up on me. Should be fun! Looks like they are doing the same thing as last year with the schedule and whatnot. Was it a little earlier on Saturday last year? I just remember being snug in my bed when it started...and ended :P .

It's the same time slot this year as it was last year, but we're stalling as long as possible before starting in hopes that more than 3 people will wake up for it this year, and that the hotel staff will show up by then so that we don't have to hand people their own chair on the way in.

How come we can't have it the other way around? (First showing in Main on Friday, second showing in AMV room on Saturday) Another musical guest taking over Friday night?

Any possibility I can find out exactly why mine didn't get in (especially the Energy Drinks) so I can make the proper adjustments for future competition?

This is how it's been at AnimeNEXT for a good while now. Ever since they started doing Friday night concerts in Main Events, we haven't been able to get the room for an evening AMV contest screening -- it usually happens sometime in the afternoon. And then, for some reason, the Saturday showing is always first thing in the morning, at 9 or 9:30 -- in other words, perfectly positioned to ensure that the people who can only come for Saturday will not be able to get to see the contest at all!

And I keep saying every year that they could get a MUCH better crowd at the Saturday AMV contest showing if they'd just give it a better time slot. We filled the room in 2004 when it was held at more like 11 or noon, and there's no reason we couldn't have that again. I'm still waiting for some higher-up to let it happen.

Is it true that everyone who sent in an entry is getting preferred seating at the show, free pocky, red bull and vodka?

I wish that could be true. You could keep the Red Bull, let me bring my own juice for the vodka, and I'll drink my "didn't make the finals again" blues away. :cry:

AMV Contest is scheduled the way that it is because bands have riders that dictate when they get to perform, when they get to sound check, and how long they get. Believe me, I have no desire to wake up at 7:30, especially when the AMV theater closes at 4AM the "previous" morning, but bands cost lots of money, and they need to be kept happy. AMVs can fill a room, but happy bands means good press. Good press means bigger bands. Bigger bands means good press. And so it goes forever. Well-attended AMV events would only mean that I'm justified in asking for a bigger room EVERY year, and nobody likes a troublemaker ;-)

Free Pocky, Red Bull and Vodka are all a dirty lie. I can not afford Pocky, and I already drank everything else.

I suppose I'll just have to keep a can of MAXX (caffeinated flavored malt hooch) and a few pouches of Hello Panda on hand. :sweat:
