At the same time, I think the contest will probably be better than an AMV block and perhaps folks who don't get into the show will go.
But yeah, do your best to get Main Events next year. I'll be frank in that I think Anime Hell is not as popular as the AMV contest and we *should* get that slot at night like nearly every other con. I certainly understand the bands things since ACen seems to be getting more and more bands (to the chagrin of some of us).
Anyway, thanks for the explanation!
Somehow i doubt the 1500+ people watching Anime Hell friday night would agree ^_^. Arguably, at it's peak, there were more people at Hell than at the Pillows concert. When the hotel rep comes up to you in the middle of the show and just goes 'wow...' then it tells me that it does have a tad bit of popularity
As to the 'multiple musical groups'. well sometimes it's one of those 'if you want X, you have to take W/Y/Z kinda situation'.
