Hopefully, we (in AMV dept.) won't be required to do anything major for Masq, unless we're handing out awards for halftime. I have a con virgin and, as excited as she's been about attending this one, she'd have a joygasm to be able to bypass the Masq line.Gene Starwind 21122 wrote:Now I can't say what the special prize/ award is. I'll have to check to see if the editors can bring a friend to sit with them. Just seating wise I have to check with main events.

LOL...awww, sorry about that. Ignore my amusement but jury duty was the capper (or cRapper, in this case). You can say that Katsucon itself has been plagued with setbacks and difficulty this year but we're soldiering onward with this and we'll be ready for K-17. You will be as well, yes?Parodic Productions wrote:Well, I have good news and bad news.
The good news is: there's an extra room now available at the hotel.
The bad news is: it's mine. I'm out.
This weather is just kicking my ass this week. It's like God's message telling me not to go. So I cancelled my reservation. Maybe now it will all clear up.
This sucks. I was really looking forward to going this year. Every year, I plan to go to this damn event, and every year I cancel because I don't have the time. This year, I do everything to ensure I come this year, and I get this.
Oh well. It's not like I submitted something this year. Messed that plan up as well. And I never received my costume in time. 2010 just isn't my year. Now I gotta look forward to my first jury duty in March.
Hope you all enjoy your weekend.

Good luck and stay safe...I'm not fighting the storm to get there...lolGene Starwind 21122 wrote:Thank goodness for SUV's. I may be able to get down to the convention afterall. Would be bad if the coordinator couldn't get there with the contest. I'm snowed in here in Baltimore. I'll try to dig myself out later tonight or early tomorrow. Test the roads out to see how bad they are and if I can get to the major highways without killing myself.
