If only AX's ballots provided that level of comedy.

I still have my crayon!

Katsucon: there are no words.... About the paper air plane... me and my freind that went to AX 2003 were wondering about that when it was mentioned during the opening of the AMV contest....

The crayon... hehe.. well AX did do the... "well this number 5 is actually numer 7 and number 6 is actually number five..." but they got the names right.

remember a guy yelling out "How about the cieling? " when we were told not to write on the chairs, the walls, ect...

good times!

I remember that ballot, Victor showed it to me after Katsucon....

I didn't know that some Cons had such un-educated staff members

I'm no tech master, but I still can't even fathom how this was a problem. Don't most contest coordinators finish this stuff AHEAD of time before the convention? I understand if they were under-staffed, but compiling an AMV contest is work you do behind-the-scenes long before the hour of the contest AT the con... :/

Yeah, they probably should. This year they had all of the entry finals on a DVD so it was just menu selection. AX02 what I understand is that they attempted to load all of the entries on a computer, as a continious video. The end result was the video would go forward a frame and then back about 6 frames.

Yeah, there are always problems with ballots, I guess.

This guy is only going to be a volunteer. Believe me, volunteers have nothing to do with the tech or the ballot aspects. It's something we are not involved with. We just show up when the con starts and then do what the staffers say. Griping about such things on this thread doesn't help this guy deal with crowds as a volunteer.

More advice I forgot to mention: Always have a supply of water accesible to you. Whether it be carried or where you can walk to a water fountain.

Oh, I almost forgot. You do know staffing or volunteering for Anime Expo disqualifies you from entering any of contests as a contestant? Like The AMV contest and the cosplay. Another reason why I don't staff or volunteer anyomore. Just making sure.
