In response I begged Jingoro to let me host the expo contest, but he said "hell no, get your own." SO I DID! Directly following this years roast will be an award show like no other.The first (and last) Pilkington Invitational awards show and batsu game!
I have taken some of my personal favorite AMVs of all time, categorized them, chosen finalists and will showcase them for all too see. I have also acquired an esteemed panel of judges who will help me decide the winners. Now, since this is me, this won't be just a regular sit down and drool type awards show. Naw, our judges will be competingin a batsu game as well. What's that? jfgi. There will be lots of things to enjoy, neat prizes, judges in searing pain, real trophies for the winners, and some audience participation. But who are the judges?
Todd aka:"Fall_Child42" - Some dirty Canadian
Rob aka: "ToothpickVic" - Some dirty Mexican
Kit aka: "Kit" -
BIG EDIT:
It seems I may a celebrity host for this event! I can't confirm yet, but things are looking good.
Stay tuned for updates
I 110% guarantee you will laugh, and probably someone will cry.
I would post a finalists list, but most have already registered for the dinner. So I guess that makes it less of an "invitational" but that name makes me sound important.
So if you want your trophy or just to derp and lol, stay after the roast for the award ceremony of the cent...... yea....... weeken..... day(?).Time: Thursday Night, Sept. 25, 2014. circa 11pm
This is open to all AMV editors attending AWA, as well as friends, fans and entourages. So spread the word.
