Yeah, I was passed the torch this weekend.
The show this year was quite good as a lot of tough choices had to be made.
This includes TWO tiebreakers by audience response!
In my opinion there were a few surprises but nothing earth-shattering.
That is to say except for one thing which I'll get to a bit later.

Allow this to be my first action in the new position.
May I have the envelope please...

* The thing I was gonna mention before: I was informed there were 15 Best in Show write-in votes for my comedy category bumper (this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dma1oL8W4nE). The only difference is the titles read "Katsucon 2011 Comedy AMVs" instead of "Godot Special Roast #72." Weird/
Those of you who weren't present to collect your awards will have them shipped to you within the next two weeks. I must speak with Katsucon treasury about what's in the department budget for shipping expenses. I'll keep you all updated.
Congratulations to all the winners and I look forward to seeing you all (and hopefully more) on board for the Katsucon 18 AMV contest! I'm already making plans...
