Since someone asked.... yes we are running it much earlier this year than last (this year, 2:00 on Sat). Con decision, not mine, but it sounds like it might work out for the better this way.

Haha! Yes, I remember that. It wasn't just Vlad- I was wondering too... And I'm sure other people were, as well.

Pah - what a hardship. Vlad got it easy - the real worry was mine (and other people in comedy or various).

See, Vlad's missing banner could have said both Best Comedy AND Best Various which would have mean't that IWIWAL hadn't won anything (I didn't think for a second that it would win Best Video and sure enough I was right). So I had to wait through the videos to see if either of the categories came up later.

Thankfully Best Comedy appeared and resolved the issue for both of us.

Now that I think back it does seem that the awards are much earlier. I recall my panel last year being at 3 (or something like that) so I think the awards last year were at 5 or something. Oh and for those who dont know they show all the expo winners and then give the awards, then show the pro winners and give the awards and then show the masters entrants and then announce the winner. Usually.

Yeah, I believe we were at 3. Also, looking at the schedule, it seems that Iron Chef is earlier this year as well. I seem to remember IC generally ending around 10 or 11, instead of at 8.

Well, that means you'll be less drunk and thus less effective at editing

True, actually I was in that bote as well since I had a video in the Various catagory as well. So I spent the whole thing wondering if I was still eligible for Best Various or if Vlad allready won it.
