Need some AMV projects for screening?

If it's in Austin, Carlos could drive them over a DVD copy of NES.

It's in October so we could also provide an RVG screener.

I really think you guys should look into getting Heroine Virtual (http://www.heroinewarrior.com) and Linux Media Arts (http://www.lmahd.com) into exhibiting.

Why? A few of the videos on this site were made with their products. If you're considering anything related to AMVs then it's not much of a stretch.

We could use all the help we can get. I'll send this all off to the heads and see what they want to formulate. I though they were crazy to suggest a video contest this late in the game, but that's the head of any fan run convention for you.

1 million thank yous!

We'll take whatever you have to offer. This is from out Con Chair:

"Tell the california guy that yes, we need AMV projects for screening. As for the other guy, I thought the Herioine Warrior guys were in
California..."

Tell me what logistical information you need and I'll get it to you.

No convention will be held in New York

What other types of AMV things are you guys looking to have at the event? Are you going to screen any type of AMVs or just projects?

And I'd be there, but it's a bit too far of a drive

Good luck with it though, it looks like a lot of fun!
