This was my 8th otakon and first year competing in the HCC. My only request, which is something that was requested during closing ceremonies in regards to Masq, is that we get feedback from the judges as to what exactly they are looking for and where they took or added points. I personally would like to know this so if I choose to do something contrary to what they are looking for I can better explain why I did what I did. It is hard to grow in an art without feedback. I was an English major and the professors that were brutally honest with my work caused me to do better the

(I have no clue if I am using the 'quotes' right so my apologies if they don't come out) See I would have to disagree with you on it being fair or not and I haven't clue as to why someone would wait to reg. Unless they don't have computer access, but then how are they checking up on everything? And pre reg for an even would restrict you to getting there as the con starts. You pre reg.. you get group B. You're in group B. Stickers or what not can be with someone else for when all the reging is done. And if you want to be the idiot sitting by the door you can go sit on the group

I did mention that I didn't mind the pre reg line. So I am not including that in my argument and I was not saying to get rid of the badge choice, just do it a little differently. I have to admit my concert attending has been close to nil (I can remember being at one that was held in the convention center, not at the arena) And the camping IS the biggest problem. It clogs areas and makes for an over all hazard. 'tickets' was meant to be used in the loosest sense of the word. It could be you are in group 1-200 you get the first 200 chairs to choose from, etc. Another though

((I didn't really see anything else about this, so my apologies if it a duplicate thread)) Having attended Otakon since 2002 (not as long as some, but long enough to see the con size almost double) I have gotten more and more frusterated with the 'lines' and the way they are handled. My question, why don't we 'pre reg' those events. You get 'something' that designates that you have a seat reserved (perhaps even actual reserved seating much like you would have if you went to a broadway show). Anyone who doesn't have a tag/ticket has to wait until the auditorium is filled to see if th

I just reserved a room at the Holiday Inn. I was able to get one room with two doubles. She did mention that there was still a king (or king's) left at the Otakon rate.
