a very disappointing day for me. i got out bed, took a refreshing shower, got dressed, headed out to Boston for the con, picked up a McGriddle from Micky D's, and proceeded to Anime Boston (AB). when i got there it was about just before 11:00am; about the same time i arrived last year. back then it only took 2 hours on the registration line to get my badge w/ swag bag, and admittance to the con. this year i stood in line for almost 4 and 1/2 hours, and i was just past the half-way point of the line. i was able to get a hold of the weekend schedule and found that the AMV Drama overflow (the video room to show off all the entries that didn't make it into the contest) wasn't to be until Sunday. i left sometime around 4:30pm, and went home.
i left feeling pissed cause i was really hoping to see my video played, and i wasn't going to be around to see it. i would have stayed to watch the main event with the finalists, but most of my day was spent waiting to get registered. i wasn't going to spend $30 and enjoy only a 1/3 of the day. i spend that much time at the dealer's room alone. another thing that pissed me off was that Digital Disc was there; i was so looking forward to buying some Final Fantasy music.
i probably should have check the AB site more often, if they posted the schedule, i would have planned my weekend a little better. probably wouldn't have mattered. if i knew that the AMV Drama overflow was to held on Sunday, i still wouldn't have been able to make it.
there's always next year.
peace,
@riel
