well as part of the volunteering staff, i do want 
to defend the staff a little as hard as it is to 
do. The ones in the red jackets and the green 
room staffs are totally rude this year, but all 
of the volunteering staff and the lower con 
staffs put a lot of hard work into this, even 
though it was quite unorganize, there were 
problems such as it being in a new location and 
it was one of the biggest con ever that the staff 
was not prepare to deal with. 
one thing though, if you attended cons year after 
year, you would've found out never to stand in 
line for the masquerade or the music video 
contest. There is always enough room left over 
that you don't need tickets. 
as for the signing, what i thought they should've 
done was have the artist do the sketchs before 
hand. However, the lines and the number of raffle 
tickets really had nothing to do with the regular 
staff. it really depends on the GoH themselves. I 
dont think they canceled Watase's open session on 
Sunday, she didn't plan to go in the first place. 
again, thats up to the artist, not the convention 
organizers themselves. atleast as far as i 
know...i could be wrong
