Not I AX has significantly gotten worse. I've 
been faithfully sticking by AX since 95 and I 
must say quite a few of the seasonsed 
volunteers/staff are getting pissed at the poor 
management decisions. Also, the last minute 
changes to panels, lottery system for signings 
and the extremely poor crowd control is MORE than 
enough to stop myself and most of my friends from 
ever returning. Honestly, if you have doubts (or 
if this is your first and you wonder what to 
expect) ask around for the cons as well as the 
pros. I cannot stress enough ask regulars such as 
Brian Martinez, Young Kim and Francis Fung aka 
Professor Atomo.
