Who's MT?  Looking at the previous expos, con, et al, it seems that GoH's
cancelling out is a common occurance.  Changing workschedules and such.
Let's see, Matsumoto cancelled for AC '91...Did anyone cancel for '92? It
was too long ago...and Go Nagai already cancelled for next year.  Not an
issue, I think.

Yes, I think running two cons within artillery-barrage distance one week
apart is pretty damn stupid too.

(fan feud political commentary mode on)
But remember that AX '93 was scheduled for July 4th since the last con.  In
steps AnAm, who graciously decide to hold their con one week before AX '93.
Who's in the wrong here?  What do you want people to do?  Hire a psychic
next time so Expo can schedule the con so AnAm doesn't appear a week
before, even though no one knew when AnAm was going to schedule their con?
(fan feud political commentary mode off)

Maybe I'm just small fry too, but I'm also original staff and I didn't walk.
There are still original staff left.  Or are you implying that the
remaining staff are unable to put on AX'93?

For the impoverished, there is the BART system.  Besides, compared to the
money spent in the pesky dealer's room last year...parking fees are mere
*pocket change*  Also for those fans who are flying in...the parking fees
is a non-issue, they can just BART all over the Bay Area.

Any particularly gruesome crime you would want to describe for the rest of
us who have been to PARC Oakland and made it back alive?
 
>.  I like to see more cons but not like this AA'93 will be one of the best
>one's AC'91 had if flaws and so did AE'92 but this is getting out of hand

I'd like to see a bunch o' anime cons...showing the Japanese that there is
a market to sell anime...thusly bringin the price down for anime goods.
(There is supposed to be a period between 'this' and 'AA93' right?)

You never know...

So what's your point?  (gee, long post, huh?)

Yeah, so have I...depressing isn't it...ah those simple days of old...

Quality not quantity, I think... ^_^;
