- 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?)
