- The same here I really get to a lot of anime so I go to meet more fans
- I have made more new friend from both con than I can count ,But a lot
- of them say they will go to the con I think is doing it for the fans.

- I think you are wrong there AA is not try to be a "Vendetta"
- If you been reading the Chair of AA'93 was the one who set
- the date for AX before the walk out of staff.
- The new staff just kept the old date because they had to
- it was in the hotel contrack and I think to keep the fans
- beliveing in AX name.
-
- AA moved 2 or 3 times to help out some of the other cons plus at the time
- (I have check this again) AA had set it's date AX staff was small and
- not sure of if they we're on.
- Most of the flyer that had been sent out or give SD ComicCon we're
- done by SPJA and not the former Chair.
-
- So I think AA'93 isn't a vendettaCon It is a fan Con just as is AX
- the diffents will be in how the fans who are not on the net(and not all
- of them are) decide on the Cons.
-
-
- We are just a few, we do not live to fight a war of words
- against a wall of stupidity. But some always try.
