-
- At big conventions (I am going to use Minicon as my example) I personally
- like being
- able to have a choice of 1) standing in the long line and hoping to get a
- seat where
- I can take pictures or 2) going up to my room and starting the room party a
- little early
- while watching the masquerade "from the front row" in the comfort of my room.
- Translation:
- I like it when con-com (or a fan) decides to film the masquerade and the
- hotel allows them
- to broadcast it in-house.
-
- Another thing I like is for a white wall to be put up so amateur (thats me)
- photographers
- have a chance to get the shots that only the pros get.
