I doubt that. I think those people who were at the Westin were allowed there because they weren't 'affiliated' with Tekkoshocon by their reservations (i.e. Hotel Blocks, and Tekko VII actually had part of the con hosted on site)

If it does turn out to be a sign of changing opinions, though, that would be wonderful, but I don't really know how forgiving these places are about various bits of dickery =/

One problem I'm aware of myself has to do with our complacency for a repeat audience. While it was clear that some of the new attendees at our panel were still having fun and enjoying the joking around, I sort of take it for granted that the general setup and basic rules we've used in the past are more or less 'known' by everyone. This is turning out to be approaching 'hubris' level thinking, and I'll be sure to take the time to make actual introductory things again, for the benefit and fun of everyone.

I also heard some suggestions for how to better keep track of scoring for the benefit of the audience as well as myself if matchups end up going to a decision, so that basic issue will be covered ^^

And, for the sake of both the panel and the general number of people who utilize it for communication, I caved. I have a Twitter account now. If you don't want to write up emails, can't find me on facebook, or can't catch me on YIM, please direct your 140 characters to @BrianTheFuzzy. I read every single thing that has my name on it, I promise

Suggestions: please give us them! If we can't make the matchup work as it is, at the very least it lets us know who we can put in the main event tournament

Take it on the road? Okay...what other cons are you guys going to? Can I room with you?

This is the reason why I, as a long-time attendee and panelist, didn't mind so much about the more sparing compensation for my pre-reg

*Groan* I should make myself a giant Rei shirt to wear next year at this rate. Thanks for saying so about the improvs, I'm glad you had fun

Speaking as a long-time panelist, and one who's very conscious of my own lack of quality this year, I won't waste time making excuses for particular shortcomings. However, I don't see a need for a staffer to play Roger Ebert to every piece of programming on the schedule. In all honesty, I welcome feedback to the events that I ran and took part of (Anime Fight Club and Tekko Improv this year), and I'll bet many of the other panelists would too. Please, give us your critique, give us all of your constructive criticism you can with how we did things this year. That helps us do better the next time around =)
