*rrrRRRrrrrrRRRRR*

I'm 5'6".

Chase after a girl you own age throwing lit firecrackers from Tiajuana, and I'm the 50' bitch from hell. In stocking feet, no less.

Demanding your fekkingparentsrighttheghaddamnNOWwhatthefuckareyoudoing....

And the little yard ape had the idea lying to me would work. Lighter in one hand, firecracker in the other.

Jim is letting the Mom handle it. This time. It happens again, it's a full 911 call, so help me God.

And the seven youngest showed us their birthday cake and ice cream. A birthday party. *facepalms*

Oh life is going to SUCK for them this summer with me around.

I've doing email -

I've never believed that keeping your mouth shut and walking away was the best way to rectify a situation that peeved you. You want change, you have to ask for it.

So when I read the ticket policy for Anime-Expo, I dropped an email to the convention committtee.

The person who responded was the con chair, Jennifer Pon.

( The emails, the responses... )

I'm going to post this with a request that everyone note something very important about this exchange - nobody is talking trash, and nobody had better start on my behalf. Got it?

I have to drop Jennifer a note back - I'm just rocked back on my heels a bit by the statement that Anime-Expo is not large enough to pay for its facilities by memberships alone. How big was it last year? *looks at site* 17,000 last year. That's seventeen followed by three zeros.

And they can't fund the convention on attendence like that.

There is something really wrong with this. And I think it has much to do with the fact that if you want to attend this convention, get seating to all the events you'd pay to see, you have to buy up their hotel space as well. One person has to spend another $125 a day to attend this convention, in addition to the convention membership, to accomplish this. (You want to share a room, okay - you go ahead. My room is $125 a night.)

Telling people it only costs $45 for the weekend is less than the truth then, isn't it?

I think their approach to providing a complete experience is unique - last year, they did a lot with roving crafts - origami, candy-pulling, calligraphy - which were gratis to whoever was there.

With the predictable manymanymany-to-one ratios.

If you haven't been to the Anaheim Convention Center since the upgrade, you don't know how really good that facility has become. It can handle that many people, remain cozy and tidy and pleasant.

It's also expensive as giddy hell.

I want to sit and bend Jennifer's ear a bit more - it's money money money here, and while I understand that, I also want to remind her of what she's asking people to pay for. Without really being fair about it.

Your input is requested.

Remember. Be nice or I bop you.
