Anime Expo Update
Jun. 19th, 2005 10:17 amWe still object to the ticketing policy.
"How do you get a ticket?
There are two ways to obtain tickets to the events named above:
1. Line-up in Hall E at 1pm for tickets on the day of the event, based on availability.
2. Reserve a hotel room under any of the three hotels in the Anime Expo room block by May 31, 2005 and get one ticket per registered guest to one event of your choice (up to a maximum of 4 tickets per room), based on availability."
Uh, nope. Better than last year, but still no dice.
The only policy that is acceptable, by theory? The first one. Reasonable? Oh, hell no.
A legitimate policy would take that very, very good registration program they use, and allow it to issue tickets at the time of registration - and allow the registree to choose one event at that time.
Then open it up at 1:00 PM on the day of the event for leftovers if you want to do more than one.
Fill it up at registration? Suspend the event - it's sold out, too bad so sad. Make other arrangements.
But tickets for hotel stays? No. Not when I will never use a hotel room for AX again.
See ya next year!

Father's Day?
Jun. 19th, 2005 07:45 pmI've seen some of the whack passing for homilies today - Father's Day at Downtown Disney. Just a couple of pointers -
No, your kid is not "past that" if the Lego kit he covets at the Lego Store is rated younger than his age. He want's that kit - not the more difficult one that is fugly, boring and not his thing. And no, the more you insist (and he resists) is not the cue for you to tell him to "settle the fuck down." Merde.
I saw a lot of males with attendent offspring who were total strangers today. No, one day at Disney won't fix that, you wankers. Get a clue.
I did see a couple of families out for Sunday dinner - one with, gee, more than 10 members, enjoying the heck out of the live music at the Jazz Club this afternoon. They were - *gasp* - enjoying each other's company immensely. What a concept.
I saw a lot of Dads at Build-a-Bear (why yes, we went back - and took![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
caitlin) today - and it was pretty cool. It's a bit frou-frou for most beefy types - but they managed not to break out in purple spots. Must have been the Harley-Davidson stuff near the front of the store.
There are a lot of male parents on my friends list. Greetings of the day to you - no, you ain't getting a card. Feh. As if.
Guys, I noticed. BTW, you're doing a great job.
And as for me? I'm calling Mom and thanking her for doing a great job, too.
I'm also thinking about a bunch of Dads that have passed on, having a nice peaceful smoke together. Y'know.
