Well, it may have been good for who actually got to go inside and see
the event.  But the majority of people, myself included, waited around
until the fun part of the event was over, and then were herded past a
table where a few seiyuu were passing out candy with a picture of
Tomo.  If you were lucky, one of them even made eye contact during the
split second during which the transaction took place.  Then you were
herded back into lobby, where you could, of course, buy more stuff.

One of the most condescending experiences I've ever had, and a real
eye-opener as to how pathetic being a seiyuu-otaku can be.
