I'm fairly certain that, in terms of space, there was more available at the Anaheim Convention Center than at the Disneyland Convention Center.. A lot of exhibitors + a ton more attendees + less walking space = Over-crowded exhibit hall > > Delays were the main problem of the day.

If one showing ended and the next one you wanted to go to was in another building, it's not really worth it... They also moved certain things from what the printed map said things would be.. My friends and I were looking for the artist gallery, which the map said was in Bonita Tower. Some other attendee there told us that it had been moved, but he didn't know where, so we had to go back to information to find out that it had been moved to Sierra... They really should have put up some kind of sign to let us know (1) that the gallery was moved, and (2) where it was moved to. At one point, I was trying to get into Video Room 1, and there was a line for the Film Room, the AX staffer there wouldn't let me in, even though Video Room 1 wasn't filled, and there was no line for it... I wonder if any of the staffers had ever worked in a movie theatre before. Well, I should be griping this to the newsgroups, so they can improve on these things next year. -- Glenn Wang , http://www.capcorphq.com/ Proud member of #SAS# and Co-Founder of #WASHU# *********************************************************************** I won't forget (this sky) R "Fuurinkan Koukou wa doko da?"
