WHY are they at the same time!? T_T
« on: June 22, 2010, 09:03:28 PM »
Ok, I'm not really that upset. But it is rather frustrating that the two main events I will not miss (cosplay and court case) are at the same time as two panels that I really wanted to go to (Mandalorian Mercenaries and Paint tool SAI). *wimper* Woe is me... Has this happened to anyone else?

Of course I realize that the whole convention can't be scheduled to revolve around me, I'm just whining for the sake of it and hoping for some company in my misery. :/ At least Working with Resins isn't conflicting with anything.

I'm sorry guys! ;3; I tried really hard to keep our normal court case time at 5pm, but there was already an event lined up. :(

-legasp- OHNO! You can come for a bit of Jeopardy then go. x3

And last year, my panel I ran on Para Para was the same time as the Tiffany Grant panel. I was devestated. And by devestated I mean I had someone get her autograph while my panel was going on. XD Lawl

Sorry guys, but overlaps in the schedule happen.  There will always be two things that someone wants to see that are scheduled at the same time.  It happens at every convention.  If it doesn't, then the convention probably doesn't have a lot of stuff that's interesting to you.

The only way this could ever be avoided was to just put everything in one room and have the convention stretch out for a week and a half so that nothing ever happens at the same time as anything else.  Of course, then people would complain that there were long periods of stuff they didn't care about.

Well, it turned out that both the Court Case and the Cosplay finished way early, so I got to go to Paint tool SAI. Unfortunately, Mandalorian Mercenaries was canceled due to some kind of emergency or something (I'm not sure of the details), but oh well.

I know, Patrick. I don't expect everything to be laid out exactly the way I want it. I just felt like being a crybaby. ;)

Unfortunately the Mercs had to cancel their appearance due to a family emergency. Hopefully they'll be back next time.
If all you have is a hammer, all problems are nails. Unless they're bolts, then they're bolts.
