Thought I'd share a few thoughts about the next con, officially announced back in June. It's already getting exciting, as a ton of PR alumni are already on board, including nearly everyone who was at Anime Expo -- and it's still a year away.
I'm glad things are happening a lot smoother this time around. Last time, the huge delay in info from the website lead to me scrambling to be on the forum as much as I could during the final month or so (which wasn't easy during May sweeps) and perhaps a better effort to find a roommate could've been made. For next years con, the details will be out in a more timely manner and the roommate situation -- we shall see. I can't wait to see the schedule, which is bound to be jam-packed, better structured and have panels for a majority of the seasons. It'd be nice to buy something from the merch tables this time as well.
I still don't know what I was thinking -- not bothering to spend even a lunch going through the booklet of my then-new digital camera -- instead figuring it out while using it. It was just one trip after another to that gift shop. -_- Next year though, will go MUCH better and I'll definitely have a stash of rechargeable batteries so I can just keep switching them out when needed (more Rangers = more pics).
One thing that was great about the first PMC was the very intimate feel -- tons of impromptu autograph signing and pics, as fans could casually chat with the PR alumni in the hallways -- whether they were passing by or just hanging out. That's likely to change.
I'll look forward to arriving at the location a day or 2 early and be ready for actors who happen to show up the evening before it starts. And being my 3rd PR gathering, things shouldn't be so freakin' awkward. It'll be great to meet actors again who were at the last PMC and ones making their first appearance at the con, all while hanging out with people I know from Rangerboard and talked to at ACEN. ^_^
