Business as Usual

Typical Staff Status Meeting

There is no doubt that every year we must strive to excel far beyond what we perceive as a successful staffer for a successful convention. It is not an easy task under the rigors of less-than-average sleeptime, physical duress, and the expectation from attendees and industry representatives alike to set an example for all other international conventions. Numbers, numbers, numbers, duties, logistics, questions, answers, directions... one often wonders if we even watch any anime.


	Scanner (Registration Director) and Kevin (Logistics) hash out technical concerns.		In front, Mike (Hospitality Chef) and Joseph (Hospitality Head) review their schedules for this year. These dudes are responsible for keeping the staffers alive and well for the entire convention, as most staffers don't have much time to eat or sleep, let alone remember to eat or sleep.

	It goes without saying that along with our expectations for success, we must also constantly upgrade technical equipment to the latest standards to appease the general masses. Shown here are the latest Registration machines that will speed up 1998's at-con membership registration.		Yep, we build them ourselves from scratch.
