I only attended he Meet & GREET and the Expo, so I cannot offer any intelligent comment regarding the prejudging and the finals other than to say that WIGGS and a couple of other youse-guys should set up the finals and work it sown to 4 hours max.
The Meet & Greet in my humble opinion was OUTSTANDING and exceptionally well organized with a ton and a half fans standing in long lines to meet and greet the more well-known contenders.
URS seemed to be at the head of the longest line but in a few spots it was so crowded and lined-up, that it was damn near impossible to see who was at the other end.
Overall, It was exceptionally well organized with a ton and a half of enthusiastic fans.
It was free for all, but I have a strong feeling that will change in Florida.
The Expo ($40) on Friday was another mob of enthusiastic fans all standing in long lines to meet some popular individual at the other end.
I took a two hour tour meeting old and ancient friends along the way and then headed back into the relatively saner casino which appeared to be packed with even insaner individuals playing $25, 6 to 5 Blackjack and roulette with triple zeros!
Whomever set these two events up ..... did a damn fine job and my hat with the little propeller goes off to him, her, or them.
But they gotta do something about that 6+ (8??) hour finals.
I hereby nominate WIGGS to step in and fix that situation.
But as someone said, you gotta remember the $$$$ !
