Right now AnimeCon.org/Chrono LC CEO Ryan Kopf (who runs Anime Midwest, Animinneapolis, Meta Con, Con Alt Delete, Yoi Con, and several other events) is suing me in the state of Illinois over articles I wrote about him on my geek news site Nerd & Tie. Please consider contributing to my legal fund so I can continue to fight this case.

Because that would be weird.
This was a huge fear early on with our convention as well. Too much bullshit meant too little was getting done.
Wait, the meetings are WEEKLY?!
I’m guessing a huge majority of the staff must live nearby.
There are cons that don’t meet weekly?
Our Directors range from Colorado to Connecticut to Florida. The closest to our convention locale lives five hours away.
We meet formally twice a year. once at the convention and once four months before. There’s a fair bit of “Hey, we’re at this other con, let’s chat” but we do a LOT of email.
The month or so before the convention, certainly… the rest of the year… well, it’s established this isn’t a normal convention group… wasting that much time, they’d need to meet weekly to get anything accomplished.
Part of me thinks 4 hours isn’t so bad for a convention meeting, but that includes the time spent standing around bullshitting before and after…
We don’t go to weekly until we’re less than a month away from the con. It’s monthly most of the time then every three or so weeks
okay you either let me fix your site the way it needs to be fixed or i walk and you can find some other sucker to do this
Hey, at least they meet every week…it coulld have been a MONTHLY schedule…
