Jpopcon 2007

We have gotten invited to host our usual Karaoke event at Jpopcon in Denmark. And of course we had fun. It is the first time we went that far >_<.

Because it is the first time we do this here, the people didn’t know how it all goes. So we got many same request songs after each other. But after a bit, we encouraged people to sing with each other.

Also this is the first time ever we could do the Karaoke whole night long. At first we were kinda optimistic, there won’t be people that crazy. But people kept coming and leaving so we finally stay all night X_X.

Location

It is something different that we are used to but it was great. But because of the structure of the room we are we always have a lot of empty space, and boy did we needed those.

Equipment

Because we couldn’t bring all of our own on the plane, Kaj of Strawberry AV has provided us with great stuff. A beautiful beamer, mixer and everything we needed to do our stuff. Thanks Kaj. \o/

Abunaicon

Abunaicon 2007 Aftertalk
Sorry we are all a bit busy, so we are late with updating the blog. But here is that of Abunaicon 2007. Abunaicon was at Enschede on 7-9 October. Sorry we didn't make any pictures.

General
As always, when stuff is finally running, it was lots of fun doing the Karaoke Cafe.
The only things we had difficulty with were the poor tech support and the bad scheduling.
The tight schedule allowed us to run for a long time, but at the wrong times.
It wasn't scheduled during cosplay, but it was on during the Slightly Spring performance, which was after the cosplay.
Because Ryo is in the band, he couldn't be in two places at the same time, so poor young Max Robo had to fill in.

Tech support
Something that Abunai lacks is proper tech support and thus also a proper direction for all those technical bits that we ourselves can't provide.
What happened on Friday was that we didn't get the Amplifier and speakers on time.
Even when we *did* get them, the Tech dude had to run off again for something else, leaving us with stuff we had no experience in hooking up properly.
Also, for some reason we were assigned 5 large televisions we couldn't put anywhere, so we ditched those.
Saturday was a bit difficult since Ryo couldn't check all the equipment
Sunday was no problem. We gotten kind of used to the PA set over the past two evenings ^^;

Karaoke competition
The competition went great, aside Max Robo had to run everything. Also many contestants thought that it would be later because Ryo is at the concert. There was also a contestant that want to join but don't know any song we had, he enters with a song he thought to know but really didn't and we lost some time ><;. And thanks for the Haruhi Bunnies for doing the "act" again because Max Robo had to miss it XD.
