Mental Maniacs and Chibicon 2009

Too much time has passed since we last updated, but here goes.

The past couple of months had us hosting the karaoke at Animecon 2009, just weeks after Kitacon. The venue was still the Theaterhotel in Almelo, but this time we were located next to the lobby, in the former dealer room. With extra space and even some sliding doors to provide much needed cooling to all of you who sang to your heart's content. It also showed us that a one hour queue maximum might not be the best thing out there, but it sure shortens the wait. And it is a bit more fair than people filling up the playlist for the rest of the evening during the first 10 minutes.
Kudos also to Hen3, Kaj and the Strawberry AV crew for the lighting and sound.

After that, we went to Chibicon 2009, at their new venue in Houten.
Although we were a bit apart from the rest of the convention, people did come to see us and the sweet setup that the tech staff had provided. (then again, being in the same room as the cloak room tends to draw people to you)
Karaoke was running non stop from eleven till eight, with a playlist that actually never exceeded the 90 minute mark.
We noted down every song you requested that we didn't have available and hopefully we'll find the time to get them finished for the next big event.
