I know that feeling, I really do. Maybe try joining the Animazement forum and see where that goes? You may meet some others that share interests with you? That's where I met a lot of my friends.

>>6626975
I'm still under the belief that it was to pay for 2011's escalator breakage. That's what the story was post-convention when everyone found out about the price jacking. We'll just have to see if the prices go down this year and then we'll know.

>>6626977

Ever since they were the first band announced for Animazement, some forum people have complained. Their music is a mixture between rock and pop, depending on the song. The concerts are really fun though because a lot of their songs are catchy and have dances to them so they get the crowd to do the dance.

I thought Rampant-Noodle was bad but this girl has been sending me messages for over an hour now and it's gotten to the point where I don't care if it reveals my identity, this shit is ridiculous. I can post the other messages she sent me if needed.

The context of this is me telling her that they should have just taken their donation prizes and sold them as is and how a lot of the prizes weren't even worth their donation price, like $5 getting you access to their progress blog.
