Visions of A-Kon Hell 2009
Thanks to A-Kon Hellion Ayane Eiketsu for bringing these moving images back from the pit of HELL.

A-Kon Hells Post Mortem
I got home to find that my 3 legged cat had puked in my bed AND Japanator had posted a nice review of the Friday night A-Kon HELL with lots of video goodness, too.
As Japanator points out the Friday night show was in a panel room with the max capacity of 100 people. But Saturday night's show was moved to Video Room 2 where there was plenty of space for everyone. A-Kon may not know or care about AnimeHELL, but at least now they seem to understand that lots and LOTS of folks wanna go to it and see it. Here's to the hope that next year finds A-Kon HELL scheduled in a video room from the start.
Still, a good time was had by all. And much candy was given out and many prizes raffled off. A big thanks to the A-Kon staffers who put up with our wacky clip show crowd, we appreciate all your help in getting HELL into a bigger room. And a special thanks to the Anonymous Audience Guy who helped out with setting up the video projector and getting the sound back when we lost it on Friday night. You rock! And, of course, thanks go to Emily and Bob DeJesus for the Kawaii TV opening and Bruce, Avery and Katie, too.
I've got lots of A-Kon HELL video on my monkey cam and as soon as YouTube lets me upload it I'll post it for all to enjoy.
Bonus: morphyloon shares, "a panoramic view from my place in the AnimeHELL line."

A-Kon 18: A Danger to Ourselves and Others
HELL was an incredible success at A-Kon. In fact it has become too successful.
Sometime during the first hour we were interrupted by security. The Fire Marshall was on site and we had filled the panel room to over capacity. We brought the show to a complete stop and had to have anybody who didn't have a seat to leave, clearing the hundred or so folks who lined the walls and sat on the floor. It's painfully obvious at this point that HELL has out grown the A-Kon panel rooms. I hope to have HELL moved into a larger room with a larger screen at next year's A-Kon.
If you'd like to see HELL at A-Kon without having to break the law or put yourself at risk of being trampled and/or burned to death please send and e-mail to A-Kon or post a note on the A-Kon forums and tell them you don't want to be kicked out of HELL again!
Despite living dangerously and tempting death we had a good time. And except for the loss of a portable DVD player early in the evening we had few technical issues. A big thanks has to go to the A-Kon AV tech who ran the sound boards for the show. I wish I'd gotten his name, he was a real trooper. Thanks also goes out to Bruce Lewis, Joshua Roberts and HELL Nurse Katie for doing that thing they do. I couldn't do any of this without you guys. Michael Tatum came down with a cold and was sorely missed by all those who attended. Wish you'd been there, Michael.
The HELLraffle this year was six JuiceBOX Personal Media Players perfect for watching Sponge Bob or Hillary Duff on. Congratulations to all the winners of the HELLraffle! I've misplaced the list of winners so I won't be humiliating any of them in this post.
There were many memorable moments of Friday night's OtakuHELL, but the highlight of the show for me had to be when HELL Nurse Katie threw panties to the crowd. Seriously, nothing could top that. I wish I had pictures of that.
And always remember: our glorious HELL Nurse Katie will give you candy!
