And so I'll ask you, the expert .... how much In Drag can I be before they won't let me through the turnstyles??

While I have not participated in in MA for a few years, it sounds to me (as an outsider) that

A) It is a better event than it used to be (I remember the awards ceremony in the picnic area where they would even allow Alex to use a bullhorn).
B) I wonder if there even would be a MA any more. Disney is not a charity. Also, they have legal obligations that they need to protect (to prevent being sued - I think we all know what a litigious society we have become). I do not fault the Mouse for protecting their interests.

I doubt that would stop you regardless. I've seem some pretty lovely drag queens at DL.

Wow, it's a good thing my teammate noticed that Masters Teams also have to register before space expires, otherwise they're S.O.L.

That's the first time this has been required. Um, I don't know why that's necessary. Yes, here's another complaint: What, a couple of lanyards need to be made, and four more xeroxes run?? I don't get it.

Besides, two of the Masters Teams have now turned to the dark side (i.e, staff and/or beta-testing), and the other two have never missed a game. Since no Masters Team has EVER not participated ... I think they can rely on that assumption.

Ok, whatever. That's another new wrinkle that won't kill me.

But for every memory Kevy has of Alex being denied the use of a bull-horn, I have five of him using the bullhorn in the picnic area with no problems.

Now I'm getting all misty-eyed for the days when the awards were given out at Carnation Gardens inside the Park. Le Sigh.

And, for the record, trashing Disney and MP costs is all the trash-talking I can do in this thread. The days of my team creaming everyone else are long over.

There is a capacity limit on the facilities.

I think last year they said it was a 500 people capacity. That is why there is also no additions to the teams after space is full.

"By the way"? Ran out of complaints for that moment so you bring up a totally unrelated thing to continue your gripefest? Sometimes you impress even me.

It's not how much drag, it's how good your drag is. Gotta fool those turnstyle folks.

Not true, we missed a game before (for Paris, I think) and now we're missing another game. And like GD said, the room has a capacity.

Ah, but it may very well kill US, having to hear you bitch and bitch about every little thing.

"Now"? Don't you mention that fact EVERY frelling time? (BTW, even GD and I weren't around for that, it's just you and Kevin Yee that pine for that.)

Thank you for admitting the real truth here - Sour Grapes. I think all geezerism is just a large case of sour grapes.

Eh, reading a few curmudgeon posts won't do anyone any more harm than having to register in time like the rest of the paying customers.

Oh, and bottled water wasn't unrelated. It's my chosen example of a thing most people now pay for, that they used to get for free. With the added irony that they can still get the same thing for free.

Ghoulish Delight · 08-09-2007, 03:05 PM

Yeah, the free market sucks.
