Sponsor & Super Sponsor Benefits
Pan Hesekiel Shiroi:
nifelan: Maybe it won't solve your problem completely ... but how about you put a pillow or two on your seat and sit on top of them? (This is just a suggestion, though ... but I know how annoying it can be to be too small to see anything.)

I can't repeat this often enough: A sponsor does NOT pay for his own privilieges. The privileges are just a little reward, nothing more. The majority of a sponsor's money pays for EVERYONE ELSES BENEFITS.
The con itself is, and will always be, 100% non-profit. But I can't help it, a convention generates costs, and someone has to pay for them or the party is not going to happen.
And if a sponsor pays it for you ... isn't that great?
nifela:
Don't get me wrong, I am thankful for all the guys that support the con with their wallets and I would do too if my financial situation would be better now. Not because I want to be first in line (heck I usually show up way late anyway) but because I want to support the con.
There's this bitter taste that automatically comes with such sponsor rewards which really gives you the impression that the con is partitioned into the have and have-nots. Of course we all get the same thing in the end, the sponsors only get it sooner - which possibly causes some discomfort for us regulars. After all, we get raised in that way, that being first is somewhat important.
Skie:
The only problem with the pawpet show is that there aren't dvds yet *glares at cheetah*
Cheetah:
We were planning to have an EF15 higlights DVD and an EF11 Pawpetshow DVD ("Songs of the old Ages") out for EF16. But our private lifes exploded in our faces, and we didn't get it finished. I promise to release at least the PPS dvd this year, and move on to producing the EF13 ("Unlucky Thirteen") PPS dvd. If we can get BBF motivated to go on with the EF15 dvd once he has 30 hours of EF16-Footage on tape remains to be seen, though :)
