Why are you guys doing this?

We went to A-Kon over the weekend to host a panel. It was amazing - we had a full house for the show, and we got lots of questions and comments about our trips. During the show we also put this on Twitter:

ATTENTION #Akon29 - Do you have a friend at the con who could REALLY use a trip to Japan? Tweet your tale to us, and you just might win some free stuff in the process! #akon #akon2018 pic.twitter.com/LtJWe94bu7

At the same time this was happening, A-Kon was having a huge registration issue, resulting in a bunch of their staff putting in extra hours to fix it. That also led this line: 

and this reply:

I’d like to tell the tale of the extensive and stupidly dragged out line #AKON29 seems to enjoy putting it’s con goers through. The sight of starving, dazed cosplayers is never a sight I plan to see on a nice summer weekend. JUST MAIL THE BADGES!

SO: We asked the twitterverse if we should just give a prize to everyone in line, to which we got an emphatic yes. Go figure.

BUT: because we can’t possibly give away that much (we’re a small company!), we settled on another idea: we hit the phones, arranged some flights, and came up with a special that also happens to be the first anime trip to Japan from Dallas EVER. Cool!

I HAVE QUESTIONS.
