I'm shocked they are trying this all over again, I sure hope they learned from last years mistakes. I kinda hope there is no cosplay this year, yet another part of me wants it there so I can have some goods laughs again. That Fei Fong Wong almost killed me last year.

Did anybody see the awful Preforia "Acheiving the Glow" show last year? It starred Tony Little and Adam West.

Last years Gphoria was weird and hilarious at the same time. Public Enemy perfermng their hits like Fight the Power, with cuts to the rather sparse audience full of nerds and geeks. Just didn't seem right.
