Attendance guesses
« on: September 15, 2008, 02:25:46 pm »
I've seen this before, and I wanted to jump on it now.  Any guesses on how many people came THIS year to NDK?

It definitely seemed significantly bigger than previous years, but I'm going to reserve judgment on exact numbers because I always seem to be waaaaay wrong.

I think on Friday, there was a much larger turnout than usual.  But Saturday seemed a little less hectic than previous years.

My guess for total attendance is going to be... ONE PERSON, Bob.

I'll be the closest without going over.

How about I buy the closest person who guesses an anime movie of their choice ($20 limit)?  Any takers?

I have a fairly solid estimate based on some knowledge, but I am waiting on official numbers from the higher ups. Even what I have in my head I know is not accurate. It was definitely big and we will find out just how big after the dust settles.

6,242 XD Why not, I'll play along too. I really have no idea, I just went along with what others were saying and threw in a 42 for good measure :D Although, I do believe that some of the hallways are beginning to feel like being cramped into a sardine can compared to the last few years...or maybe it's just me getting slowly more and more annoyed with the crowds not caring about other people XP

This was my first year in attendance... but I would guess around 5,800 people.

o.o So was the registration line on Saturday worst in the past? I seriously got up at 8am, went and ate pancakes and then then came back around 11 and the line was still there.

The reg line usually gets pretty long, but as long as we keep it under control it moves REALLY fast.
