i know feb 27th might end up being your date, but idk how everyone would feel about going to a competition in frigid weather and potentially a shit ton of snow. More than going to the competition in a full jacket, hats, gloves, plus bringing all the cosutumes, props, etc., I hate being cold goin to a party. Idk how many ppl woudl go to an afterparrty if they have to wait in line in the cold for an extended period of time, in buffalo. I kinda am in the dark on this though, in the past, how was this issue handled in the past?
^^ this might also be why you may consider a july comp and changing the cometitions name. The northeast is probably the most beautiful are of the U.S. in the summer. You'll get plenty of independent teams to apply. unless you really want collegiate teams involved. But if this is gonna be run through U of B, then nevermind that.
