I remember there being some sort of delay, but I wasn't there to confirm that it was that long. Yeah Acen may be retarded and what not, but still it was fun. They need to work on improving the scheduling indeed.
I dunno what the Touhou photoshoot was like last year, but this year, from the EoSD cast, we only had a Sakuya cosplayer, a Flandre cosplayer, and something like three Cirno cosplayers lol.
