This was my 11th time going to the awards. Granted it's not new to me anymore but here are some things I haven't cared for in the past or this year.
The "Red Carpet" - OMFG! I thought last year was bad. Years ago you had plenty of space (several people wide). Was nothing more than a slow walk while being blinded by flashes. Couldn't even go around the line as they had a checkpoint to make sure you had a ticket this year. People cutting in, parts of the line 2 people wide, people yelling right in your ear. Jesus I know the fans need to take pictures but they don't have to have their noses in your ear to get a shot. Zoom lens?????
Food - Always a disappointment. Believed we were served 2 sets of egg rolls and 1 plate of wanton. Worked out to mostly people getting 1 of each. I liked those fancy pizza bagels back in the day.
Band - If I am not mistaken it's the same band that has been playing since 94. Even a good thing can get redundant, change is good. I really liked it when they had the DJ there with mostly black lights and freaks walking around juggling stuff. Was different (plus I prefer that type of music)
Cocktail waitresses - Or should I say cardboard cut-outs of servers that get your hopes up they will actually come to your table and take an order.
DJ Quick! - Has that guy released an album in the last 5 years? Would have been ok if he sung "All the girls just love me, 'cause my jerry curl is greazy."
Drunks - Ok I admit I love the drink but I would like to get by one year without some angry chick yelling at waiters and people around her during the show. Don't girls get horny anymore when they drink?
Press - Wasn't a problem this year so much but in the past so many photographers would come up front, block your view, even take a chair and that really gets annoying. Good job this year.
