I have been hopeful and excited, coming out of every team member preview. My friends, even more so...all of us had this same feeling, which is why it was alarming to me personally.Budget cuts were inevitable this year -- we've seen it before -- but remember this event made its bones with houses done on shoestring budgets we old-timers still won't shut up about two decades later. Sometimes a lower budget can force creativity. Also, especially re: Demon Queens, it wouldn't be the first time masks/sets weren't ready opening weekend.
I hate judging the event before it's had a week or two to cook. Too many TMs/guests are simply hyped to be "FIRST!", while the actors haven't had time to learn their space and what works there. Opening weekend is about enjoying the vibes and what is basically Orlando's night before Thanksgiving, when we finally catch up and have a drink with friends we haven't seen all year
Again, things could completely change for us as the weeks go forward. It's all an expectation thing, and again, I'm stating that you won't be disappointed if you keep them low.
