Great job, everyone! Congrats on finishing awesome works
Great to see such a big turnout, I wish I could have been more active.
Can I still drop by the party, even though I didn't have time to enter? :/
Too bad I missed the ruffle
This is the first workshop I didn't participate in due to RL time constraints, and I missed the fun of it.
Good luck everyone! Can't wait to see the final results

@Minami , are you kidding me !!! the party is as open as it can be, i am expecting quite some lurkers of this competition to show up at the party to admire their favorite artist from upclose 
... and even some people that just heard the word party and decided to show up, seeing gw-en dj's mention their party scedule on air, and seeing i sortof invited guildwars2live to come by if they feel like it, they may have mentioned it at some of their live shows as well, so its far off from a secluded party to a select few ... and i think it should be, whats the point of winning if there isn't a big crowd to cheer you on as a winner
