Any updates on ANA Convention at Phoenix? How was Nepathya and Dj party?
How many people showed up and how was the crowd?

I think the turn out was about 500.
May be little more.
IN Soccer---NY lost.
Nepathya show supposed to be starting at 8 got a late start after the award ceremony for sports.

There was little difficulty in setting up the sound system for Nepathya in the beginning.

Hopefully all went well.
By the way i heard these from various sources.

Update---
Nepathya was still rocking at 11:22 pm (pacific time)
Amrit Gurung Introduced the band right after they performed "Bheda Ko Uun Jasto"
This is What Amrit said after introducing the band...
"ma Aba Tapai Haru Lai Arko Nachne Geet Sunauchu La?"

Great reaction from the crowd.
Seems Like Good closing of the Convention

I DID NOT GO TO THE WEIRD CONVENTION AT ALL..BORING ANA CONVENTION. PHERI KAHA BHANdA ARIZONA RE POHOR TA COLORADO MA THIYO BUT I DID GO THERE IT WAS FABULOUS. BUT NO NOT THIS YEAR:(...HMMMM:P

how was it folks? did u enjoy it///what was coolest,, u saw and the weirdest performance? any comments?? Let me know..thanks,,:)

I like you. :)

ANA convention is for bunch of losers,old short fat men in their 30's who can't get laid and desperate women in different shapes and sizes,go there to find their other pathetic half.

This yearýs ANA final soccer was very competitive,

Some high lights:-

15 minutes,
Team United (former DC) made 1 goal when Referee gave controversial penalty kick (small push) to DC players

60 minutes,
NYNYC got penalty kick but referee later changed his mind after talking to DC players and gave free kick inside D area line (BTW I have never seen free kick inside D area line in my life, it was funny to watch 11 of dc players standing on goal line along goalie to block ball)

70minutes,
NYNYC made 1 goal

Result: 1-1

Over time,

NO goal for first 10 minutes

14 minnutes,
Team United scores 1 goal.

NYNYC Made a goal through heading for corner kick but instead of giving a goal Referee changed to penalty kick coz somebody from dc player pushed NYNYC player. (I think goal should have been given as advantage but referee gave penalty kick and again changed to free kick inside small D area line.)

It was very exciting game I have ever seen in ANA final, Lucky DC with former 2 national teamýs U19 players got controversial win this year even through NYNYC dominated for most of the game.

NE player

Other than soccer, how was the convention? Any reviews, comments? What was the turnout, etc?

B_D.

Nepatya was sofaking cool,Rest were okay. Santosh Pant and his cheap humor was pathetic. I have been to betterANA conventions. The ppl from AZ worked really hard to make this a success though, hats off to them.

So did any other bands besides Nepathya played there? If they did how was it?

There were couple of others, Andazification and PD Pradhan's group. They were okay.You didn't miss anything.

Dear Kps,

I disagree with some of your Soccer high lights:

****
>>15 minutes,
>>Team United (former DC) made 1 goal when Referee gave controversial penalty kick >>(small push) to DC players.

Inside of D-box WITH THE BALL, if defensive player make fouls, it's usually penalty. AND Giving Penalty kick always controversial.

****Please check FIFA Rules ****

Referee never changed their decision. They didn't awarded penalty. Hand signals were indicate for free kick. Team United player was just opposing the faul call because they thought it was clean tackle. NY team misunderstood it.

Please check hand signal rules -http://www.fifa.com/fifa/handbook/laws/2004/LOTG2004_e.pdf

Of course, since Team United went back to defensive game, no surprise to putting 11 men to block the kick. If you haven't seen kick inside D area, this will not be last one because it is in the FIFA rules. Please check out FIFA rules.

Controversial foul happen before corner kick. There was no corner kick at all so there was no any goal. By the way, no offensive player can block or touch goalie before corner kick. NY player was pushing the goalie but referee just saw goalie pushing NY player. Second person caught for wrong reason. NY was lucky to get free kick.

Yes, NY controlled the most percentage of ball because once Team United got one goal lead. Their strategy was to hold one goal lead by playing defense. No doubt NY was improved a lot. They are really good soccer team. It was brilliant soccer game played by both team as well as both team showed best sportsmanship.

NY team was lucky to go semifinal directly without playing game and got LA (Most old age player and they don't have reserve) in semifinal.

It was very funny semifinal game between Team United and Dallas. There was fight between Dallas players during game.

Dallas plays twice with Team United. Nebraska soccer forfeit at last moment. Their player played from Dallas.

It was wonderful soccer and Basketball venue. It was best sports facility among any ANA convention.

Sports organizer tried their best. CUDOS to them.

DC is winner of ANA 2004, Basketball and Phoenix is runner up. NY and Nebraska was semifinalist.

Two women Basketball team. Nebraska is new women Basketball champion. Dallas is runner up.

It is worth to watch Nepathya. They are really good. Sounds systems were also very good.

One more...

Next year's ANA will NOT be in East cost...

It will be in Dallas

ANA = All Nepalese Assholes ?
ANA = Asshole Nepalese in America?

ANA was so much fun even though it was over 100 degress.

DJ party was so much fun. All the songs they played were great and everyone enjoyed it a lot. DC Basketball team were the first ones to go up to the dance floor and basically they just started the party. By the end everyone was dancing and no one wanted to leave.

Nepathya was great, loved all their songs. They showed 2 music videos at the begining and that was wonderfu and it just got everyone excited. Their show was almost 2 hours long and everyone kept dancing from the start till the end.

Didn't get a chance to go to the soccer game but Basketball was great. Ritesh and Prakash got MVP. DC won both Soccer and Basketball. Other teams were good too and everyone played well.

There was about 500 people but everyone who came enjoyed. It was not as big as the other convention but it was sure lot of fun.

Peace Out...............

What the heck is wrong with "Saibaba_exposed".......is he some sort of craked Jack?

"What the heck is wrong with "Saibaba_exposed".......is he some sort of craked Jack?"

He got anal probed by sai baba that's y he wants to expose him and the reason he uses that word a$$hole so much is because of the incounters that he had with the babaji.

Dear Bahadur977,

Actually,

Referee had called penalty both times, his hands clearly showed penalty sign, no doubt about that. I was watching with 4-5 NE and Dallas players from the sideline, thatýs what we saw and we all were surprised when Referee changed call to indirect free kick.

I asked sideline Referee, his answer was "After talking to Sweeper (DC), Sweeper was covering just one to one, NO push, Main Referee changed call to indirect free kick". He definitely changed call from penalty to indirect free kick (for sure).

I would not comment on whether foul was enough to call penalty both times even though Referee clearly had called penalty both times before he talked to dc players but looking at the circumstance how DC had been awarded penalty for small foulý..there is no questions that both kick should be awarded penalty kick. In that case, game could go either side, most likely NY. I would say this yearýs Real ANA champion is NY even through officially lucky DC won game.

BTW, This year ANA final was brilliant game and no question about that and hope to see game like this next year.
