I can't speak for my teammates, but I'm doing more than one fest at the moment, and I have a reeaally bad habit of procrastinating until the literal last minute, so I figured the art interview would be far, far too distractingly fun. :P
But laziness probably has something to do with it, at least for some of us - I know a few of my teammates have said that they're reallyreallyreally busy, though. *shrug*
