Otakon 2010

[Mr. SmartyPants]

So yeah. This year, in about two months from now, there's another Otakon going on. I've decided to go cause... well... I like you all. =)

That and I can justifiably be nerdy.

So it's in Baltimore, Maryland, as usual, for all those fine individuals that will inevitably ask: "Where is it again?" XD

So who is showing up? I believe Nate, Peanut, Rushi-rwar, and the ever-so-absent Meboeck will be there. We're also trying to get Corrie to show up. So everyone tell her or to show. Threaten to steal her vinyl collection if she doesn't come to Otakon or something.

Any other lovely CAA people planning to show? And btw preregister if you haven't, I guess. XD

[ClosetOtaku]

I will be there, very likely with my wife. Unlike last year, we won't be massively jet lagged (from the Japan trip), so we are looking forward to having dinner one evening, if that can be arranged.

See you there!

[Mr. SmartyPants]

Woot! I'm down for that.

[Peanut]

I will be there on Friday and Saturday but not Sunday because Church>Otakon...especially when you're interning...

[choklit]

I'm 70% sure I'm going, along with my sister. The 30% that is excluded is because my mom's unsure whether to let a (happily) delirious 17 year old and adorable 12 year old loose in Otakon. So yeah. here's to hoping.

[ashfire]

I will be there do my regular checking out the things I want to see and do.
Two back to back weekends for Baltimore for me because of Otakon and Firehouse Expo.
Look at all the shiney things and people.

[LadyRushia]

I'm stoookkkeeeddd, but I've got a lot of work to do to get ready.

[Htom Sirveaux]

I'll be there, as will IchiTone and NekoChan_C.

[Nate]

Yeah I'll probably be there.

Um...anyone got a hotel room or something I can share with them to keep costs low? :\

[yukoxholic]

I've pre-regged but I'm unsure if I'll be able to make any CAA planned meet ups. >_> I'm helping a friend with a panel and a few other things but I will be around the con! XD

[Tsukuyomi]

Sounds like so much fun already ^O^

I look forward to stories when the con has come and gone ^__^ Have lots of fun and be safe ~<3

[Blitzkrieg1701]

I ought to be there again this year, though I can't afford to make any concrete plans until Animazement is over (so next week then)

[Beau Soir]

I've gone for the last few years, and I hope to go again this year. I can't say I'll be there for sure though until we finalize things.

[Gelka]

[color="Lime"]^^ I will be going this year. Can't wait!![/color]

[Nate]

I should go ahead and register probably.

Would still really appreciate someone being a bro and offering to share a room with me. Not to sound like...whiny or anything. ._.

I will probably cosplay as Tsukasa again at least one day I guess.

[Mr. SmartyPants]

Nah it's not whiny. I understand your situation.

I'm not sure what's going on with housing on my end. We're moving at some point during the summer. Not too far. Not sure when, though.

[Fish and Chips]

I had been planning on attending Otakon near the beginning of 2010, but current circumstances I'm afraid are forcing me to fold. Even minimizing the cost of con and plane tickets, I'd need to do something about housing, and I have no means of personal transportation on the East Coast.

Also, should any of my job lines get a bite, the majority of them would require me here, not taking a vacation on the other side of the country.

[Nate]

Well I'll use THIS thread instead of the general convention thread to note that I have just now registered for Otakon, so my going is official. You may all stop celebrating the chances of me being absent. :p

[minakichan]

I'm trying to go (first time!!) but I need a place to crash. Does anyone know if security guards or the such get mad if you sleep on the floor or in chairs?

DISREGARD THIS, I'm registered.

Plane tickets took a bite out of me though, so should I appear stingy when it comes to gas money, don't take it personally.

[Etoh*the*Greato]

Good gravy I need to go to these one of these years... AI happens around the same time, so I won't be able to this year. >.>

[Htom Sirveaux]

Nate, I'd like to be able to help you out again this year, but we'll have five, possibly six people in our room. Hope you can work something out, though.

[Nate]

I don't think they mind (lots of people sleep on couches and stuff there) but I don't know that you can spend the night there, I think the convention center does have hours it's closed. Plus, there's no showers there, so...yeah. :\

Also as an update, my room situation is resolved, I have someone I'm staying with. I'd offer to split a room with you, Mina, but I'm sure you don't want to stay in the same room as me. :p I'll ask the person I have arrangements with if they can fit you in, but since it's his house rather than a hotel, it might not work out. I'll still ask though.

[ShiroiHikari]

Wish I could come have fun with you guys, but as usual, it just isn't going to happen. Take lots of pictures and videos!

[Doubleshadow]

I wanna go! *bawls* But...
I am moving and it is pricey baby! XD My poor, poor bank account!
Grr... I'd been looking forward to it big time too! But I'll survive. *^*

[Sheol777]

*bump*

I will certainly be there this year and I hope to see you all again!
