ITT: ROLL CALL, as >implied.
Your demon overlord calls for all you /osc/-ers to attend Anime-Boston (http://www.animeboston.com) this spring. The reason being, naturally, that your demon overlord will be present at the time, so STAY VIGILANT AND BE THERE, fellas. -w-
Interested users answer roll call ITT, obviously. -w-
(Original post)
Currently I am investigating possibilities for me to jump stateways sometime next year. I'm unsure if it's doable, but if so, I'd be damn overjoyed to get my ass off to a proper con.
THUS
I propose we put our wicked minds together and see if there's an easy way of clogging us all together on one single spot.
(not literally.)
Failing that, check how many would be able to accept a hard way. -w-;
And thus, I imply, INFINITE ROLL CALL WORKS.
OwO I'M WILLING TO ATTEND MY FIRST CON IF YOU GO!!
i'm on the eastern seaboard. animeboston is most doable, tho conneticon and portconmaine are also accessable. :3
.......and i'm willing to find you a place to stay. :3
Upcoming cons for me:
Anime Los Angeles (January 8-10)
Anime Expo (July 1-4)
Awesome stuff. :3
You may be able to find the Captain at Sakuracon (Apr 2-4) up in Seattle. That's another con I want to pay a visit to. Don't think I'll be able to until I graduate.
Is it possible to find anything over easter, or later spring? Otherwise summer is what we're looking at.
East Coast and/or in the middle of things is better for me, since I'm also planning to try visit my clone, who is spending a year in Rochester. (otherwise i'll just timesplit things, so no worries.)
This has a pretty comprehensive list of cons and their schedules:
http://www.animecons.com/events/
The only event in the range you specify that I recognize is ACen/Anime Central in Chicago on May 14-16
Ah.
I think I failed to mention the fact that I meant Rochester, MN, and not the other one, too ^^
Anyway, A-Boston and Sakuracon are both within the range of my planned visit, and from what I know, pretty sizeable. I'd hit it, so to speak.
a-boston is the best one here (i live in NH, less than hour from AB ground zero), biggest too. and also, if you wish, y'all can save money and crash here (mah house) for con.
how are both in range of planned visit? are you going to both places? cause seattle and bostone, are, like, nowhere near each other. it's like saying that sweden and switzerland are "both within range" of each other.....
anyway, yeah. AB = bigass con, me going (i WILL go this year! i will fucking walk if that's what it takes! >:3 ), ect ect.
.....discuss? the ones i mentioned are the only ones i can really make it to.....PCM is actually a bit of a stretch.....
oh, and coneticon is in july, AB is in april this year, and PCM is in june.
I was talking about the timeframe, since beginning of april-ish is the optimal time for me to visit.
AND
It seems I might even be able to pull myself a freebie on the con ticket, since they said they'd pay me one convention of choice as a bday present (2 DAYS LEFT LOL), so much win has been had.
Now it's just about scraping up some maneehs to pay this party with. -w-; The flight alone is gonna go upwards 900$, and that despite all best efforts ;w;
hence why i say you can save cash and crash here.
..........i have a friend who could call in a massive favor.....but i doubt it'll work. but if it does, you'll be flying free. :\ don't get you're hopes up, tho.
and it sounds like you'll be hitting AB, perfect! :3
Found myself a good price on flights, plan is going just as planned etc.
This looks interesting. NOW all you lazy people, who's rather fed up with boring stuff and ready to go 'Con?
*timidly raises hand*
In progress of booking flight tickets over here - the dollar sinks, and so does the prices. I also heard that the low-price airlines don't release their tickets this early anyway, so waitan for the prices to sink is a good idea on the domestic flights - the STO-BOS flight is gonna go now, though.
I RAISE MY VOICE LOUDLY AND SCREAM SOME MORE TO GAIN SOME ATTENTION TO THIS AWESOME THREAD.
COME TO ANIME BOSTON OR DIE--we'll be there and i promise to cosplay as 2k. :3
It's-a-drawing-a-closharrr....
So, since there appears to be some number of New England-ites around the forum, just might as well again raise the question: anyone else going to turn up at AB this year?
i poked bella till her guts spilled out, but she said she's not going to announce anything till she's SURE.
oh, btw, i got my lover-type-person to cos. as XP-kun. :3 nuther for the OS-tram!! >:3
I REALLY wish I could go, but a trip there would be 1,000 or so miles for me... and of course, my family would not let me go on such a road trip just for an anime convention! :(
Seems like we have XP-kun, Visbou-kun (me) and 2k (choco) covered -tan-wise...this should be pretty epic! OWO
I'd love to come, but I have no money or time off to get to Boston. But godspeed to the rest of you!
