AUSA and Katsucon ran their dances til sometime around 3am these past ones.

If it's an actual fact then why do I know about three couples who met at convention? And have a pile of friends I found at conventions. If you want to make friends, or find a relationship, you might want to work out some of that bitterness you've got going. And anyway, where'd the topic go?

A couple years ago my group got in line around 4 o'clock and the line was already circling the building, we all had sketchbooks and game boys and what not, we met a whole bunch of people in the line that we bumped into quite a few times through out the con, including a guy who stayed in a full chewbaka (sp?) suit for hours and hours... don't know how the guy survived the heat. The years I haven't gofered I've always gotten in around noon, gotten a footlong at the subway in the Gallery, saved half, and gotten in line. And I know it's beating a dead horse... but water. Lots and lots o

I find it rather shocking that this hotel still seems to have alot of rooms left. I would have thought that it would sell out fairly quickly since it is connected to the con center and I think that some Otakon things are going to be held in it. From what pictures I've seen--I'm not local, so I can't actually confirm this--the new Hilton's pretty tiny and has way less rooms than the other hotels in the Inner Harbor. Google says there are 183 guest rooms in the building, compared to the Sheraton's 337, the former Wyndam's 707, the Holiday Inn's 375, or the Day's Inn's 263. Color me co

Whoot for us /a/non girls gettin some love ^.^ Gotta say the male versions not nearly as entertaining. But the girl version already made my day so it's okay

I doubt $1 really makes a difference, but... That $1 could be the difference between you and a nice big bowl of ramen noodles And considering the price of hotel food and NOTHING being open at 2 a.m. that ramen is a necessity

it was about 2 weeks ago, i still have the confirmation email if you want to see. i think hotel caught onto the date and jacked the rates up, i just happened to grab it at a lower rate before it went up The rate went up because the only rooms that are left are the upgraded view rooms, the ballpark and harbor view rooms. The regular ones are all gone. I got a room at the 198 rate months ago directly through Hilton. I was happy to pay the 30 bucks or so to guarantee a two bedded room.

Hotel totals can run anywhere from 200 to over 2000. All depends on how close you want to be, how nice of a hotel you're looking for, how many nights you're staying and that sort of thing. Just remember that whatever base rate you find, like the Hotwire 84 dollar rate and what not, will have the outrageous hotel tax and assorted other hotel fees may be tacked on later. Each year hotels have run around 750 for me for Thursday through Sunday, which is then split between 3 to 8 people. If you'd really like to get an idea on prices I'd recommend just looking through Orbitz and Priceline and s

IIRC, Neko is usually held around early November, but don't hold me to that. *checks website, just in case* Yup, November 6-8 this year. ^^; Anime Next is in June in Somerset, NJ. ^.^

w0000000000000t XD If Katsu was your first con, then Otakon is gonna be a HUGE, but pleasant, surprise ^.^ Having been to otakon three times now, AUSA twice, and Katsu once.... I've gotta say Otakon is a completely different experience from any of them. Hope all of you enjoy your first times coming!

I've been saying the exact same thing AUSA being the desert.

And we all love you bunches for it

FIVE months not six! -sigh- I almost had a meltdown thinking I had been counting wrong D:

I know the feeling, I'm lucky if I even nap the week leading up. There's so much to do and plan and finalize... who has time for sleep?
