Ah My Goddess Season 1 Complete: 45$
-
So, when's the 2009 deadline? I know it's early, but you can never be too prepared .
Anybody else already started for next year?
-
I'm thinking of entering an AMV in their contest (would be my first contest). I want to start out small but not too small. NYAF seems nice and in the middle.
-
HUGE umbrellas please. I wanted one but you didn't have any this year.
-
Wanted Haruhi badge. LOL
-
Oooh I did!! It was fun. Wish I could've stayed for the trivia game, though.

Got a room at the Hilton
-
Place I stayed: Harbor Court Intercontinental Hotel
Number of people in room: 3
Hotel Staff: Friendly...? Front desk staff was the only helpful people, everyone else was not that informative.
Walk to the con center: About 10-12 minutes with someone with bad knees, probably 7-10 minutes for anyone else
The bad: Almost $1400 for the three nights. Not even a harbor view. Yeah I know its a 5 Star hotel, but seriously. NOT WORTH IT. Can't hook up a portable DVD player to the TV. Internet Was $4 dollars FOR AN HOUR, and $12 for a day. Rollaway (which I called for in the early afternoon and didn't get until midnight) was $30 A NIGHT, which was definitely not worth it because I woke up with a very sore back. There were hardly any other con goers in this hotel (I wonder why?) which made it kind of boring.
The good: Room was decently sized and the lobby was very pretty. Beds were comfy too(not rollaways).
Would you stay there again?: Fat chance. Already booked the Hyatt, which I was in last year and enjoyed so much more.
-
Booked my Hyatt room on Monday! Not at Otakon price though, that was gone. Had to stay in the Harbor Court Intercontinental this year, not fun. 5 stars my eye!
Any chance of Hilton rooms coming available? It pay the money plus my cancelation fee if there were rooms.

How many of you got a Squishable? That was probably the best valued thing I purchased lol.
I could not find a father hat ANYWHERE! Did anybody get one?
Anyway heres what I got:
DVDs:
Kaleido Star New Wings True Star Collection Box- $40 at the ADV booth
DNAngel Box- $65 ath the ADV booth
Gunslinger Girl Box- $35 at some booth whose name has been forgotten (sorry)
Ah! My Goddess Box- $55 at the same forgotten booth
Gurren Lagann vol 1- $20 at a different booth whose name I can't remember
Otakon stuff:
2 Tshirts
Funny story: I bought one for my dad and my mom wanted me to break her hundred dollar bill, so I gave it to the guy and he gives me $4 and change. So I'm like "I gave you a hundred" but he can't get in the cash drawer without a transaction, but then finally a staffer had a key. There was the hundred, sitting on top of the twenties lol.
Plushies:
Squishable Bunny (they were out of pandas)
Goomba
?Box
Shenron
Goten
Buu
Hello Kitty (for momma)
The new Hilton will suck when the O's are in town

I don't think the lights will be a problem. I'm so excited to be staying there this year. In 07 I was in the Hyatt which was great. In 08 I stayed in the Intercontinental and let's just say it wasn't great. Very long walk to and from BCC/harbor. The Hilton should be great, though.
