-Personal Stats- Name (First name or Alias):: Michelle Age:: 20 Male or Female:: Female Do you need sleep at a con? Depends on REM cycles. Ideally I'd like about 6 hours, but I realize that's a lot to ask. Drink or smoke:: No, not usually. Tell us about yourself:: I'm pretty chill, I don't do much flailing about, though I do get excited over some things. I'm a pretty big gamer and I'm more likely to recognize game characters than anime characters. I can be shy at first, but that's pretty normal.

I'm hoping to have at least 3 new costumes sewn too. Yay!

A lot of people seem to have complaints about the lights being on. You may want to look into the Hilton's policy on lighting, as that may be another deciding factor. My only fears are the technical aspects of it. How are the acoustics in the ballroom? Would the DJs be able to have better quality music in the current location or in the ballroom? Will people be able to find the new location easily? A 'ballroom' implies a more elegant, controlled environment, unlike the madness that typically occurs at raves. Sound control is another issue. Will anyone be disturbed by the loud music and bass
