I need to secretly pray to the vacation gods that one of the doctors will go on vacation on Otakon postmonday so I don't have to go home on Sunday! It could work!

He just wants to eat crap again!! <3s Hyde.

It's possible there will be something else to do thursday. No, I'm not saying anything more just yet.

See this is why I always say: Pre-reg line IS the Thursday Event.

Personally, I'm a huuuuuuuuuuuge fan of the Rite Aid. It's now located on Baltimore Street right off the corner of Calvert Street. Or.. If you are FACING the Raddisson keep walking down the street going right for like two and a half blocks. It's around the corner from the McDonalds on Calvert. I don't remember it being very crowded last year.

Wait in line as a group and pee/do errands in shifts?

A year ago before Otakon 08, I went to see MacBeth (Patrick Stewart is Epic Win Forever!) and walking to the train station heard the group ahead talking about cons (otakon as well) and such and anime and I was like "Hahaha Otakon is EVERYWHERE!"

Like alabaster, I've never gotten the DR line wait thing either. I mean, the room is open 6-8 hours most of the weekend so I don't know what the line for when it opens is for unless its just the desire to be first ones in?/Giddiness to shop? I mean, when I attend I put programming/events more priority over shopping, but then I have friends who go mostly just to shop at the DR and go to like three events all weekend. I guess I always see the DR line as the most uneccessary one? But I think what happens is the line-waiting becomes something a con-tradition/social norm

Here's the thing I was thinking of as I read this thread....if we ever did pre-reg events (and I mean that in the MOST hypothetical sense), based on what I've seen of the pre-reg line as both an attendee and staff....people would still probably line up very early and there would STILL be a line, even knowing they had a spot/seat. People who pre-reg KNOW they have a badge, they've paid for their membership...but most still choose to camp out Wed night/Thurs morning anyway. What's to say this won't happen if there was a pre-reg for events? Every con has lines, this is unavoidable, an

Everytime I say I'll have money for Otakon I never do. I should stop jinxing myself like that. ^^; Ideally, if I were to buy things I like to have $100 to spend in the Dealer's Room because there are manga titles I've been eyeing. I've learned to feed myself on a budget in downtown Baltimore, so usually my ideal minimal budget for Ota is like $150. I still budget like the broke college student I was I guess.

This is the first year I'm going to Katsucon, but it's pretty much to help out at the Otakon table. ^^;

I find "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" by WHAM! to be a good starting song for the trek to Otakon. Slayers music is always a great bet, Fire Bomber as well. But then I'm also the girl who'll sing along to the Memorial Song Box set of albums from Sailor Moon. Come one, who doesn't love the now seemingly defunct image song?
