xxTemarixx 0 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 YAY! I just pre-reged! XD Now I just have to get my costumes finished. X.x Lots more sewing to keep me busy for 5 & 1/2 more months. Seriously though, I'm really excited about it. It's going to be my first Otakon and I'm just off the wall. I already have 3 "For Sure" cosplays and on top of that, I'm making a rave outfit to match the one, and then have a possible surprise cosplay on top of everything else (If I can get it together in time).

Funny is when you work your butt off for 11 months, then work like a madman for a solid week, to bring other people 3 days of fun, and you don't get to see it yourself.

For some reason, while I was sitting in art class today and totally paying attention (not), I kept thinking about what I did when I waited in line to get into Otakon last year. xD And I don't know whyyy...maybe I drifted asleep or something. o__o I still need to preregister!

Aresef 113 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) Work finally kicked me the vacation/personal pay they forgot to give me for my Japan trip. My bank account isn't double digits now. It's nice. Side note: If I did that trip now instead of January, I would have saved several hundred dollars in airfare and exchange rate stuff. Darn it. That said, you can get from DC to Tokyo for $900 now, which is awesome. Edited March 5, 2009 by Aresef Link to post Share on other sites

Otakumadness 0 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Man I already pullin my hair out cuz we have everything else worked out except for two things, the most important things too, Cash, but we got four months to save, and the really important one a ride Otakon. Man I feel as though I should be signing "it's a long road to Otakon!". Meh I figure something out but I can't wait!!! GEEK-GASM!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
jkid 0 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 The problems I have is saving enough cash for the hotel and for general spending. Due to the credit crisis I have instituted a policy of paying everything in cash. I did this for the last Otakon and will do so this time. My tax refund is helping me with that though. Another one is the cosplay, I'm planning a few new costumes this year. Also, will I actually able to go? Link to post Share on other sites

jkid 0 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 if you live close enough, driving in a friends car that has good gas mileage is a big plus. We've saved hundreds doing it that way, especially when we have E-Z Pass to get through the tolls at the tunnels on 95. Hotels are such a big expense, even with a group Link to post Share on other sites
