@ MoonNeko & Coral: Having the carpet look ugly in photos is one thing.
Being dragged on it and getting really bad carpet burn is another. =_=;;

Ohh, Lisa! When you are here, we could try to run and go shopping for a strapless bra for your costume. It would probably be best to have you present for that. ^_^

wants to now see Hoffy dragged on that hidious A-Kon carpet
I'll SO take pictures Lynn but I want a good one of you and me ;3; for… obvious... reasons xDDDD MWAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

what, for my chopper cosplay? I already bought one for my nadia cosplay. I was thinking of just getting a brown tank top with spaghetti straps for underneath chopper. (we'll see how hot I get) besides, I dunno if we will have time? I'm coming thursday evening and the con starts friday.
I'm gonna be up at like 6am my time, I think to have lots of time to get to the airport and I'm gonna be traveling all day. I got 3 flights before i reach dallas, so I might be tired. (or pumped with adrenaline, but knowing me, I'll go with tired)
I was wondering, is your place air conditioned? Trying to figure out how warm or cool pj's to bring. and is there any reason i should be bringing nice clothes to go out or something? or just whatever?
So were you working on my costume is why your asking? can I pay ya when I come down instead of wasting stamps on mailing it out to ya? I figure it will help you pay for your portion of the hotel. :)
….ha ha i'm getting all excited

patpats Poor Hoffy. I don't know how I'd feel about that.. but.. not very good I'd assume xDD OH GOD.. were they on your stomach o___o gahh I hope not xDDDDDD
Still not feeling great, why don't you fucking GO AWAY SICKNESS?? I am SOOO TIRED of being drained and feeling like crap =_=
Getting ready to go to bed.. then HOPEFULLY get up early enough to work on SOMETHING T_____T

That's already happened to the poor guy. Had a massive burn on his back because of his wonderful friends. LOL. Don't wish it on it him again.
CU: Yes our place has AC. I wouldn't worry about bring nice clothes. Probably just get pizza or something Thursday night, and just chill here. Bring money to eat at akon.
XD -
It's probably a BAD IDEA to try to EAT at the con though o___o If you guys are commuting anyways it's probably a good idea to just eat at home, especially if you don't want to blow a lot of money on expensive carryout food. That's probably the one thing I HATE about cons especially since I don't know the area and don't live there, is that I always have to call in chinese delivery or pizza. Gets VERY PRICY and also irritating if you have to try and find out what everyone wants, order it, and PRAY they get the order right after spending about 2 hours waiting on it because everyone ELSE at the con has ordered from them too xD
Thankfully though at Akon there's a McDonalds, a Taco Bell, and some really delicious yet expensive chinese restaraunt thing inside the mall connected to the con. Get Taco Bell the first day though, they ALWAYS sell out and have to close down xD LOL

We're staying in a room, though, MoonNeko. Commuting is like, hella gas money! XD Even for us!
-
hey it'd be a lot cheaper on gas for you guys than gas for us xD unless somehow a comute back and forth for the weekend would equal more than 8 or 9 hours worth of driving that we'll end up doing heading down there and back… that'd be a hell of a comute xDDD
I just can't wait for A-Kon =3=! and yet I can considering how much of a BITCH it is to finish all the details I'm trying to finish... DAMN YOU DUVAL!! You're the LEAST of my worries but it's still taking forever Dx
-

Why not use DART, and save the gas and parking ten times cheaper then Room, gas and parking combine
for me from arlington, it costs $67.68 to commute, thats cheeper then paying for my part of the room and parking last year.
This is true xDD
It's not like Akon hotels ae super cheap or anything, I'm just thankful to have roommates this year XD One year it was just my sis and my faggot ex and myself.. THAT WAS FREAKIN' EXPENSIVE O_____O
You can do it sis! I have faith you can get Duval done!
-
Because our room is only $44 this year per person and the DART rails are still pretty far from where we live.
And we have a lot of crap. So we'd have to be driving anyway and it's quicker and more convenient to just drive.

That is one of the few good things about A-Kon; the Westin food court is nearby (with a covered walkway to boot), but the security is almost gestapo like when it comes to entering there with a prop sword, cane, weapon (etc….)
Still trying to get the Yuber swords completed on time....
I forgot whomever suggested me for Bege Capone....the idea intrigues me; but there is no way I could afford it right now....

We're staying in the freaking hotel because the best part of any con is staying in the rooms with friends and the room parties. Everything else is usually kinda boring, except walking around in cosplay for a while and the dealers room. I go to see my friends and hang out. Seriously why is it any concern of yours anyways? Yeah we live in Dallas, but it would still be a pain in the ass to drive home at 3 in the morning, especially if you've been drinking like i intend to do. Also, the rails stop running after midnight, and it would suck having to leave at 10.
Hmm what color dress should i get for him this year? Red, Pink. I still want to get him in a schoolgirls outfit. That sounds ADORABLE!!!!

WHOA WHOA WHOA.. dude.. it's OKAY, chiiiiiiil. No ones attacking you, so no need to go and get all defensive :) I personally HATE Akon's hotel and wish to god they had it more organized, but there's not a whole lot else you can do about it xD I blame the staff mostly, and not all of them, just the douches…which sadly.. is a great majority who make the really nice and good workers look bad x_x;
And man.. I really.. seriously.. SERIOUSLY wish.. that Akon had freakin' microwaves in their expensive ass hotel. Why Akon?? WHY!!!????!!!!!!!
AND GEDDOE!!! LOVING THE ICON!!!!!!! And Yeah.. Bege would be sooo damn right for you to cosplay xD Maybe some other time? I'm sure my sis would love love love to help you make the awesome captain's jacket, but right now it's sooo close to Akon and she has a million things to do, there's just not time XD
Akon.. why are you only 20 days away.. WHY???? xDDD Sooo close I can just about smell the con funk from here.. Mmmm.. take it alllllll in xDD
-
I am not being defensive, but after five or six post of you guys basically trying to convince us how stupid it is of us to not commute, I just let you know the reason why we are staying at the hotel.
i've never thought the hotel was bad, except for the elevators and the idiots who try to run them. Seriously just walk by them and they yell at you to stay in line. Other than that, i've always liked it. Big, always something going on. I love that it's connected to the mall thing via the skywalk. And that food court is no different that any other mall food court. I've only seen the McDonalds close down.
-
OH man, Taco bell usually gets ANNIALATED EVERY SINGLE YEAR XD Every year I've gone at least. I don't think I've ever gotten to eat Taco Bell at Akon.
Animefests hotel is sooooo much nicer though x_x; Even though it's just my honest opinion, I hate having to deal with the elevator delays, especially if you have more than one thing you want to change into .. oh dear god.. this year is gonna be bad for my sis and I xD We are insane already, but crap. I'm just hoping that the shoots get straightened out so I'll know what to change into x_x;; my sis and I are both gonna be doning the Usopp nose ironically enough xDDDDDD Oh man.. is that gonna be priceless.
My god.. how am I gonna sleep NOW.. xD
-
I don't think they were dissing you guys. I just think they were curios. :) I knew we were going for the fun of it. I didn't know about the commuting and costs, and public transit ending at midnight and all that. that all makes sense. :)
(if they were buggin ya, then you can laugh at them at Akon when they're tired as hell and have to comute home and you don't) XD

Ahaha xD I've got to say, I'd be SERIOUSLY FREAKIN' TIRED commuting EVERY DAY from Muskogee, OK, to Dallas TX, you are definately right about that XDDD dies I say there's nothing wrong with anyone commuting, and nothing wrong with anyone staying in the hotel. It's a personal preference really, and for someone such as myself, I don't live in the area, so staying in the hotel is the easiest for me XDD But yeah Captain Usopp, commuting back and forth from Muskoge to Dallas would definitely leave me tired x_x;; 5 hours of commuting would leave ANYONE tired xDDDDDD

I think on Thursday we're gonna drive down from our shithole, get dressed into Burgess and Doc Q, then head to the con and actually get there before the pre-reg line gets too out of hand x_x;;
We're actually heading to our friends house first, then we're driving back over to the con to park, and she's gonna take us back to her house so we dont' have to get a hotel on Thursday night x_x;; I'd thought about it..but I didn't wanna fork out ANY more money for that hotel than I had to. We should all go to Rice Mountain though, cause THIS time I'll know not to order my rice with onions or bean sprouts xDDD That rice was really freakin' good though o__o I think I'd had a dream about it XDDDDDDDD
god.. now I'm REALLY hungry, thanks Captain Usopp ;___; Feed me XDDD
looks at Lynn I'm sorry I suck xDD LMAO
-
thank god we're not paying for a hotel for thursday x__x; once we get through the pre-reg line… which I hope doesn't take long Dx usually you better go ahead and count on spending the entire rest of your night in it.
I want to take pictures then get the FUCK out of there until Friday xD thursday night is usually REALLY boring xD
-
oh god.. pre-reg. I'm PRAYING that my work gives me that Thursday off..never tried to pre-reg on Friday before.. might be hell on earth as we know it.
-
moonneko god i'm dreading the elevators. Especially on sunday. Last year I got fed up with waiting, and lugged my stuff down 20 flights of stairs. I was so sore the next day. It was worth it to see everyone again. XD And we must go to rice mountain again. Got to take the canadian there.
-
i'm sorry moon. i'll make you a sub when i get to work. and the pre reg line is gonne be long
T_T. so i gotta fly all day then wait in a big ass line. that's not fun. and rice mountain sounds fun. my friends call me hungrygirl. i likes food. -
Well I just bought my ticket right now so I am for sure going to Akon :D hopefully I can have my Ramon cosplay done in time and at least fix up my PKMN Trainer outfit.

I totally need to ride my suitcase down the stairs like a pushcart or something.
Already in the process of altering my jeans into Luffy shorts and etc.
Just need to get the issue with the blue vest settled and I'm all set.@ Ms Cricket: If you guys can seriously find a really nice skirt, I'll pimp that out at A-Kon, 'fo realz. XD
-
YAY!! Toshiya, I am so happy you got your ticket. I'm excited about finally meeting my other little brother. XD
Hoffy, you know I'll do it. Might do some shopping this weekend. Can i get the baggy socks too?
XD

may i ask for more details on hoffy's carpet burn? was this all shinanigins or something? That doesn't sound very nice that he got bad rug burns :( I would hope that if I yelled stop it hurts, my friends would listen. or maybe they just got carried away with having fun?
-
I'm pretty sure Ho was inebriated at the time. <3

I've never tried Quizno's..
Quizno's is good….there is a Blimpie's at the Westin - Blimpie's > Quizno's

Having worked pre-reg the last two years I can tell you the line is generally long and slow even on Thursday….

A Ramon cosplay, any KOF cosplay is OK in my book….

Ho was at the peak of sobriety at the time, the others on the other hand….

Yeah, I was totally sober while that happened.
Carpet burns are the end result of smack talking MJ into oblivion, post Friday night mayhem and into Saturday morning if I remember correctly.
Let's just say I drifted along the hotel room floor and almost got dragged out of it. Good thing I held onto the door tightly.
! Walking around with it as Thriller Bark Luffy was not fun, as the vest kept touching/sticking the exposed area. I swear, the things that happens at cons (to someone and/or myself is what makes hanging out with everyone worthwhile and overly epic. XD
-
The funniest part.. is that you were completely sober.. xDDDDDDDD You guys have too much fun! Does MJ still have the mohawk? I am sooo saddened I never got to see it ;______;

brush off shoulder
Anyway I got the new zipper cut for Fukoru and gonna message Alyssa to see if she wants to hang out.BTW Spork when did you want to do the colorwalk?
Yeah taco bell is good but I would rather go eat Quiznos
! Ms. Cricket,
! May I frist say that none of those posts were directed to you.
I have not been trying to covinceing anyone to do anything, I have merely be stating given facts about costs of Commuting vs Staying in the Hotel.
If you would like I can give you a line item break down of how I came up with such figures.
! If staying at the hotel and partying is your thing, then by all means do what you do. I am not saying you shouldnt or couldnt if you commuted, there are ways to do it.
! As far as concern it goes back to my earlyer point of, "those posts were directed to you"
and also that the figures were done for general knowlage purposes and for future referencetotally wondering if that 'alyssa' is me.
totally.
also, I've saved up some serious ca$h for this, so if any one I hang out with wants to eat some were, I follow :O Gotta get use to be on my own any way.
mov'n to manhattan in August.

yes, I got in to the Fashion Institute of Technology, which is in Manhattan, with dorms across the street. Strangely, staying 1 year there is cheaper than all the instate colleges here. (and no, I don't do fashion, I'm going to major in illustration.)
Zomg I can't wait either X3!! super excited!! and hopefully, I get to come to the next A-kon after this… Ikkicon is out of the quesiton because I know for sure I'll be in school during it. ;.;
