Awww, that really sucks, AWB :sad: I was wanting to give you those chibi requests in person at Oni Con ^^ But I guess I'll just mail em to ya when they are done ;p
Any reason you think you can't go, or is it private? (PM?)

Just a few money issues. I'm not sure if I have enough for a two plane rides and a stay in a hotel.
@Pass:
Hoffy, I'm curious just who is Slowpoke supposed to be in your avatar?
It's Candlejack I think, but I could be mista
Your not suppose to say HIS NAME?
@DougyDougyGiro!*:
Your not suppose to say HIS NAME?
Uh…
Someone call Freakazoid.
I think I might just end up driving…
SO
where the hell am i supposed to go to find you guys when i end up lost in the lower intestine of houston
i'm talking a meet up point
What day are you coming? Also, are you taking 290 or I-10?
Indeed. I'll let taboo answer that question regarding the incoming direction.
But I know for a fact I'll be at the hotel Thursday evening for your and her convenience.
So yeah. Find an Asian wearing a Keroro hat and a possible Sogeking/One Piece COSPA t-shirt and chances are it should be me. I tend to hobble from place to place if that makes it any easier. XD
I'll be driving up on Friday
Hmm.. according to google maps, it'll be 45 which merges into I10
dude is that i fast route cause i really need to no. i am going friday i need to get there fast so i can sleep for awhile(i'll be working before)

Hmm…this is gonna be tough.
I think Bushido may know a particular area where we can meet up. I'm sure he knows that western region of Houston better than myself. It's just a hunch though.
Have you gotten the address for the hotel that's connected to the GRB, taboo?
@ SILLS_HEAT: Well, if I remember correctly, you live in the Dallas-ish area.
Taking I-45 South straight down to Houston seems to be the only reasonable route there.
But if you're coming up Friday, traffic might be a bit of a problem.
yeah thanx for the help ho. i hope i don't hit that much traffic so i can see u guys as soon as possible.

Yeah, that's the only way to Houston that I know of as well, so I'll keep in mind to try leaving as early as possible… maybe even that thursday night before... Driving at night may be dangerous, but its way faster and you avoid traffic XD But that is common sense.
I am heading up there Thursday. Pat wanted to see some friends that live in Houston, so I won't have to drive by myself, and I will get to see our friends too. YAY, we haven't seen them in forever, and she cooks such awesome food.
They are gonna drop me off at the hotel on Friday, so I won't have to worry about parking either. I am really looking forward to this. I keep this break in mind when I am trudging through my busy weeks.
@taboo: I'll PM you later on tonight or tomorrow, so we can hammer out the details of when & where to meet up.
@Ms:

You're not the only one that's ready to take a break from reality by going here.
Haha, are you gonna be at the con early on Friday?
If so, I can meet up with you at the lobby or something.
I'd like to get there as soon as I can check in. Not sure what time that is though. I don't want to haul my bags around for 2 or 3 hours.
@Ms:

Check-in for each day starts at 3 PM each day. Check-out is at noon.
I hope this helps ya out. :3
@Pass:
Lets get this started!
I"m flying out to Texas this year just to meet everyone
I didn't know you were thinking of flying over to Houston to attend Oni-Con. It's a shame that I won't be going. I had originally planned on doing so only because a friend of mine was thinking of going and I wanted to meet her there, but that isn't the case.
If you do plan on going, and are in Houston, look me up. Have you been to this city before? You'll like it. And if you need help getting around, just let me know unless you have someone with you that can help.
It would be nice to meat you too, but as I said a few pages back, I can't make it due to money issues.
i will be there as per usual…...... so um..... i'm trying to be as sly about this as possible ................................ Anybody ever have more than per say .... 17 or so people in a regular room ....... and get away with it .... because that is kind of what we are going for
@Pass:

Oops, I missed that part… but I'm sorry to hear that you can't go. Perhaps you could try going to A-kon next year instead? I might consider going, and I very well could be cosplaying as a certain anime character I like very much. I haven't committed to going there, I thought about going to another con like Metrocon so I can see Chris (Usopp With A Pushpop here on the forums).
Wewty Toot~
I am so totally going. =D I am so flipping cosplay my Gun Mage Yuna again. ^-^
Yaaay Jess is going!! Maybe this time we can finally meet XD I should not be hard to spot since I will likely be the only female Smoker (and hopefully the first!)
@pirateneko:

Haha, this reminds me.
Wanted posters should be carried with you with my face on 'em, since you're Smoker. XD
Hmm change of plans maybe. I might be driving down there by myself, in which case I will leave early Thursday morning and drive straight there; or Friday night and get a motel in Dallas. I am getting excited though.
Wanted posters with Hoffy's face on them would be great! XD

My sis and I are planning on leaving Thursday night… So if you need a place to crash on the way, let me know! Instead of paying for a motel XD
Oh and Hoffy-kun~ You should totally take a pic of yourself doing that same pose that Luffy is doing in his Wanted poster! Then I can photoshop it onto the poster and bring it to the con XD
I just read over what I wrote and it doesn't make any sense. I will either leave thursday night, and stop in Dallas, or i will leave Friday morning. Neko you guys are heading to Houston thursday night? Hmmm. Plans still aren't finalized. Why did Pat have to go and do something stupid and miss up my plans?

Just throwing this at ya, but I will be at the hotel in the afternoon on Thursday. I have quite a big number of people rooming with me throughout the weekend, but Thursday is the day where I'm lounging and plotting. >:3
raises hand I'm going! ^_^ I've pre-reg'd and I'm trying to convince people from the Anime club at my school to go.

Yeah, after my sister gets off of work, like after 5 or so. It'd be cool if we all just drove there at the same time, after you get some rest at my place or something ^^
What if you left sometime during the day on Thursday, you can totally come by and hang with me at my place until we leave ^^
Ok. I'll keep that in mind. Pat is wanting to leave early Friday morning. I am still pissed all about it, I don't want to get up early and drive all day. Grr. If he does stay then I think that sounds like a fun plan.
Yes. It would be so much better to leave at night, mainly because there won't be hardly any traffic, and its pretty much a straight shot from Dallas to Houston…
its getting closer by the miniute…...... a lot of people i know are working this year BORING ........ but yeah ......... so i am hoping oni is a more mapped out this year than last

The security staff (if I remember correctly) said that plenty of maps would be available for attendees to have at their disposal to navigate the con without getting lost. So far, the format of all the rooms is somewhat similar to Anime Matsuri's. The Vendor's/Dealer's Room is/almost in the same spot where they had theirs at. I don't blame them either.
I hated having to walk in Luffy's sandals back and forth to get things that I wanted. D:
Yay! Pat is staying here. I can leave a little earlier. I should have enough for another night at the hotel, so I will head down there Thursday. I think I will take Neko up on her offer to hang out in Dallas for a little bit too. XD

If I remember correctly, Huntsville is off of I-45, right? If that's the case, here are directions that cannot fail…

-RIGHT on US-59
-Take 59 into downtown Houston
-Exit onto N Jackson St. (the exit sign will say: George R Brown Convention Center/Downtown Destinations)
-LEFT on Franklin St.
-RIGHT on Hamilton St.
-RIGHT on Capitol St.
-LEFT on Avenida de Las Americas
Ya-ha~ We have arrived!! Ms Cricket my sis and I are crashing at the Comfort Inn for now, until about check-out time at noon. The drive here wasn't as long as I thought ^^
So I guess we shall see all of you sometime in the afternoon?
Heh, we actually passed through Huntsville on our way here, probably like 20 minutes ago.
thanks for the directions Bushi! I guess we'll see where I end up, huh? xD
Heh, we actually passed through Huntsville on our way here, probably like 20 minutes ago.
bitchin'. Did you chuck deuce to big Sam?
Yes. Yes we did. 8D
Right when we were wondering about if we had passed him, he appeared from behind a bunch of trees… lol
..then we passed our hotel three times because we thought we were staying at the Quality Inn instead of the Comfort Inn. Fun Fun at 2 am. XD
Looking forward to seeing everyone today!

Yarr, we are back in Dallas sadly… But it was an amazing con, I had so much fun! Me and Ms Cricket raided all the One Piece stuff we could afford XD Mainly gashapons...
There will be pics eventually, once they are uploaded from my sister's and Ms Cricket's cameras...

Bushido has possession of said drawing.
I think it's going to be shipped out to you if I remember correctly.
Blah, I always dread the post-con deep sleep/exhaustion that most people go through. That, and I'm really happy that I was the only other Luffy cosplayer (other than a Galley-La Luffy from AX 2007) that was noteworthy. As heard accidentally when eavesdropping on some attendees. XD
It was amazing getting to see all of those that I saw at Oni-Con. <3
Where are the pics? :E Rawr haha
Is me and Hoffy Cute together? XP Random I is
