-
aw that is sad. Then friday try to stay until at least 8 pm. Then go up to the second floor and look for a bunch of OP cosplayers gathered together.
-
yeah my mom said since i cant probably go saturday i can go to the cake then so it shall be a fun time. ALso does anyone know where to talk to the guests of the con(not members) like the person who did greed in fma. What time do they usually do that stuff?
sorry for noobish questions only 2nd time going to a con and the first one was small. (kunicon denver)
-
lol it is ok, but I unfortunately I do not know that one. XD
-
My mom, (God Bless her soul) is attempting to have me still show up at the party on Saturday. I WILL be in costume if I go.
-
Awesome, I hope to see you there. If you do go, give me a call and I will tell you what room we are in.
-
One of my friends is going to be there, but I'm not…
-
Tell your friend to come say Hi to us!
-
SinceI'm not going to the actual convention and maybe the party, could anyone try to get me Fred Gallagher's autograph? usually I'd do it my self. but due to current circumstances… I have a good Feeling I'll show up to the party. Due to grades on recent papers.
-
well i went man was it fun. Thanks omnichild for the cake it was really good. though man this was A LOT better then kunicon. I bought bleach ds game, naruto ulitamate ninja 2, one piece vol.24, kenshin v.26. Good times. I loved it.
edit: i have never seen so much yaoi for sale in my life ugh >> also there was this really really sweet replica of the death note their. I wanted it so much but it was 28 bucks. Dammit it was so cool ;-;
-
You guys have any pictures? I'm a little interested in what a con looks like.
-
Not Yet. I'm getting mine developed today. I had a GREAT time. Omni, you looked great. The new and improved Chopper/Carue costume was really sweet. I bought an Usopp, Vincent Valintine, and Mugen standup figure. As well as a "Live in your world. Die in mine" Sticker. and OP vol. 10. I wish I had a digital camera insted of those crappy disposable ones.
-

And Throes, did your friend cosplay at all as a One Piece Character.

Um, what exactly IS ACEN?
-
Anime Central, first return from Google.
-
Anime Central, anime convention in Illinois.
Hopefully, I'll be going again this year. Though I'll be going with even more people. (all family.)

That is exciting to hear! You are welcome to hang out with myself and the other One Piece Fanatics. You are also highly encouraged to cosplay as someone from One Piece. Because there is little One Piece love at ACEN.
@ Mr. Prince: ACEN is as Giant Pocky said. An anime convention. It is one of the biggest conventions in the US and although it is very disorganized, it was lots of fun last year.
-
Yaaayy!
I hope to go all three days this year. Is the 40 dollars for a one day pass O_O? If so that's crazy. It wasn't that much last year was it.
I hope to be going again. Last year kicked serious ass.
Man I can't wait.
-
Shit! Theres only one state between me and my first ever anime con. Oh well.
-
I've been Saving up my cash all year for this. Knowing me, I'll prolly be too lazy to cosplay. But still, last year was the BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!! I still have everything from last year. My dad was so pissed at all the fanboys pushing to get into the con. So of course he said I can't go, But I prolly persuade him like last year. Besides, I have friends at an anime highschool club I could prolly go with. I might have to bring my little brother, and even worse, He'll be cosplaying as Kiba. Because he isn't a lazy bastard like his older brother. The most I might do is finish my Galley-La t-shirt and wear it there as a Foreman, I'll have hammers, chisels the whole nine yards. Cause that's easy to do.
Just the tought makes me shiver with excitiment. And, to prevent last year's incident, I'll try to get my folks to let me use the digital.
-
I am too embarassed to cosplay lol.
Are we still going to have that delicious cake like last year for luffy's birthday lol.
Damn that was good cake.
-
@ Warp: $40 is for the whole weekend. However, that is only a tentative set. It could change before they even open up the prereg. (But let's hope they don't do that.)
@ Buuhan: C'mon you know you want to go! You know you want to!
@ DFG: lol a little Kiba? how cute! I can't wait to see him!
-
I hope they change the date of the con. Why did they date it mothers day weekend?
-
@ Buuhan: C'mon you know you want to go! You know you want to!
I do! But I have no way of getting money to get in and buy things, but thats the least of the problem, I have no way of fricken going from Ohio - across Indiana - and landing in Illinois.
-
@ Warp: I know, I am pissed that it is Mother's Day weekend as well. I had to kiss major butt to get that weekend off.
@ Buuhan: um….rob a bank? (not actually recommended.)
-
back from a failed bank robbery
You never told me I'd be chased by cops!!!
-
Damn so there's a possibility that the con wont happen this year b/c of a contract. Come on! Hurry up so we can pre reg already.
-
WAIT. This is in Chicago, right? If so, THAT'S ONLY 300 MILES AWAY SWEET. I should try to go.
-
@ Buuhan.: lol XD Sorry?
@ Warp: No the con will happen. But there just might not be any prereg. lol But if you read the updates in my first post, you will see that the main page of the acen website should be up sometime next week. So that will probably mean that pre reg will be up by then.
@ Throes: Yes! You should come! And you should cosplay as well!
-
Oh well. I'll get to come to a con…someday.
-
ok then! As I stated in the main post of this thread. The rates for Hyatt have been announced as well as the con rates. Be sure to book a room, if you need one!
-
Sounds awesome, too bad there's no way for me.
-
looks Good god, At the door is going to be 50$?!?!?!??! It was only 30$ last year!!! geez, that's going to eat up most of my cash just to get IN!
-
yes, but you also must remember. That not only is the Hyatt remodeling (which drove up the prices MAPS had to pay to them) this is ACEN's tenth birthday. I am sure it will be well worth the fifty bucks.
-
Is it 40 bucks for all three days or one? It's all three days right? If not then what are the prices for three days.
-
It is all three days. XD As far as I am aware (or from what I have seen on the forums.) they have not released the individual day prices yet.
-
Well you originally said for three days, but it said membership in your updated post so I kinda assumed so I thought it might have been one day because I usually call them three day passes XD sorry.
I would love to rent a room XD It's too much for 2 tonights though. =/ Man hotels are expensive.
[not that serious idea]We should all share a room and we spilt the fee =D[/not that serious idea]
-
Would you all fit in the room and keep your lives in the process? XD
-
ok just added the current guest list.
-
Ah, crap! I've always wanted to meet Kyle Hebert. If you guys got to talk to him ask him this for me.
"What the hell ever happened to Kyle TV?!"
-
lol, I will try and meet him just to ask him that question for you.
-
KYLE HEBERT IS GOING TO ACEN?! YES!!
I talk to him online, he's a pretty sweet guy. Now who else will be there? goes to check
-
Alright my loves. I updated the list again. This time it inculdes suite rates. I would recommend booking a room soon or else they might be gone.
-
Damn, I wish I could go. I mean…. Hubert!!!!!!!!!
Omnichild, clean out your PM system! It's full!
-
^ Remember now, it is pronounced "A-Bear". XD
-
@AWB: I cleaned out the pm system. sorry, heh..
Also for those who do plan to go to ACEN and are also planning on going to the Masquerade Ball. This year they are allowing crossplay there!
