I am bringing the hot dog suit… I'll be roadtripping in a rented van, so I really won't have room for costumes.
@AWB: Just don't do anything to turn me on. :ninja:

Wouldnt you be hot as hell in that suit? XP We could of done Asura Zoro If pirateneko was coming. XP
Excruciatingly hot, yes. But I'm used to heat, having lived in Texas most of my life.
Damn Yea Texas heat is worse than Cali >>; At least we be next to a Beach ;D

Then, we're driving back to Austin & picking up the owners of Anime Depot, and then roadtripping to Baltimore for OTAKON!!! I get to go to AX & OTAKON for free!!! I'll also be at the Ikkicon booth at Otakon! This is going to be amazing.
I won't be there for AX, but I'll try to catch you at Otakon!
NOICE!!! I'll give you some sort of free Ikkicon merch or something. XD
