Otakon 2014 - CaffeinePowered - 08-15-2013
If anyone is considering going at all....
Aug 8 - 10 2014
Supposedly hotel reg is opening on the 19th, so if we could grab days for the 7th - 10th at the Hilton that would be best. I got lucky this year but I think anyone who wants to attend would like to avoid the ACEN stealth release fiasco that just happened.

*bump*
4 weeks to go
Re: Otakon 2014 - at0m - 07-10-2014
I'm going to cancel my room reservation unless someone wants it. I've got until July 18th.
Re: Otakon 2014 - Evil Cheese - 07-10-2014
What's the headcount look like? How many people are planning to come and how many rooms do we have?
Re: Otakon 2014 - Live-Free-Or-Pie - 07-10-2014
I have an offsite hotel room a few block north of BCC
Re: Otakon 2014 - rumbot - 07-10-2014
For Thurs, Aug 7, the night before the con, I have a...1 BEDROOM BALCONY SUITE WITH HOMEPLATE VIEW
paging at0m, Surf, Pie, Zargon, Crow, Cheese, Caff, Rose, etc.
I will bring a guitar (or 2 if needed), CAH, and a dry-erase marker (or 2).
Re: - Live-Free-Or-Pie - 07-10-2014
Yes
Re: Otakon 2014 - RoseSpirit - 07-10-2014
I'll be there! ;D Planning to get in around 4ish?
Re: Otakon 2014 - Duck, Duck, Goose - 07-10-2014
I really want to go to one of these, but $300+ for travel is way outside of my budget... (and that's excluding whatever other expenses I may incur that weekend)... fuck I need to win a lottery or at least get a job that pays more than 36k/year if I'm working full-time (which I don't).
Shit, if I had that kind of money, I'd have a real computer...
Re: - at0m - 07-10-2014
Pie, if you'd rather have a double double in the con hotel, drop me an email or something and we can work it out.
Rummy, if I'm in town I'm down.

Hmm this is like under 2 hours away from me I wonder if it will be feasible to skip getting a hotel and just drive back and forth.
Re: Otakon 2014 - RoseSpirit - 07-11-2014
That implies about 4 hours of driving every day plus con activities, sounds exhausting to me!

At first, my wife was excited for Sailor Moon Crystal. Then she remembered that she staffs the kareoke room. I told her to sell raffle tickets for the chance to sing Moon Pride. Our friend Rob, instead, suggested renting pitchforks and torches.

I'm tentatively down. I still need to verify if that weekend is free for me.

I'm fairly certain I'm a no go:Â I'm on orders every weekend this month, and it looks like every weekend next month except the 8th, which i will spend sleeping.Â
Brigade level staff positions stuck- it's almost like being deployed, but without the excitement of being shot at, or the satisfaction of shooting back.Â
Re: Otakon 2014 - at0m - 07-18-2014
FYI I swapped my room over to Pie, and he's looking for roommates to split the tab, it's a reservation for a room with two double beds on Friday night & Saturday night. Surf, I'm looking at you.
If I'm in town at all that weekend, I'll try to make an appearance (I bought a badge back in March, so that money's already spent), but I'm not feeling super optimistic about life right now so I don't know what the chances of that are going to be. With my luck, they'll send me to bumfuck Mexico that weekend.
Re: Otakon 2014 - Live-Free-Or-Pie - 07-22-2014
Room still has space, please let me know if interested.
Re: Otakon 2014 - Surf314 - 08-04-2014
Soooooo the wife an I have to work Thursday and Friday and she has to work Saturday until 11. We are a no-go for the con because it is way too steep to pay $160 for two half days of attendance.
However, we are down to go to Baltimore for Saturday night shenanigans. Is there a meet-up or something we could *uhhh* meet up with you guys for?
