ACEN 2015 Mega-Thread - [Room List Update March 21]

[at0m]

I'm planning on having my Fallout Vault Scientist costume done for Dragon*Con this year, and can bring it to ACEN if someone else wants to do one from Fallout, otherwise I'm leaving it at home.

I'm planning on having my Fallout Vault Scientist costume done for Dragon*Con this year, and can bring it to ACEN if someone else wants to do one from Fallout, otherwise I'm leaving it at home.

I'm thinking about it! I was thinking a Boomers costume or something sans pipboy because I don't have the time or expertise to make one in time.

Actually, I have a lab coat, maybe I can do a researcher outfit...

[at0m]

Mine's jumpsuit, new soon-to-become-ratty lab coat, boots, (hopefully) gloves, PiP-Boy, (hopefully) God-Gun pistol and (double hopefully) holster. I'm not putting a number on my jumpsuit because the scientists' numbers aren't visible.

I've got a good buddy who's doing a raider, plan is to wander around the con at Dragon*Con like he took me hostage or some nonsense.

Since room block is soon, would people be available for a meeting on 8/15 (alt. 8/16) likely in the evening around 8pm CST to discuss initial planning for next year

Reminder Meeting Tomorrow, 8pm CST

[rumbot]

this might still be a terrible idea

OP Updated with meeting notes, room block, SOON

[TronPaul]

I will be bringing my tiny laptop and a hard drive again. If you want me to download anime to bring to the con, let me know. If you want a list of the anime I have, let me know.

If it's a usb3 hdd, bring it and I'll just snag whatever you bring off it

Also, if someone wants to try to snag a Panorama Suite as a 'backup', I may have trouble getting a room because the block opens DURING Dragon*Con

Sign me on for a room, I'm willing to pay a little extra so I get my own bed this year.

[kaese]

I'm planning on snagging a double again this year for Thu-Sun w/ probably same roommates. Maybe room for one more if Pixels likes you enough

[zaneyard]

If the dates are indeed 15th-17th that will be the weekend after finals again. So I have a tentative schedule ok. I guess it depends on how much cash I have after the end of this school year.

Still nothing posted yet, keep an eye on the site...something tells me they might have pushed it back, but keep checking the main page + twitter + facebook

We still planning to call Monday to see if they super-stealth opened the block?

The question from there then is....what time?

Maybe staggered?

Ill plan to post an action plan on Sunday for us to at least "check" on Monday via phone calls

There has been no update on social media or their forums/website. Please call in at your leisure tomorrow and post results here, you must call the hotel directly to try to make a reservation, mention the 'Anime Central Room Block' for  May 14-17th 2015

They posted a link last night to their RSS, Hyatt opened at midnight http://www.acen.org/content/hotel-information

I tried texting/calling those of you who I think are running rooms, nobody but HeK answered. Gotta call and mention ACEN / Midwest animation promotion, passkey website says no availability, but the block is open and all the suites are already gone!

I've got a double/double for Thurs-sun for 180/night and cancelled my backup reservation.

GLHF everyone

I called in and was told that the reservation block was locked until Sept 2 'morning'.
The attendant says she attempted to book regardless and the system did not let her.

She also said that the notes on the block initially said that it was to be available at midnight Sept 1st, but was changed.

Advised to try throughout the day and Wed morning.

Thanks for the call, I would have forgotten otherwise.

Called in to Hyatt reservations, they said I'd have to contact the Regency O'Hare directly because of the event booking. Did that, and the agent said that, being Labor Day, those people wouldn't be in until tomorrow. *shrug*

Will try again later today, just in case.
