-

-
the cons usually start of Friday, why Saturday this year?
-

Labor Day Weekend.

"The Cons"? Kumoricon started on Friday once and then started on Saturday once. I'd say that's good odds.
The rules other cons work by don't apply to Kumoricon, great con of Labor Day Weekend!
-
Try the great on 'on' Labor day. Anime LasVegas is going on the 3-5 too.
-
o0o thats good as long as it starts before school starts ^^ hehe
-
o0o0h yah' cause i was like "school..."
-
Heheh yeah...I'm not sure but school starts the either the 6th 7th or 8th haha I'm not sure on that either >.<
-
School for me starts on the Wensday after the con...
-
Since Labor Day is a holiday, all schools (unless it's a weird thing like University of Portland) have that day off.
-
o0o0h yah' cause i was like "school..."
I remember a lot of people talking about that last year on the forum. I think some people couldn't go because their parents wouldn't let them go on a trip like that so close to the school year.
-
I posted something of that matter on last years forum. T_T I was like 'It starts on the day school starts!' and I later found out I had been looking at an old Caleder and I felt like a fool.
I could have gone, but I was too stupid.
-
wow school kinda messes things up >.> hmm even though it still starts before school.....I wonder if the con can be moved a couple days back hehe ^^ just an idea like maybe next year or something
-
There are several reasons why we chose this date:
1. Portland is geared towards business conventions, so holiday weekends are cheaper for us at the hotels.
2. Starting on Saturday gives people who work during the week a chance to come without missing any time.
3. Because Monday is a holiday, it's cheaper to have the stuff we rent to be taken down Tuesday morning than Monday night.
We've talked about doing a 4-day con, but until we reach a staffing size that can support it, we won't be doing that.
-
;DD You know what would be cool? If Kumoricon got as big as Sakuracon or AX (haha, without the Man Faye).
But the rules werent extreme and the staff was nice. :D
-
4 day would be bloody awesome O.O
-
Yeah it would okie....on the sheet for the guardian to sign...the consent form it says...I grant permission for______blank(the person acting as an guardian.....Okay would it be possible for myslef to act as my own guardian....beacuse I would be the minor attendee....so if I'm going bymself can I sign both of my names for the guardian and the attendee
-
can't believe this one managed to sneak by me without noticing it... sorry about that! =^>.<^=
If you aren't 18 or older, you cannot grant permission to yourself to act as your own guardian. It kind of defeats the purpose of the consent form. It's kind of like asking yourself if you can borrow your friend's car. Sure, it's okay with you, but it might not be okay with the person in charge (namely the car's owner).
What you cando is have your parent or guardian grant permission for you to act as your own guardian, and then they sign the release form. If the parent is granting the permission, then you're okay. But you can't grant yourself permission.

Heheh sorry >.<
Yeah thats okay.....so my parent can grant me permission for myself to act as a guardian okie then thanks and I guess you can lock it.....even though you dont really need my permission...sorry and thanks
-
Addendum to that... remember that if you are under 13 you will need a parent/guardian there at all times, consent form or not (though I'm guessing that isn't a problem in this case)

Woot! Kumoricon 4 days long! If that ever happens, they should make it so it still ends on Labor Day weekend, most people go back to school the day right after. I had to last year because I was going into wonderful Freshman year, but this year I get to sleep in while the new Freshman go in. :roll:
I was so tired at school right after the con, it sucks.

Okie well i know how much it is I just want to know is that for 3 days or is it only just for one day...It didnt say on the main page how many days it was so yeah....
Does any one know what is wrong here?
-
I don't get your meaning, Guest. Do you mean that the website still sucks and it's still difficult to get critical information from it? Yeah, we know, and we're working on that.
