Akicon.... aka bro-fest 2010

[Dubaby]

I know con just ended, but so far it seems like plenty of cool bros are going.... so come on, who's in for a baller weekend?

[oslapedo]

ME, YO. I'll probably cosplay from .hack//SIGN, Kumatanchi, and maybe SP if everyone else does and I fix my ouftit!

[FateChooseMe]

I'm totally going, for Jenna!
I might just be a Variant of Miku, or  maybe Manuela Hidalgo from Resident Evil.
Something easy. Aha.

[RoscoeTEHclam]

I'm planning on taking a BROvan up there and renting some BRO hotel rooms

[Dubaby]

ME, YO. I'll probably cosplay from .hack//SIGN, Kumatanchi, and maybe SP if everyone else does and I fix my ouftit!

I will love you forever..... I don't know who you've been considering but you'd be an adorable Mimiru.

[~boogiepop~]

BEST CON EVER AMIRITE??
It'll be as excellent as last year. I'm so stoked to chill out with all of the bros that didn't go to Kumoricon.
So far my schedule is lookin' like this...
Ushi-Oneesan from Kumatanchi, Makomo from Pokemon Black and White, Ramona Flowers from the Scotty P. game, and Kumatora from Mother 3.

I HOPE WE CAN GO FFFFFFFFFF

[oslapedo]

That's hilarious, I am going as Mimiru! SO PUMPED.

SHAY WE CAN, ME, YOU, AND COLLEEN CAN SHARE A ROOM WITH KRIS (the Magnet Luka) AND TWO OTHER GIRLS, SO SIX OF US. WE JUST NEED TO FIND A RIIIDE.

Once everyone figures out if they're going or not Nikki then I will be figuring out a SP cosplay to do.... BUT I WILL DO ONE!

[nikkiolie]

I plan on going

[EveofAbyss]

I've never been to Akicon, so can one of you give me a rundown on what Akicon looks like based on past years? How is it size-wise compared to Kumo, and is it communal-feeling? All that good stuff?

[DancingTofu]

I'll be there so it'll be about twice as bro as last year. (conservative estimate)

[~boogiepop~]

Akicon is pretty fricken small, I'd say about half the attendees of Kumoricon. It was overall a pretty chill con though. Lots of pretty awesome cosplay, places to just sit and talk, funny panels. I loved it. I'm sure it was like Kumoricon when it was first starting up. It's only it's 3rd year.

[DancingTofu]

Nah Kumoricon was really sloppy when it was first starting up (still is in some ways).  Akicon's really insanely well coordinated from what I've heard and seen.

[Dubaby]

I'll be there so it'll be about twice as bro as last year. (conservative estimate)

Yes quite conservative... after working out the calculations I've found that there should be a 112% increase in the level of how "bro" the con is upon your arrival when compared to last years readings.

[DancingTofu]

Wow I use facebook too much.  I just tried to "like" that post

[nikkiolie]

there is about 1500 people that go if I remember correctly.I have never been one for panels so I always hung out in the lobby or the dealers hall. It is very laid back and quite relaxing. Oh and did I mention they have scenery set up for photo shoots? Yeah, they have a street one, a winter one, and a Japanese park type thing. Since it is so small you get the feeling that you know a lot of people there. Only two of my close friends went last year so I had fun but not as much as I could have. This year it looks like a bunch more may try to go so it may be way better.

[EveofAbyss]

Hmm, I'll have to check it out then. Sounds like a rollicking good time. Thanks for the pointers, all.

[nikkiolie]

You should! I want to hang out with you again :3

[EveofAbyss]

Yeah, we'll see! It'd be great to see you and the crew again. I've got to do at least one con in 2010, haha

And the fact that they got Yong Bosch, and only in their third year, both baffles and excites me. I've been hoping he'd come to Kumoricon for years.

[JuneJoyHeart]

I'm planning on taking a BROvan up there and renting some BRO hotel rooms

no brodowns?

[~boogiepop~]

TD Bros, we need to create a sweet ass playlist of songs for this con.

[RoscoeTEHclam]

Tofu, are you planning on riding in the BROvan?

[Gryffinclaw Princess]

Supposedly I'll be going to this.
I'll be rooming with oslapedo, Shay, Fate, Kameko, Kanon, Roscoe and some other chick. So yeah, we're a full ass room but it will be awesome~<3

I just need to work out transportation.
I can't leave until after 2pm cause my last class ends at 1:40 and it's math...and I REALLY don't want to miss my math class. :/
I only have two classes on Thursday which is Math and Drama so it's not too bad since my other class gets out at 7:10pm but it's only on Monday and Wednesday.
But travel time would be late in the day for me because of it. :/

[oslapedo]

Not sure if I'll be able to go after all and my forum account over there is being weird, does anyone know if it's possible to get your money back for pre-reg?

[~boogiepop~]

Yeah, they are pretty cool about it. I remember I had problems last year and thought I couldn't go and they were fine with switching the pre reg onto other people, giving me the money back, and stuff like that.

[Dubaby]

I generally don't use their forums since they're always either dead or glitchy.

I hope you can go. =[

[oslapedo]

I hope I can go too but I'm so negative in the money department, ahaha. boogie, feel free to find another Envy since I'm on the fence, I'll probably still do that game outfit for my own fun even if I don't go.

And thanks for the info~

[DancingTofu]

Tofu, are you planning on riding in the BROvan?

Is this brovan a definite brovan or a hypothetical brovan?  If said brovan has already been confirmed, then yes, I'm down as long as it doesn't smell bad, has a decent stereo system, and everyone in it has respectable musical tastes.

[KogaRyu]

AkiCon is in Bellevue, so I'll for sure be attending. I'm pretty Psyched.

It's a Brovan of epic proportions, my dear Tofu.
We're all meeting in Portland and riding up together in an epic party brovan that will blow your mind.

[DancingTofu]

That sounds chill then...how much would I be looking at for gas contribution?

[Gryffinclaw Princess]

Your soul...
Pft, iunno. Roscoe is pretty much heading all that up...

[RoscoeTEHclam]

Tofu, i have begun calculations now, and i will do a special algorithm to factor you in for the van ride, but not the hotel...
actually, since gryffinclaw isn't comeing in the van, and you're not staying in the room, i can treat you as one mathematical hypoteneuse... wait what

[DancingTofu]

That word doesn't mean what you think it means.

[FateChooseMe]

Ahahaha.

[Dubaby]

Bumping since this is getting closer bro's....

Finally was able to register today after finding out that there was an easier/faster site to reg through.

I really hope I still get my baller badge name though, the people said I should even though the other site didn't ask for it. (I guess they e-mail you for it later or match it to other stuff. idk)

[sporkoon]

is there any more room in the brovan? or one of the brorooms? if not i need some roommates! XD and i have a car that can seat 5 besides me, just not much trunk space -_- id prefer not to drive it though.. its a teeny bit rickety..

[FateChooseMe]

Talk to Griff or Kris~

[makichan]

Man, I need to register. Once I figure out the room situation I'm gold.
Kimi Ni Todoke group, woooo!

[RoscoeTEHclam]

Spork, I'm supposed to be driving, but i still dont have my license (uh oh) so maybe if you can go with us you could drive my car?

[sporkoon]

sure i can drive~! as long as i have a good navigator cause im directionally challenged D:

makichan - do you need a room? you can room with me as long as i get enough people XD

[StarryShay]

My group isn't going I think, but I am still tempted to. : x

[FateChooseMe]

My group isn't going I think, but I am still tempted to. : x

Wellll.
If you do, let us know!
:'D

[StarryShay]

HURDUR YEAH : D
When is it again? *_*

[FateChooseMe]

November 5th thru the 7th~

[DancingTofu]

Spork, I'm supposed to be driving, but i still dont have my license (uh oh) so maybe if you can go with us you could drive my car?

Reminds me of a Beatles song

[RoscoeTEHclam]

I definitely lost my job, so i used my last paycheck to pre reg for Aki, and set aside the rest for the hotel room
now to live on $15 for a month
