o.o Hm I'm not sure what hotel to recommend... I stay with a family friend every year. I guess maybe the Hilton? I suppose it depends on what all you need and when your check-in and out times are.

This is, not surprisingly, my home con, so yes, I will be there! This will be 6 years and counting for me.

EmAino · « **Reply #52 on:** September 22, 2011, 06:39:27 pm »

I will be there. Haven't been to one since 2005 or 2006 (can't remember), so looking forward to it. Staying at the Grand Hyatt.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #58 on:** September 28, 2011, 07:04:50 am »

You're talking about at Sakuracon, right?

JimiJay27 · « **Reply #59 on:** September 28, 2011, 07:33:02 am »

Sakuracon is the weekend after Emerald City Comic Con.....must start saving up my money >.>

luvan1me · « **Reply #60 on:** September 28, 2011, 04:50:04 pm »

and yes i'm talking about Sakuracon

why would i talk about anything else in this thread XD

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #61 on:** September 28, 2011, 10:18:15 pm »

That's what I thought. In that case, I'll pass this off to my anime club. I know I'd like to be in on this, and I'm sure that many of them will be, too.

luvan1me · « **Reply #62 on:** September 29, 2011, 12:31:39 am »

sweet! ^_^ let them know that i hope they can come

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #63 on:** September 29, 2011, 10:24:07 pm »

Will do! It probably won't be for a few weeks, though. I think it'd be more effective to say it all at once during one of our meetings, which will probably be starting up in (at least) two weeks.

luvan1me · « **Reply #64 on:** September 30, 2011, 02:12:21 am »

good luck! ^_^

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #65 on:** September 30, 2011, 07:41:57 am »

Thanks!

Relating to this subject, our club has solidified who our advisor will be for the school year, and he told us officers that he will most definitely be able to go to Sakuracon with us!

Now all that remains (for now) is to have our charter application approved, which I doubt there'd be any reason for a denial...

Black~Rose · « **Reply #66 on:** September 30, 2011, 07:56:37 am »

I'm trying to be able to go. Getting Keira done for this.

luvan1me · « **Reply #67 on:** September 30, 2011, 09:06:03 pm »

@washougal: sweetcheeks! yes! that is good news! >w< and yeah i agree, there shouldn't be any reason for a denial ^^

Over the past few years, the only "issues" have been that the Japanese Language Club hadn't liked that we study Japanese culture. The way I see it, they should be thanking us for allowing them to exist or do anything culture-related, since our club founded them and gave them the "opportunity" to add culture into their mission statement. But whatever; we became close last year, and have already been talking about ideas for this upcoming year, so I doubt that we'll be in any danger.

luvan1me · « **Reply #69 on:** October 02, 2011, 04:37:40 pm »

oh well that sucks :/ and that doesn't really make sense cuz "culture" can me anything in that country/race >3> current and past

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #70 on:** October 02, 2011, 04:40:49 pm »

Yeah, that's part of the original issue. The original agreement was that they would focus on older cultural aspects, while we focused on modern times. However, since anime can cover many subjects of Japan's past, and more events focus on what's going on, we last agreed that we would cover anything anime, manga, video game, and convention related, while they did anything else. We also take turns doing holidays & festivals, and some times help each other out.

luvan1me · « **Reply #71 on:** October 02, 2011, 11:11:48 pm »

hm sounds reasonable. but anime, video games, and conventions are more of modern times rather than the past (but i know the first anime was a nazi propaganda). But I guess it's okay to take turns for festivals cuz that is the past and ongoing.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #72 on:** October 03, 2011, 01:14:02 am »

Well, many anime and such have story lines that revolve around the past, such as Samurai Champloo, and make many references to Shinto beliefs.

luvan1me · « **Reply #73 on:** October 03, 2011, 04:28:40 am »

yeah true. but it's still an animated show that was drawn today :/ so i donno. i guess it's kinda of how the past affected today's animations. i mean they kind of depend on each other.

thank you ^^ It makes me sad that so few people cosplay her, she's so fun! And I love that game (though I cant get past the darn hell catz in the 2nd game X_X)

Okitaru · « **Reply #76 on:** October 04, 2011, 12:15:22 am »

I'm thinking I can manage to go this next year.
It'll be my first one besides Kumoricon, so I'm fairly hyped for the chance to go.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #77 on:** October 04, 2011, 07:02:16 am »

Update: We've been chartered! YAY! Now we need to get some meeting times in and plan out who's going to the con!

Animeman73 · « **Reply #78 on:** October 06, 2011, 01:04:12 pm »

I've got my room and all I have to do now is set up Otaku 25 and older - The Return. And Washougal-Otaku if you're still up to it I'd like you to be a part of Otaku 25 and older. This legally blind, autistic quack could use all the help he can get to make things more interesting this year.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #79 on:** October 06, 2011, 01:31:59 pm »

As far as I know, I'll be there and can be apart of this panel.
Oh, BTW, the Burgerville in downtown is now completely demolished. All that is there is the foundation.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #80 on:** October 06, 2011, 04:08:39 pm »

I'm going for sure >:3

Animeman73 · « **Reply #81 on:** October 06, 2011, 08:33:07 pm »

Awesome as we get closer to the con I'll be making out a schedule of topics I want to discuss and if you can send me your E-maila ddress so i can send a copy of the rough draft to you. I'd liek all the people eho are taking part in this to have theieir say on what works and what doesn't. Alas poor Burgerville we knew thee well. So many a tasty Burger that came from thy establishment. You will forever be missed.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #82 on:** October 07, 2011, 03:22:19 am »

ahh yes i will pm you with my email :3

tofutakeout · « **Reply #83 on:** October 08, 2011, 08:55:38 pm »

Fuuuu at this point I have a lot to do and I feel it's going to be like this until the actual con.

And I still need to register. I need to get on that soon. ;_;

DancingTofu · « **Reply #84 on:** October 10, 2011, 01:41:16 pm »

Captain James P. Hook will be in attendance.

Animeman73 · « **Reply #85 on:** October 11, 2011, 12:56:00 pm »

DancingTofu if you're going to be James Hook at Sakuracon then sometime on maybe Day 0 or 1 whenever you can spare the time....MUST....GET....PICTURE OF YOU FOR MY BLOG!!!!!

Animeman73 · « **Reply #86 on:** October 12, 2011, 09:56:52 pm »

And um, Jacob_Blackfeather actually I was talking to Washougal_Otaku.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #87 on:** October 13, 2011, 09:09:39 am »

I was wondering that, myself...

LigerZeroLindsey · « **Reply #88 on:** October 14, 2011, 09:31:43 am »

I am becoming very excited for Sakura Con. I registered the day it was available which was months ago, and I made my hotel reservations as soon as they were available to! Haha!

As for my cosplays, Schneider is nearing completion! I have a lot of work to do on the mask, but all
The armor is almost completed! As for my fursuit, it soon shall be a fullsuit =] (she was a partial last year)

Animeman73 · « **Reply #94 on:** October 31, 2011, 08:04:20 pm »

Most excellent! I'm starting get things together for the panel i intend to put in for at Sakuracon. All i can do now is wait. I know there's [plenty of time to get things done in but still no better time then the present. Oh by the way everyone I just found out that Sakuracon is now taking applications for panels.

luvan1me · « **Reply #95 on:** November 01, 2011, 12:33:42 am »

I just sent in my two applications for my panels.

I hope you guys are interested!

"KH 411" we will update you on the games, play the games, and I may or may not have a "fun" time added to it.

"Otaku PJ Panel" 18+ fun with cosplays and pjs, adult improv games, "Name that Meme" game for prizes!

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #96 on:** November 19, 2011, 07:55:44 pm »

To go to Sakuracon I'd have to first confirm that I have enough to afford pre-registration, hotel room and transportation by train or ride.

Hoping I'll have all the basics cleared up for me to go, I'd eagerly await the release of the programming schedule so I can go to all that I'd enjoy without knowing I missed something or overflooding my day.

Cosplays are going to be either new ones that I've never done before, providing money and time allow, and/or old favorites that survived Kcon 2011.

Also Saki, my brief advice for new sakuracon-ers, take a buddy or two with you and keep your map even closer. It's a HUGE con at a HUGE site.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #97 on:** November 19, 2011, 09:34:31 pm »

chibitalia and an OC

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #98 on:** November 24, 2011, 11:41:04 pm »

Mine's in my signature, but...I'll be going as Rose Lalonde, Princess Bubblegum and the Dolorosa. I'm doing the last two as part of a group, so I'll have a Marceline and an LSP with me for PB and a Mindfang and a Redglare for Dolorosa.

I haven't registered at all, but provided I keep my grades up I am pretty much 100% going.

nyahaha · « **Reply #99 on:** November 25, 2011, 03:15:06 am »

I've mostly decided what I'm wearing.

Beatrice (Umineko), Shoma (Penguindrum), DWC Miku, The Gold Robot (LMFAO), and possibly Kiki, although I don't know if I want to transport that broom again.
