I still haven't even pre-registered. :/

And I've been throwing money out the window and owe a ton.

I need to make some money and rebuild my budget.  I completely didn't notice that I've run both my accounts down to about $20 and only have minimal cash until tonight, after spending about $30 partying. :/

I meant to keep no less than $100 in my WaMu account for Sakuracon.

I need to get a job. :/

Maybe I'll offer to do some money-making tasks for the family people.

Or sell something.  I'm sure I have stuff I could sell. :P

Hm...

So, doing the math, I need to acquire another $130 to meet my Con budget.

And that's if I don't do any of my cosplays; I have most of the materials for one of them, but still need some lightweight battery-powered speakers.

Geex Mykki. I hadn't realized until now just how long you took to pre-reg...*shakes head*... Then again, I still need to make my costumes somehow..

Alright, I know this is a bit late, but seeing as my Pocky Club Newsletter just showed up in my inbox (my dad decided to put his name down instead of mine, but used my e-mail)... I'm answering Tom's call for Pocky deliverers. I'll try and stop by once in a while. It really depends on the willingness of the friends I'm going with.
I'm going as Cure White (PrettyCure MaxHeart), and Sugar (Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar).. Though my costumes need a LOT of work. (as in I've been searching for decent pictures for so long that I haven't actually started the costumes yet :-[)

Yay for Sakura Con. Totally gonna be there...second time going. If you see a girl with a really awesome/crazy guy cosplaying Rock Lee...that'd be me. Not sure what I will cosplaying though, maybe Maria Ross from Fullmetal Alchemist or Gir from Invader Zim. So excited though ^_^.

I'm totally going :O I will be Roxas and maybe Kairi or Gir (or, as people dubbed me "Girly" gir as I was wearing a tank/skirt/arm/leg warmers combo)

I'm so excited @_@

Only have to get through finals..

We never decided on a place to meet up! Even though I don't know any y'all personaly, I'd still like to know who's from portland (area)
We need;
Location:
Date:
Time:
.... or maybe someone knows a cool place to hang out and it could be 'our spot' to mill around in

Hmm well we can do this one of two ways, either we have someone that knows the area to tell us a good location and just make up a time and do that for the first 2 days... oooor people who want to meet up can pm me and I can give out my phone number and y'all can just call/text

Mmm, I vote for organizing something here, working with everyone's schedule and stuff. I know that I happen to virtually completely forget about my mobile technology while at a con ;) Plus, coordinating through 1 person only could get a little.. confusing!

Somebody with more spare time than me should put together an excel sheet with cell numbers etc. to distribute among Kcon forum folks going to Seattle.  A good meeting place in the evening is the McMennamins just up Pike Street.  Any time of day, I like the internet/pizza cafe one block east of the convention center.

It's a very nice place, but FYI, they really don't want people bringing swords in there.  Some guys I was with last year (Bleach cosplayers) had to haggle to let them stash their swords in the umbrella stand.  My advice, go as a magical girl - wands and staffs are just fine!

NeonFox: You can't bring a "weapon" into a pub, even if it's a prop.  A magical girl staff isn't a weapon. Lots of people will be cosplaying, so I'm advising them to leave their swords somewhere else, like with the concierge at their hotel.

Just a couple weekends ago there was a photo shoot downtown. I walked there with my wooden sword and aside frombiazzarre looks no one cared. Its Seattle.

However, if were talking about bars well, its Seattle and the truth is there are a few drunks and crazies late at night. Its possible one of them may try and start something over a fake weapon, unlikely, but possible.

I think it's a general McMennamins thing that they don't want people bringing sharp pointy things into their place of business.  I probably wouldn't either.

Round trip Train through Amtrak from PDX to SEA: $59.00
Round trip Greyhound Bus from PDX to SEA: $28.50
Road distance from Portland to Seattle via I-5: ~80 (calculate for urban driving and it comes out to about 100 to 110 miles and about 3 hours from most parts of Portland.)

RANDOM FACT I JUST THOUGHT OF! - It's against the law in Seattle to have an aquarium filled with water with you while riding a bus!  The reason is because the sloshing around of the water will annoy other people!

They forgot to list the 'Samurai Noodle" ramen shop which is in the same building as Owajimaya. Damned good ramen, good prices but VERY busy. I advise that you not even attempt to get in at lunch/ dinner time. Theyre open late though, so any time after 7 pm should be okay.
