Yay anime conventions! I've only been to one so far--Ohayocon 2006--and it was so great. I'm going to Ikasucon 2006 here soon in July with Riyu and a couple of my other friends, and it's going to be even better. I'm sure of that. I'll be cosplaying Big Boss while I'm there (see Cosplay thread), so that'll only add to the fun. As Riyu stated in another thread, we're currently working on getting a room. It's one month tomorrow until we get there, and I can't wait. [end message]

well this year will be in the convention center, last year it was in blue ash in a hotel "which personally Liked much better"

But it should still be just as fun though at the convention center!

I wouldn't be able to compare this year's to last myself, but, yeah, I do know for certain that it's going to be a blast. I look forward to doing stuff with my friends and meeting new people, as well as getting away from it all for three days. Just one more month... [end message]

Yeah, i think i liked the hotel much better, because we had the whole lobby to just hang out, and walk around, and we could just get in the elevator and go up to our room, rather than going to a hotel that's separated. That makes things a little complicated. Though, i do think that we'll have alot more fun this year than last year. ^^

I'm, for one, certain that you'll have a lot more fun than last year, just because I'm there! But, no, seriously, I bet you'll have a great time, just like everyone else. I have one question, though: I thought that the hotel we'd be staying in was connected to the convention center. Is that wrong, or is there a hotel connected to it but we're staying in another? [end message]

[^.~ Hime Riyu]

oh, yeah the hotel is connected to the convention center, but i don't know how...it could be like ohayocon, but i'm clueless...we'll just have to find out!

The hotel is connected...that's what I thought. I hope it's like Ohayocon, that way it'll be less of a trek to get up there and settle down. I guess we will find out. Oh, and, by the by, have you heard anything about the room lately? Are we sure that Shawntle's parents are reserving one? You should talk to her soon and tell me all about it, because I like to be informed. Thanks. [end message]

[^.~ Hime Riyu]

no i haven't talked to her, but once i get back to aunt shelly's today i'm going to find her phone number and give her a call. That way we can get everything worked out.

Yeah, you really need to get a hold of her. We need to know so we can start planning things. Talk to her as soon as you can and then talk to me about it. We've only got 23 more days! [end message]

Well I to agree that a room needs to be resolve, and I believe it will be, after all we all know much is at stack for all of us in terms of getting to go!

Though I do personally think this should be resolved before June ends, but we shall see what happens right now it's 20th.

So if anyone knows anything for sure let someone here know, after all I know we all been waiting for this con well since last year. lol

But I personally hope this gets taken care of, and after that we can focus on just having fun and stuff like at the con.

Though expect a long line like at the last anime con. lol oh well I guess.

Yeah, this room things needs to be solved quickly so we can plan what we're going to do; indeed there is much at stake. Hopefully Riyu will get a hold of Shawntle, and we can figure this out. I've been waiting since Ohayocon for this (it'll be my first time at Ikasu), and I am very excited. This'll also be my first cosplay, so I'm also excited about that. We'll see how this gets taken care of soon enough, and I'm sure it'll work out perfectly. [end message]

[^.~ Hime Riyu]

Yes, i've talked to shawntle. And if we don't get the room reserved we'll just have to get a room once we're down there. We were actually talking about a credit/debt card. So, yeah. But if we can't get it reserved, ASC, you're going to have to get the room once we all get there, we've calculated the price, and it's going to be around 45 bucks for everyone. which for two nights isn't bad. We'll just have to wing it and see how it goes. I know how important this is for everyone, and believe it, i'm working to my best ability to make this all possible.

It's great, to just get away from crap you deal with in everyday life, to be surrounded by anime and people who love it. They're all so fun, and they just don't care. I love that kind of person, and I think I'll maybe make a few new friends. 11 days and counting! [end message]
