I don't think it's sketchy or anything, and hope you can find some people to join you. I'd pitch in, but I'm already going with TSO's group. (Maybe ask her if you want to join in our group?)

Not sketchy at all - my husband and I met some really good friends of ours off a random room request post for Katsucon half a dozen years ago :V

It is easier to find a space in a room than roommates I've found, heck we might have some space but I cannot confirm yet since MJP handles all that I just bring my silly costumes.

BUT OH OH OH MJP IS FINALLY BROHOUING IT UP IT WILL BE FABULOUS.

This of course means I have to coordinate my silly outfit wearing times with him to make sure we jive and all.
~~and possibly sewing most of it too~~

Okies, I just meant this as an offer for anyone who wants a cheap room. I'm perfectly fine with rooming myself...cept I would just prefer to follow someone around cus I've never been there. You guys know if the panelists from anime boston are going? Such a chill group.

You'd probably know if you drove the ten minutes to AUSA! I mean, i-it's not like we wanted to meet you again or anything :V

In all seriousness, at least 3/4 of the AB panel will be at Otakon... doing another Touhou panel among other shenanigans. It should also be the first one we've done where the entire panel is in cosplay, so my sincere apologies.

Or across the street to katsucon... <_<;

Speaking of said panel, I submitted for it tonight. Here's hoping!

Oddly enough there wasn't a part of the form that was "when do you want to be scheduled" so I threw it in as a request in the question box at the end.

Makes sense, now to find out which of you folks were the two Komachi's at that panel. (Been to AUSA also since its a 10 minute metro ride from my house)

I owe them their pictures of them fighting over the scythe. Might as well post it for them. (Other pics from both panels are in there somewhere)

You bet your sweet ass I am, cinnamon buns.

The only thing preventing me from preregistering outright is the harsh reality of unemployment and the hope of finding something promising before the prereg deadline. If I do find something, that'll have to take priority. I've certainly received enough badgering over the last week to get me psyched up for this even if I originally had no intent to go, and I had every intent to go in the first place!

Of course I'll be there. I look forward to another wonderful weekend of drinking in Bodymore, Murderland.

As if there's anything else to do here. Maybe watch the Orioles lose. Or star in your own real-life version of The Wire or Homicide.

Hey all you sane people who don't snore, we have one, possibly two max, slots open in our room!

We're booked from Thursday through Sunday, it'd be great if you wanted all three nights but we can work out just two.

With tax it'd be around $120ish if we have four people all three nights, $85ish for just two as long as we get a fourth.

PM me or triangles if you want in on this shindig! We're cool people, I swear. Hanging with us means you get in to ERRY MotK DRINKING PARTY over the weekend!

triangles · « **Reply #105 on:** May 03, 2011, 10:01:47 AM »

Our usual roomie crew aren't going this year so yeaaaaaaah we'd rather not resort to "taking random neckbeard off the Something Awful forums on Thursday afternoon" again :derp:

But it's still kinda early so I'm not too concerned.

UncertainJakutten · « **Reply #106 on:** May 03, 2011, 06:36:47 PM »

Oh...huh...I still need to arrange a ride, don't I? Is anyone at all coming from the south of Fredericksburg?

I'm really thinking about this. Damn, it's so close after AX. But... it'd be my first Otakon! Augh, and if I roomed with you guys, I might have to think about a cosplay. And I wanna drink myself silly too.

Feel free to put me down as "Considering it." I'll finalize a decision by May 15th.

If you can make it north a couple hours, I can probably drive you the rest of the way. I'd be coming up Thursday.

UncertainJakutten · « **Reply #109 on:** May 03, 2011, 07:26:44 PM »

Not sure I could make it up even that far, really. Though I'll see what options present themselves.

triangles · « **Reply #110 on:** May 03, 2011, 09:28:47 PM »

I'd be very surprised if there's no bus you can take.
Or comedy option: if you post on the cosplay.com forums they have a rideshare thread IIRC :V

UncertainJakutten · « **Reply #111 on:** May 03, 2011, 11:26:02 PM »

I...really, am uncomfortable. With the idea of taking the bus. I *could*, but if at all possible, I do not want to. At all.

Edible · « **Reply #112 on:** May 04, 2011, 01:32:00 AM »

Let me get back to you on that. If I'm not driving anyone else up, I could wind up just driving down there. It's only an hour each way and then another 2-3 to baltimore depending on traffic.

UncertainJakutten · « **Reply #113 on:** May 04, 2011, 01:33:17 AM »

All right. And I can give you gas moneys for your troubles.

We're at four. Five would max it out. I'll ask our others but I personally am OK with five. That would bring it to $103 if we're talking Thu-Sun for all five people. Now that's a bargain.

Edible · « **Reply #115 on:** May 05, 2011, 03:49:17 PM »

I will hopefully know by today if I'll have any roommates or not.

Kunai-kun · « **Reply #116 on:** May 05, 2011, 05:05:30 PM »

Oh, oh, I should post here too. I've got a room in the Hilton, that is connected to the convention center(Kilga/Yucari stayed there last year, they know of it

). We currently have 5/6 people in the room, at $710~ for the weekend, Thursday through sunday. If anyone would like to room with us, we have 2/3 spots open(we generally don't like having more than 8 in a room) Standard 2bed room, most of us are fine with not getting a bed.

If we fill the room(8 people) it comes to $90 a person for the weekend.

Let me know! My AIM is kunaikun. :3c

Also, Kilga, I saw there was a couple room still open at the Hilton, if you're still looking.

And nothing else.

Seriously though, I do want to cosplay this year and time is running out to get a costume together. Still have no idea what I'm gonna do. Was thinking about a homestuck crocodile for hilarious nak purposes.
