No prereg, no hotel plans, forgot to submit my panel and got rejected for press badge

Yup, sounds like a typical year for me BV

Haha, how did you try to get a press badge?

I usually try to come up with some sort of cosplay, but I procrastinate and leave it for the last minute and then it winds up sucking so I scrap it.  Probably won't even bother this year.

That's pretty much what happens to me every year too. That, and I'm too cheap to pour hundreds into a wig and outfit.

Anyway, I'm still figuring out if I'm even going to be able to afford things. I'll get back to you.

Yeah when they asked for ID and proof of membership in a press guild/college newspaper etc, I went "yeahhhh this isn't going to work".

God damn I wish I had thought of the press badge idea last year.

Well I'm almost guaranteed to get a panel if I ask for one, I did do one already.  We had a few ideas bantered about but the deadline came and went and we never really got anything solid together.

Maybe next year we'll get "Of Tacos and Tiles: Mahjong in Anime" panel together.

Trust me, if you put forth any bit of effort to meet up with some people, you will.

Not like the amount of replies currently present here is enough evidence, but there were a bunch of MotK-ers present last year. Go to a photoshoot where we would be present (i.e. there were TWO Touhou photoshoots last year) and just say hello. Even if I'm not much of a contributor to a mob, I tend to be a part of a 6-10 person group with a few core members. When someone can't go to a con for one reason or another, there's always someone else who didn't manage to gather the group they would've liked that we can have along.

No no no one kidney is obviously there just so you can sell it and go to Otakon.

And North-americans are born with two so they can donate to non-americans who sell their to go to Otakon.
Y'all owe me a kidney.

I don't think you can afford losing a kidney.  If anything, I think you'd be better with an extra liver, especially if you getsh drubkn agian lolz.
