(It's 2NE1. They can perform in English and have been really popular in Japan lately)

I'd freak out if this ends up being true as they're my favorite K-pop band.

But as Triangles saw that they're supposed to perform in Seoul on Saturday and Sunday, it does seem like that'd be a bit... difficult... not impossible though.

Finally! Time to plan what to do for each day.

And TSO, that seems like an idea; signing up.

If I can handle it, I'd probably go check out the Steins;Gate premiere since I rather like that one. It got announced last AX so I wonder if it'll be dubbed or subbed? With the overabundance of teenage girls it might be too same-voicey for my tastes but a great Okabe would be hilarious in English.

Other than that looks like the schedule's down again so I can't remember what else was good! Maybe this will be the year I actually bother with an 18+ badge and go to the Voice Actors Are Given Booze And A Microphone panel.

Edit #2: wait the internet tells me they're performing in Seoul on the 28-29th so that'd be a ridiculous turnaround

Whoops. :|

Seems I actually have a reason to use the phrase "UNPRECEDENTED SERIOUS AFFAIR!" (No, I'm serious, this isn't a joking matter.)

Seems my mom's car is potentially out of commission for an unknown timeframe, at least as far as six hour long, 300 mile drives are concerned. She's my ride to Otakon, or rather was, but now I'm in a huge bind. Is there anyone who could possibly help me get there?

For reference, I'm gonna be in Bradford, Pennsylvania when it's time to get moving. I'd obviously be willing to give gas money and all that to the person(s) who'd be taking me, so...Help?
Score one for our lovely admin who's taking care of this! I'm saaaaveddd~!

Who's the dead man that changed my avatar?

Crap, I have to make a 6" wide Perler bead starfish to either give to or get signed by Ai Nonaka and memorize whatever it was Fuko said when handing them over!

I think you're going to be happier with a wooden one from AC Moore. Also because you know, it's the right material.

Or be like Ron Swanson and carve it yourself :V

Full shhhhhhhhhchedule is here. As previously stated elsewhere, the Touhou panel is at 5:30 on Friday in panel room 6. The irony of the Yokai Nation panel being next door at the same time is comical.

All in all, considering the number of other things that the panel time could've conflicted with, this is a great spot. It's not during one of the two photoshoots, during the dinner reservations, early on Friday morning, late on Sunday afternoon, or during a time which would siphon potentially interested parties away. That's a whole lot to ask for.

There's some good stuff scattered about. I'm quite glad to see that Anime's Craziest Deaths remains unmolested out in the middle of nowhere on Friday night.

So the ~*~game changing band~*~ is indeed a Kpop boy band cobbled together on a reality show which is apparently so super new that they have a grand total of two songs recorded. So uh, lots of covers at the concert?

ahahaha what

Well, at least it'll be something I can skip without worrying too much.

Edit: Apparently one "Joho Mikako" will also be performing on Friday. Not sure who she is th-

For Otakon 2012, she plans also plans to perform a selection of popular anime theme songs.

Totally going.

That's a little more tempting for me then, I really have to look at the schedule more in depth and start planning my wobble naps to try and make sure I don't totally crash in the visual overload and where I want to prioritize my (line standing) stamina :ohdear:

Of course watch everything I want to see change Friday morning.

Speaking of which, STILL no schedule on the concerts and such things :derp:

Ugh there's just not enough time! Sakuya help! I'm almost done packing, need to go get essentials like food, and finish my cosplay.

Almost done with my Mokou cosplay, I just need to make her amulets and I'm done.

Also her red bands on her arm. I think I'll just get a small pair of suspenders that match the big ones and roll them up around my arm.

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #199 on:** July 24, 2012, 04:43:27 PM »

Wig still not started o /o/

At least most of the rest of what I need to do is done. The only other major things I can think of are making the panel slideshow and actually withdrawing cash.

LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU

...actually considering wobbles I'm in not terrible shape. I have to handstitch the remaining Kyouko trims, sew the ears and hotglue them to hairclips, and Red Mage cape + hat. And pop two cross stitches into frames. This is better off than I was last year and I wasn't partially disabled :V

I guess you've leveled up your Crafting skills since then or something, perhaps? =)

So I wasn't too huge of a fan of the mead I made. I'm probably going to bring a bunch of bottles. I don't intend, expect, or wish to bring them back with me.

Momi meady Mima Mami modo anyone?

Also don't forget to BYO laptop for Artemis, and give $5 to Drunk_Aya if you intend to keep your version and want to be a bro for him buying the six-person license!

And someone bring a hat to draw who gets what position - oh wait, this is Touhou, there's a billion hats to be had :V

Oh welp, touristing around Chicago with our relatives visiting from Mexico has left with only 7 dollars to my name. I assume my parents will at least loan me some spending money. I have to get Jan to take me to buy the last things for my Homestuck cosplay and finish it up. I'll probably have to resew some stuff on my Mu-12 cosplay once I dig it up too. OTL

Today is packing day cuz our train is tomorrow. Yay~

Since I depart Thursday I can print and pack tomorrow. But aside from Minecraft server business and a bit of personal stuff, the con's all I really have in mind. Gah, I want to get going already....! :V
Alas, the person I'm rooming with won't be arriving until Friday afternoon...:<

Yeah sorry :< But hey, better late than never right? :V

Plus my mom (who is always persistent to go everywhere I go) found a room at Ramada, which is right near ours, so we got a ride back and fourth, no need to worry about buses :V
