  • [QUOTE=fanlife;3795087]Just registered and booked my hotel room. I've looked at the official website, but I don't see even a rough schedule. Anyone know when that's expected to be available? I'm trying to decide whether to go down Friday or early Sat.[/QUOTE]

    For the schedule, oi, will try to see when we can get a rough one out. Pretty much been a problem as a whole as a lot of us have been bogged down with various things that made it hard to even work on the schedule. All I can really tell you are the things I know for certain that'll be on Friday.

  • Hey, just saying to all that i'm excited for this c: My girlfriend and i will be going together as Italy and Romano from Hetalia~!

  • I can't wait~ >w< Ahahaha me and my friend's thought of going, planned, organized and paid for our tickets within 24 hours. Thankfully I had the money, and we got our hotel room the next day. So excited and can't wait to run around as France from Hetalia~ ANd Undertaker is I can get that wig to behave right :T

    You should warn her Francis is going to kidnap you ;D Denmark is my backup -shot-

  • I am looking for people that will join my escapades as dressing like pirates one day of the con, in case people don't know what to dress up as.

    I am going as a cyber pirate.

    I want to do it for the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean film. Haha, even if it isn't anime/manga related. Or people can dress as One Piece characters. That would do it too.

    Pirates should be in this year. ;D

  • I know this is a bit random, but I'd like to give you a bit of an example of one of the bands I've talked(begged) to come. These are [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=km5XoXRsQo0&feature=player_embedded"]The Secret Samurai[/URL], a local band influenced by everything from Dick Dale to Zatoichi. I know, strange act to have, but they are a great group of guys who have fun(and they even played a show at the beach once!).

    So tell me what you think! It means much to me.

  • Interesting band.
    I will have to look into them more to see if I like them.

    I didn't know who contact when I sent an email to the con about bringing in an actual Japanese band to the con. Also, bringing in a Japanese music industry to spread word about Jpop and Jrock.

  • Yeah, first time I saw them play was at the beach, second time was at a library while they played classic samurai films as they played. I know it's not a genre that everyone really gets, but hey, exposure is always nice.

    Technically that'd be me. Thing is right now, I have little(read as no) budget. I'm talking to a Japanese man I met who has a band who is willing to come down, so I'm hoping that goes well because I had fun hanging out with him and he's a brilliant guitarist. About the industry, not much room I have there, if I can get the contacts I'll try my damnedest, but right now I'm grasping for straws.

    But yeah, I never got that email, so if you want to talk about that, you can PM me.

  • Hopefully this con will be fun. I booked my room already so now I can defintely say that I'm going.

    Yeah sure! c: Of course. Even... relationshippy pics, if you're into that pairing XD;; I'm not, but she is.

    When i told her, she was all "NOOOOOOFRAAAANCE!!!!" at me XD;;

  • well if all goes as well, i should have completed my Sweden cosplay :3

  • I'll be attending, and doing panels again. Still waiting to confirm the details, but I'll probably be doing a sewing/fabrics panel and a props/accessories panel like last year.

    Don't know what I'm cosplaying yet, though. It depends on what I get done.

  • Hi all,

    I found out about Anime Conji a while ago from some people who went to Anime Expo but I only recently decided to maybe check it out. I live in San Diego so I figured if I wasn't busy I would drop by and purchase a day pass. I had a couple questions for anybody who can answer them:

    -Are there a lot of cosplayers who go? Like ALA and AX have a lot, is it like that?
    -I'm a student so I do qualify for the discounted rage of $30 full weekend, can this apply at the door or is it only pre-reg online till 3/19?

  • [QUOTE=atlantisan;3800861]Hi all,

    -Are there a lot of cosplayers who go? [/QUOTE]

    There are definitely a lot of cosplayers there -- I've never been to ALA or AX, but AC is cosplay-a-palooza ;-)
