Who all is going to AWA this year?

This forum is for the announcement and discussion of anime conventions, and for the exchanging of rides to, and rooms at, conventions.

After meeting all the cool people I did at Otakon, I just HAVE to go...!

I'm not going to have any videos in the competitions, and that's kind of a relief. I can cheer everyone else on and not worry about how MY video looks! Yay!

And I just gotta be there for the DDR project!

Now, if only I can get those days off at work. My boss is a real jerk... :wink:

Just make sure he doesn't slap you too hard though...

I'll have one new video in the Masters and I did sent in the one from Otakon as well... That's about all I can do in a year. (three videos this year + DDR)

Good luck!

...and for those who don't know, I'm self-employed. I own my own store. So my boss would be me. :)

I'm really psyched about getting to more cons. But... going to cons also cuts down on the amount of time I've got for making more videos and parodies. This past year has been a whirlwind of congoing with me attending eight cons in the last year. My head hurts... But I've enjoyed it so much. I just need to get back into the "studio" and work on new stuff instead of bumming around trying to push last year's project on everyone!

Yep I know what you mean Scott. I just wish I had such an enthusiastic group of talented people you got there. The voice acting in your parody is so awesome....

Things are looking better for Meri and I getting down for the con. I'm even skipping Warped Tour to keep that much more money to get there ;_;. I guess since we *did* send a new video, and now we've got that DDR video on our hands... we're kinda obligated to come see the reactions... ^_~

Met a *lot* of people at Otakon (some old friends, some new friends), but were so busy running around that we didn't get a chance to do some nice LONG hang-outs with anyone, really. Hopefully this can be changed for AWA.

Totally looking forward to re-meeting people, and meeting some new friends (such as Ian, Hakura, etc) to talk and chill with.

And the DDR project... must... see... reactions to Scott's and Ian's videos... :D

I'm really looking forward to meeting people at AWA. I went to JACON and got to meet EK, Xenodrake and the MTT crew. At any rate, I just thought to remind people that today is the last day to pre-register. See you all there!

I met some great people, but sadly I didn't meet very many. :(

Sorry for everyone that I wanted to meet, but missed. Hopefully I'll get to AWA and I'll get to meet a lot more people there. Old friends, and new. Old friends and new.

Hey, I haven't seen Ian's vid yet! *sob*

Yes, AWA will be real cool this year! I sure hope Scott makes it as well.

If you ask me what the rest of the con is like, I couldn't tell you since last year I spend all my time in the VAT track room and meeting and talking with everyone! The only down side to the location is that there are not too many places to eat without driving (As far as I know, there is only one place unless you cont the expensive hotels....)

In terms of costs, I went to four cons this year and I live in Canada as well so yes, lots of expenses this year.

Of the four, this is the order from the ones I enjoyed to most so far:

Otakon
JACON
AnimeExpo

I hope that AWA will top the list again since ot looks like this year will be the largest gathering yet so far.

So who is comming in on Thursday night? Just wondering....

I myself am goign to 5 CONs total for the 2002 year. This has been my first year where I have actaully gotten a chance to go to CONs and meet everyone.

I started off and I'm still going:

Been to:
UshiCon 1
Akon 13
Anime Expo 2002

And going to:
AnimeFEST 2002
AWA8


Alot of these Cons I have made documentaries about just to show everyone how each Con has its differenced but also how many people you can meet at these places which can be alot of fun as well.

I think I am the only AMV creators that gets into Atlanta on Friday at 12noon. I won't be able to meet up with everyone Thurs night :(
