That's nothing, I live 5 miles (like 5-10 minutes) from the BCC. I must be one Baka Gaijin cause I am staying down town (helping to releave the strain of the cost of a hotel room for some one whos friends bailed on him at the last minute). I'm such a nice guy.


LoL you're staying in a hotel when you live that close? Why not let your friend stay at your place instead, relieving both of you of the cost? Or would the cancelation cost money?


Because ther were origionally 6 of us, and I live at home with my mom in a row home. I know for a fact I don't have that kind of room, where would people sleep? Besides, I have a Chevy S-10 pickup that can hold only myself and 1 passanger (and a midget in between us). There would be no way to get back and forth. (believe me, I have thought of everything, I like to plan ahead).

You guys can use ours I guess.

Remember how I was saying my group was origionally six (in the message above this one). Well now it has gone to 4 (2 of my "friends" backed out yesterday, and I now have to pay for there spots, assholes!).

Anyway My room will be in the Radisson (some hotel Scott is staying in).
I won't know the room number or anything till thursday afternoon when I checkin.
It's a king size room (hotel changed our room from a double at the last minute).
Anyway, one we put the bead back together (we are seperating the two king matreses to make 2 beds, hehe) there is plenty of room to make sushi and have some ppl over.
Here is a link to a virtual 360 degree tour of the room: http://www.photowebusa.com/inner-harbor ... edres.html

Next year I am thinking about setting stuff up myself and getting a crown sweet reserved, OH YEAH!

Gee McKeen, thanks for listing me on your site, except that unless you've got $1400 on you right now I'm staying in Europe instead of going to Otakon. It's not like I've really got a reason to go right now either..*sigh*

Oh yeah, about Thursday, let's mak it the CHARLES STREET LOBBY.
It's located closer to the inner harbor, and is a better central point then Howard Street.

Bringing my Guitar

Postby hackerzc » Wed Jul 24, 2002 1:22 pm

Well I have decided to bring my Guitar with me (electric). I don't know how to play (I got it just to play around with when I am board at home), and it should entertain myself and my roomies (who I will let use it).

Okay, I'll be getting in between 7 and 8 now, so I can join up with the meeting... I just dunno if I can meet at the 7:00 meeting place. Any idea as to where you guys would end up? Oh, btw, I'm the one bringing the multi-region DVD player - and there may not be room for it (Quu is staying in my room). So I'll be at the con - add me to the list : ) Later,
