AWA 2007 Aftermath

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

Agreed on the spending way too much. I came into the con not wanting to buy anything, made extra effort to eat in the con suite only and not go to the dealer's room at all.

I somehow managed to eat out about 4 times. D;

Hahahha eating out on top of spending over 200 bucks in the dealer room. Yeah... I went just a tiny bit overboard.

I am sure a lot of us sympathize on coming home with very light wallets

my wallet is full after AWA...
I suppose that's because it was empty beforehand and I got monies from sky, sto and sephiroth

Good thing for me is they increased the tax exemptions to $400 as I spend over $250. That's more then I have in the past three years at a con

Yeah i know how much you spent Vlad since I was there to see you oggle all the pretty artwork. And I sure as hell know because you are the only person I know of who spent more than me even if only by a tiny amount.


And yes Addy is a skinny motherfucker. He made me seem like a hippo in comparison.

I wasn't going to go to AWA as none of my usual crew was going (Flux, MJ, Carlos, Wonka).

On Friday night, jbone drunk dials me and essentially guilts me into going. He tells me that Decoy has flown in and spent something like $1700 on a fucking plane ticket just so he could drink with dewelopers. Decoy is my brother from another mother so at 3am I booked a flight for noon, packed a bag, and flew out to AWA.

I had a blast hanging with Rae and getting drunk with Wagner and Decoy. Had lovely conversations with everyone and gave big love vibes to all the right people.

AtomX threw us out of his party which was funny because 2 hours later, he shows up at ours :P

It was a blast and I had big fun. The contest was mostly a joke and I was laughing out loud at all the girly techno rds clone videos out there.

I still cannot believe you actually made it out after basically being told there was booze and dewvelopers. Twas fun talking to ya on Saturday night as I do remember it despite being pretty damn drunk at the time.

Although my biggest regret was having nothing new for AWA at all with my only vid being one that is nearly a year old and went to the winter cons.

At least I had cookies. People seemed to like them. Next year though would have to truck along more of em as 8 dozen went too quickly. Of course Vlad was probably half of them at the rate he was going. :p
