First Otakon, I've been to AWA twice and ACen twice.


The size of the con really means nothing to me, I only go to AMV-related stuff anyway.
The size for me doesn't determine how much fun I'm going to have (this year's Katsu is hands down the most fun I've ever had at a con), but to go from Katsucon in 2002 with only some odd hundred people to a convention center with thousands and thousands, on top of endless walking was definitely a :shock: moment for me.

I have a friend that's been trying to get me to go to ACen for years now, but I can't really justify the commute with two cons (medium and large) right in my backyard and perfectly spaced apart. I "con" semi-annually to keep the experience fresh and fun. :) AMV's are definitely a staple of any con I attend though.

Anyone interested in doing the AMV dinner this year?

I was wondering if there was a type of get together like that. Sounds fun to me...so long as it's not too pricey.

I'm game for at least starting the process. To my knowledge, historically this seems to happen at the UNO's on the Baltimore Waterfront on the Thursday when Pre-Registration is going on. Does anyone else have an opinion on this?

MMMM Uno's. You all would have to forgive me for being in my hoity toity business suit, but I'm leaving work early that day to check in, so I'll certainly be around. :)

Well, I can make plans for people if you'd like. Reserve some tables and whatnot. I'll need to know how many people to reserve for though. Maybe I'll open up a new topic for the dinner.

I haven't received word on my panel, but traditionally (OK not last year), we did a lunch after the AMV panel on Saturday as well. Again, not sure on the times, but I was hoping to first find that out before getting anything rolling.

...then again, it's usually fairly impromptu.

I think we have enough questions going around to start a separate thread for this discussion. I'm game for any and all social gatherings, so let's see if we can get something organized :P

I hope someone starts one soon. Sounds like a few people would be up to it. :D
