So all to ask now is, whose room is the sushi party, and what night. Also if i can get the idea of who is bringing samplers of their work and who wants to trade, that way i know how many CD's to make.

Well I quess I will bring my stuff. I will try to make about 20 (or more)CD's next week(even though I think I suck, and no one wuld be interested.

Actually, if anyone wants, my stuff can be previewed. it's all at http://westware.8m.com/amv/amv.html They are in wmv format (only 11MB per each AMV. It the only way I could possible get them online for download). If anyone likes either one, eamil me at hackerzc@westware.8m.com and say something, that way I can make you a CD with the qood quality versions on it cause the quality of those previews on my site SUCK!

I need to compress them and everything first which will take 2 hours each on my comp before I make the CD's (between working on my costume and checking email/forums). I have been on my computer for 4 hours just answering email and posting/reading this forum.

And about the fish. ou got broadway market, and there is a Super Frest in Fells Point, but you might want to take a cehicle to get to those (other wise it's a half mile walk I believe.

I was going to leave my truck (2001 Chevy S-10 regular cab) home over the weekend (as not to pay for parking) but with all this stuff going on I guess I could offer my vehicle services (durring times I am not at the con) for running someone to a place so we could pick some stuff up.

They have yet to put one up. Infact I have never seen them post the schedual (I don't think they do). You pretty much have to wait till you get your packet at the con to find out.

That remings me, I need to find a highlighter to mark stuff off, and I need to get some lead pencils (mechanical) for the LARP. Peace!

I might go down town later tonight or maybe on monday to scout some locations for meeting spots outside of the BCC (for thursday perhaps).

i know a lot of people are arriving Thursday, so why waste a perfectly good day?

Also, for those of you interested in the weather.
go to http://www.weather.com and enter "21201" as the zip (this is downtown Baltimore) to checkout the 10 day forcast. Looks good so far, but I don't really know how reliable the 10 day is. The 5 day matches local news almost exactly.

So what if you think you suck?

Most creators (the ones who aren't egomaniacs) aren't incredibly confident in their work. They do their best, but they know that the decision of "is it good?" isn't in their hands. It's in us, the viewers. So, what if you think you suck?

I for one like to support other creators. I'll bring a bunch of CDs with videos from myself and my friends. I'm not asking for money in return (of course!), but I would like to get some of other people's work! It's also a lot cooler to meet someone and then later watch the video. Then you can say, "I met this guy at a con!" and have warm fuzzy feelings whenever you pull out the CD and dust it off...

Or something like that.

Considering it next week, some plans would be nice. Lets just start with Thurday for now, what are the options, I head of a few and I'm always willing to meet and dicuss this with any fellow creators... if we are not sure of what to do or where to go, a meeting place at a specified time (maybe at the convention center since I always like to check con sites out prior) would be a good place to start and things could be decided from there

How about some feedback from everyone listening in on this thread who will be at Otakon

Also, when does registration open, Thursday night or Friday morning?
