Oh and Castor, even though I was sick I still went. The only thing it stopped me from doing was talking the first two days since my throat hurt so much.

Am I the only one who didn't wait for those elivators?
Everytime I arrived they opened. When I left, they closed.

Then again, I had so much pepsi it seemed like an hour was 3 minutes.

Definitely coming again this year. As usual, I'm arriving on Thursday for the dinner (and the BRIDGE OF DEATH~!) and staying the entire weekend until (probably) Monday morning.

just to note, We (awa) didn't actually have a hand or even a vote in the closing off of those escalators.

Thats a hotel function.

And yes, they are going to do the same thing for brunch this year, so plan accordingly.

Sorry if it sounded that way, I know the hotel did that because of the brunch. Man, guess I better try and get a room on a low floor.

Make sure you shift all your weight to the left of right!

Your options:

Left: BUMP!
Right: AAAHHH! SPLAT! BUMP!

Uh, Ok, that was the wrong reply window. Anyway, this will be my first AWA. Looking forward to meeting some people. Dunno if I'll fly or drive though.

I don't know about you guys, but I know the group of friends I usually stay with will be staying at the other hotel. Not because the Waverly is sold out, but it's just a lot better. The rooms are a lot bigger and you don't deal with the con crowd just to get to your room.

Sure you have to take a little walk, but it's not so bad once you see how nice the rooms are.

I for one look forward to our "AMV Board Room Meetings" again eh MeriC/Vegettoex/Corran/Knives/Atomx/Ashy? ;)
