Otakon 2008 - Why is the rum gone?!

[Hardcore Hecxz]

Didn't I say that 2007 was the 5th! Link! LOL

Well snap, doesn't mean we can't bust out the balloons in '08

I thinkin' I might start paying for this trip before '07 is over? Can we plan flights like a year in advance?!?

Stupid Day's Inn filled up so fast, how am I gonna talk my friends into coming now? For flights you can usually find out the rates ahead of time but can't book good rates (aka air/skymiles plans) until at least February/March. Hmm, must do a better job of my Zero costume for next year, like actually completing the armour in time. It got done for Ai-kon the following weekend, but still. Any rooms spots available still? I'm looking into booking a room myself but if someone has a spot...

I hear the Holiday Inn is the next best deal after the Days Inn.

._.; I missed the courtesy call from Days Inn yesterday, so I missed out on getting a good room... ; ;

I called up Holiday Inn -- even Raddisson -- and they're sold out, too.

Ended up booking at Marriott. Again. . . . I'll hold the rooms until someone miraculously decides to not book at Days/Holiday Inn anymore (%.000001 chance), so if anyone that wants to go here can't get a room, I'll be glad to share. Makes the cost less for everyone.

Apparantly the Days Inn con block rooms were jacked up to $229 a night. Which is really wierd, cause we made reservations in their non-con block rooms, and they were only $199 a night. Really stupid of them, there's a lot of pissed off people.

Hn...I almost encountered something similar to that last year when I first booked with Marriott. They tried to charge me more than the con rate when I told them extra people were rooming with me.

But after a bit of talking and word warping, I scored a double room at single price. *cackle*

I'll try to do the same again this year, but I might not be as successful.

The thing about reserving a room at a singles price is... they will give priority of double bed rooms to those who have reserved under the price of having more people. So you are not guaranteed a double-bed, since they think you will only have one or two people.

...or so I have heard from stories over at the Otakon boards.

I have a Wave Transer DX! And of course, anything I buy that can be used as a cosplay prop, I usually buy with the intention of using it as a cosplay prop. In other words, I'll hopefully have a Subaru costume to go along with the Transer for Otakon 2008.

In short: If I make it, we'll have yet another Subaru (which brings the total to... err.. how many? XD). At least for one day, I don't wanna toss aside my Netto cosplay.

I have a feeling we're going to be invaded by Subaru's, instead of the usual army of Netto's we get. XD

Yeah, I kinda figured a lot of people would be picking a costume that includes shorts, considering the summer weather in Baltimore. XD

Of course, I'm not complaining about being part of a army of clones, because I'll be comfortable. XD

I'll only be Subaru if Dragonman & I can't pull of Gemini Spark.

Hopefully we can. And hopefully we'll have time to choreograph Gemini Thunder.

That was a great Tron outfit, but would be even better if you pull off her Scientist outfit with the Whitecoat and Swirly glasses. I love Tron when she's dressed that way
