Otakon 2011 - Pull the Fire Alarm!

Already pre-regged, and I'm waiting for the money to drop into my PayPal account so I can pay Ryou for the room <3

Money is tight, so I'll probably just do Geo again this year... might try to snag myself a wig & maybe make some modifications to Omega-Xis, though.

Anyone using Continental Airlines? I thinking of using them cuz they are the cheapest according to Orbitz, but do they charge for all checked bags? or do they offer one free checked bag?

Don't know about Continental, but from what I've seen, you probably shouldn't trust Orbitz. I've heard of them issuing an itinerary with a connection that was physically impossible to make. (While I'm at it, if you use Travelocity, use a secondary e-mail address, because they sell your e-mail to spammers. Haven't heard of any problems besides that, though.)

In my experience, it's best to try several different sites, even if they search the same airlines, and also try airlines' sites directly.

If you're looking at price, I oughta warn you to avoid Useless Airways--I mean, US Airways like the plague. They're dirt cheap, but their check-in counter staff were all utterly useless Vogon morons, and they'll turn your flight into the kind of experience I used to think only happened on The Amazing Race. It's a pity frequent flyer programs don't count miles traveled inside the airport...

Just like to point out that Delta has changed Nobi and I's itenerary -3- times since we bought our tickets. >_> Our original 9am departure on Thursday has now turned into a BLEGH -6:30 AM- one...

I ended up using Southwest Airlines again. It cost me about $300, but the 2 free checked bags (aka not free, just added to the cost) is fine by me Razz

You should get my hotel room money in June :D

Any word on if there is even going to be a Panel at all from one of us this year?

I will be notified by Otakon by no later than June 1st on the matter if our panel is approved for this year or not. :3

Dingo, got your room payment. :)

Also, the Mega Man panel for this year got ACCEPTED so we will be presenting for the final time. :)

What's left to present for this year? You've covered a series overview, the fans' interactions, the anime/manga contributions. The only thing left is... the future! Legends 3, the comic book, and more!

Tell me I'm wrong, because I don't want to be right in this case. ^^;

Actually, there was one topic left we wanted to cover. The official panel name is "Mega Man: Made in Japan", as we will be covering all of the games never released in the States and be giving away such physical copes of those games if available. We will have corresponding video footage of each game we discuss as well. :3

Hmm... not sure how long you can drag an hour out of that list, but my 2 zenny: the future might be relevant and/or we could have more Q&A time.

Still, the panel is always a blast no matter what, and it'd be awesome to get that huge room filled again. :D

Yeah, the idea is this year to not be so rushed and have the Q&A time for once. Don't worry, we'll be giving Legends 3 good mention. XD

There may still be a Mega Man panel, but this is the last year I will be taking part in it. I'm not sure if LBD may take it up or not after this. :3

T-minus 2 weeks and counting. :D

And once again, I regret to inform that Tomahawk will not make it this year. However, I've made HUGE steps in its development, and should have WIP pics available to show off.

I'm not going to have a Rockman costume this year. ;o; Didn't have money to put one together with the move coming up, and most of my old ones don't fit me anymore...took my two most lightweight costumes with me but neither of them are Rockman-related, sadly.

I'll still come to the meet-up though. :)

I'm in a similar situation; I've got a new cosplay almost done (just a couple more little modifications to the shirt left), but no new Rockman-related cosplay. My old ones still fit, but in my case the issue is that I probably still wouldn't have enough time to run back and change outfits in between.

I'll be at the meet-up, but probably not in a Rockman-related cosplay.

So... forgive me for being Negative Nancy, but now I'm legitimately worried about the panel in regards to the current situation. I have a large feeling it's going to go from from funtime to damage control.

What can we do to cull the torches and pitchforks?
