CALLING ALL EAST-COASTERS (and Nejin and Red)

[Krizonar]

;____; no one wants choco. choco is unloved and thus turns to her pillow.
a wild pillow appeared! choco used hug! it's super effective!

but we do want choco!

Everyone should have fun

and wow, with these plans, it seems kinda easy. (though I'll still have to drive up)

[NejinOniwa]

How far's it for you, then?

[Krizonar]

About 600 miles, so it's a pretty hefty part of a day to get there, but I do want to go and meet you guys.

And ends up sword isn't allowed, I'll have to try something else; still don't like the idea of bleaching hair though.

[NejinOniwa]

Use a wig, perhaps? Ezmodo maybe, but it's all good for you people who don't have 3 feet of gold hanging off your heads. I can't wear a wig for my life >_>

[Krizonar]

Hm, that's a possibility, the other problem is, what EXACTLY, in CANON, does OS 9 kun look like? There's very few pictures in the gallery and most look pretty different imo.

and ironically, OS 9 is my least favorite Mac OS. Xd

[Chocofreak13]

lol, kyourou-kun (OS9-kun) has silvery hair, a large-collared tshirt with a 9 on the front, shorts, basic shoes, and upper-arm length gloves.

(lol, i just realized that i posted all the pics in the mac-kun album! xDD)

you could go as OSX-kun. :3 shirtless catboy? xDD


yay choco is wanted. ^^ and krizo, YOUR EMOTICON IS BACKWARDS, MAH BOI. xD lol.

now we just need to decide what hotel we wanna stay at, who's DEFINITELY going, and reserve the bus tickets/hotel.

we should also nail down when we wanna leave, and how we wanna get around baltimore. :\ (my vote for departure date is the wednesday before, early morning.)

Yes, you did!
hm, I think I can accomplish that, little plain though.

and hm, I actually probably could go as an OSX kun (just need some face paint), it's not like I'm out of shape, I Box. (maybe I could go as a Mac Mafia OSX kun? that pic was awesome, btw)

Of course you are wanted! you're planning this! And I hope you don't mind my stubbornness about trying to be System 7 kun.
My xD's are always backwards! cuz Xd looks funny!

Well, I'm pretty danged definitely going.
I'll probably forget about it for the most part till like 2 weeks before it

[Chocofreak13]

don't worry. we won't LET YOU forget, especially since we need to book a hotel, and quick. :\
(and mac mafia OSX-kun is perfectly acceptable. -w-)

SO PEOPLES, NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA.

figuring out which hotel we're gonna stay at, how to pay for said hotel, and finally BOOKING said hotel for (i'd say) 5 days/4 nights. (wed-sun ?)

good friend/veteran con-goer colleen says sheraton is likely to turn a blind eye to large groups in one room, as long as we don't book in the quiet suite (apparantly old friends of ours liked to have drunken orgies in the sheraton).

[NejinOniwa]

lolol drunken orgies? -w-; sounds like this'll be one heck of a trip indeed.

My only issue is that Sheraton (at least here) is assingly expensive - then again, if we group up on the cost, it won't amount to all that much, so it might be A-OK.

[Chocofreak13]

i'ma check some prices, but idk if i'll be able to get a figure this far from the actual trip, so unfortunately everything might just be spectulation....

okie, lessee. after searching on a baltimore travel site found on otakon's home page, i have the following info (using the search criteria "check in 7/27/11, check out 7/31/11, 4 adults, 1 room, in the inner harbor region of Baltimore[i'd like to book asap to lock these rates]):

"Best Available Rate 400 Square Feet Non-smoking Room With 2 Double Beds Ihome Docking Station Animal Print Robes" : $279



out of these, i like the monaco the best (we get the most for our money, and animal print bathrobes!! ^^), however i left some out so if you'd like to look for yourself here's the site i searched at:

http://baltimore.org/

just enter the search criteria i used in the "online reservations" box. (if you don't use the criteria, at least make the location "inner harbor". that's where the convention hall is located.)

i also just shot off an email to the Baltimore chapter of Hostelling International USA (a hostel), though given that we'd want a sanctuary from the con i doubt we'll be booking there.


gimme some response, guys. i'll keep you updated when i get a reply from the hostel.

[Chocofreak13]

..........i don't feel well.....

give the way those figures were displayed (compared to the hilton which was obvious), i didn't expect those to be per night.....but priceline just gave the the reality....

i'ma go faint now....

[Krizonar]

don't worry. we won't LET YOU forget, especially since we need to book a hotel, and quick. :\
(and mac mafia OSX-kun is perfectly acceptable. -w-)

good!

and yay, then it's decided! I be a gangster cat head anthromorphism.



ANIMAL PRINT BATHROBES, THEY BETTER HAVE BIG CATS!

and yay again, they have a Hampton Inn nearby!

[Chocofreak13]

like i said, i don't feel well.......

i'm unsure if we can afford the bathrobes, someone remind me to email the hotel to ask about specific prices..... ;____;

[Krizonar]

Choco should email the hotel to ask about specific pric-/shot

I don't really need the bathrobes anyway, I have Snow Leopard patterned lounge pants already.

If it helps, I'll pay for my own room,
and I hope you feel better soon!

[Chocofreak13]

it's too expensive at that one

but i'm looking stuff up on expedia, and there's a few deals......but we'd have to lie through our teeth, and sneak most of us in. :\

ugh, i'ma do this after.

later.
