For the times, we were waiting for the schedule to be released, so we could try to avoid as many big panels/things as possible, not just the World Meetings. While we do still have time to pick a time, and would love to have it set, going off a draft of the schedule that's only been released to panel heads isn't the best of plans, as it is likely to change some before the final draft is released.
Regardless, I'll pop down the times as possibilities while we wait for the schedule.
@Raven I'll probably be at both in Hetalia cosplay. I have no idea for the ball, because it gets pretty hot and not layer-friendly, but I'll probably pop by the Rave in Fem!America. c:
Ran up to Eugene yesterday to get fabric, and $100 later, I'm still short some. xD;
But getting all that sewn'll take up this next week before I run back up for more~
