Ahhhhhh.....alright, then....guess I just flashed my n00b badge, didn't I?

That's right folks 6 days, 5 if you count day 0 as a day of Kumoricon. Time to start finishing up that last minutre shopping and get your suitcases down. Just make sure to pack as light as you can even with your costumes because you'll need all that space to collect souveniers at the con. And most certainly don't forget about money for food. Food is your friend at the con expecially if you're going to be doing stuff that requires a lot of energy. And if you have one use a digital camera to take a liot odf pictures. I'll have my camera along to do some picture taking for my blog.

6 days untill Kumoricon folks I'm Animeman73, AND THC OUNTDOWN TO KUMORICON CONTINUES!!!!!

Lol i made that mistake last year of not packing light. I bought a bunch of figurines and this huge Azumanga daioh body pillow and i had to stuff everything as tight as it could go into my already full luggage xD This year i'm actually planning on packing only one luggage and leaving the other one empty so i have somewhere to put all of my stuff ^^;

StarryShay · « **Reply #253 on:** August 28, 2011, 12:46:26 pm »

NONE OF MY STUFF IS FINISHED THOUGH ;___;

Randonarnold · « **Reply #254 on:** August 28, 2011, 01:22:17 pm »

I doubt I'll buy much in the Dealer's Hall, I might get some manga and maybe some plushies, but that's about it. Should I wait until sunday-monday to buy stuff. Cause I heard dealers put stuff on sale.

Saki-the-cat · « **Reply #255 on:** August 28, 2011, 01:26:48 pm »

I suggest going there for a while every day. The first day is when everyone has full stock. There tends to be new things brought out on day two. And on day three, there definitely isn't as much stuff as before, but a lot of it is priced lower (i actually sort of regretted spending all of my money the days before because i found some art books that were $40 and marked half off for $20).

Tranny · « **Reply #256 on:** August 28, 2011, 01:38:30 pm »

Good to know. Their is definatly one thing I'm searching for on the first day tho <.< That Kyoya plushy can't avoid me forever! DX

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #257 on:** August 28, 2011, 02:39:37 pm »

^ Which Kyoya are you looking for? (I'm assuming the one from Ouran High...?)

Tranny · « **Reply #258 on:** August 28, 2011, 03:16:14 pm »

Yep! Every where online is sold out when I look

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #259 on:** August 28, 2011, 03:19:54 pm »

Ahh... well, I can try to keep my eye out for one. I'll probably be spending some time in the Dealer's Hall on Saturday, depending on what's going on with the Auction schedule...

Randonarnold · « **Reply #260 on:** August 28, 2011, 07:31:39 pm »

If I'm not a shoot, lunch, panel, or doing stuff with friends; I'll be in the Dealer's Hall, I got to remember to save money to get a case of Ramune from Uwajimaya while I'm there.

5 days until me and my crew head up. We don't live far, (near Portland Metro Area) but we're going up on day zero.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #263 on:** August 28, 2011, 10:11:23 pm »

Yup, my group is heading up on day zero as well (but for the sake of the countdown we'll keep pretending things start on day 1).

Animeman73 · « **Reply #264 on:** August 28, 2011, 10:35:20 pm »

After work is done for me I'll be heading over to the hillton. Hey RPGgamer4life maybe I'll meet you there. Judging from your name you're an RPG gamer. If you want we can talk about RPG games. I too am an RPGer mysel in fact I've been one since the early 90's so if you want I could tell you about the RPGs I've played. I'll be dressed as Henry Townshend from Silent Hill 4 and carrying an axe just so you can know what to look for if you decide to take me up on my offer.

Well I'm staying at my friend's aunt house. Beats spending money on a hotel.

But sure, what are your favorite RPGS? I'm guessing you enjoy JRPGs?

5 DAYS LEFT TILL DAY 1!!!!!

Animeman73 · « **Reply #269 on:** August 29, 2011, 06:39:36 am »

That's right folks 5 days getting down to the wire. GEt your gear packed and your money beacuse soon it'll be time for The Hilton and the red Lion to become the anime center of the universe. Things will get silly, wacky, and you might even see a glomp circles if the weather cooperates. You may even catch yours truly wandering about I still am on a mmission to collect some Claymore Manga. All I can say is enjoy yourselves and if yoare looking for something in particular from the dealers get to the dealer's hall as quickly as you can. Because these deals are like a home run they're going, going, GONE quick as that!

I'm Animeman73, AND THE COUNTDOWN TO KUMORICON CONTINUES!!!!!

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #270 on:** August 29, 2011, 09:05:42 am »

5 DAYS!!!

I still have stuff to get done but I can't sew so I can only wait for Britt and hope she will be able to get everything done. Aaaaaaah!

But I'm excited regardless, lol.

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #271 on:** August 29, 2011, 11:15:38 am »

...

I haven't been able to sew at all really because I've needed my mom's help and she's been super busy
and now she's upset...

StarryShay · « **Reply #272 on:** August 29, 2011, 11:17:33 am »

FIVE DAYS LEFT AND I HAVE STILL NOT FINISHED ANYTHING

WHY AM I SO STUPID

TheArtNinja · « **Reply #273 on:** August 29, 2011, 11:42:02 am »

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! 5 (or perhaps 4, depending on your reckoning) days until the convention!

princessmoon · « **Reply #274 on:** August 29, 2011, 12:15:43 pm »

It's official--I am a procrastinator. I need time to slow down...then again, I would like the con to approach sooner

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #275 on:** August 29, 2011, 12:21:47 pm »

I'm so torn. I'm stoked for con and want it to get here, but at the same time I want it not to come yet because once it's here...it's gone. Then I have to wait another year, and that's a bummer. Anyone else in this boat?

Yes, we've been on that boat every year we have attended! I've been looking forward to Kcon since the last one, but the three days of fun pass by so quickly! My brother and I have gone to Sakuracon in between Kcon waiting periods, but Kumoricon just has that "home" feeling. We're thinking of attending ones located in CA, but still... ♥ Kumoricon ♥

Yeah, I feel the same way. In a sense, that's the only thing I don't look forward to about Kumoricon: that it ends.

I try not to thknk about that xD I mean, just think, it may be over when it's overwith, but there's still countless exciting things coming up after that (I don't know about you, but i'm pretty excited to see the Lion king in theatres, also Halloween is coming up soon too).
But let's not think about that now! Let's think, "Omg Kumoricon is only 5 days away!!! 8DDD"

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #280 on:** August 29, 2011, 02:14:40 pm »

The build-up to the con itself is actually a very important piece of the whole experience. We spend months on here getting excited for it, but the event itself is only a few days. So, yeah, being on here builds it up so much, and thankfully we can all come right back to the forums after it ends and continue on with our non-stop con-party, heh

Animeman73 · « **Reply #296 on:** August 30, 2011, 11:07:30 am »

That's right folks 4 days left, 3 if you're planning to arrive on Day 0 like me. Hurry up and finish up those cosplays with the all mighty all powerful glue gun. Get those last minute supplies together and get that suitcase at least close to getting zipped up and readdy to go. In my experience I find that having a trfaveller's bag, the kind with wheels and the little handle that can be folded or pulled out and pushed in helps because it a little less to carry. And best of luck to those of you who are planning to enter any of the wonderful contrests at Kumoricon. The fun is about to begin folks are you ready for the anime wackiness?

I'm Animeman73, AND THE COUNTDOWN TO KUMORICON CONTINUES!!!
