or maybe he wants you to want him there but wants you to think that he thinks that you dont want him there so he can have an excuse to not go there even though he wants to go there since everyone wants him there (sorry had too ^^;

We could definitely be within city limits with each other. I should consult with my attorney and notaries public before I find out if we should be any closer.
I should probably mention a bit of hyperbole was used a little bit back.

But yeah, I usually show at most of the major meets, whether or not I'm wanted there. ^_^

Usually I come and hope that I'm accepted. Just flowing with what comes up. That usually gets me no trouble but also no excitement. No excitement, but also no trouble. Sacrificing possibly bigger fun for safe neutrality.
To me coming to things like this are like sailing a ship on the open sea. It's hard to know what's right unless you venture in and try it, even if it might seem to you like a friendship crushing risk to take. And I'm only afraid of being too much or not enough.

Luckily, I haven't had much fear when I've come to these events. I've found that if I think too deeply, I tend to worry myself silly.

Whoa, Jack Sparrow. I still understood that. But like I said, if you think too much about it, you'll worry so much that you'll clam up. You'll be there but too afraid to open up. You won't know if it's alright to come up to them and jump in, and they won't know if it's alright to come to you and bring you in.

Think of it this way in the words of Yoda:
Fear is the path to the dark side (full of sadness and pain)
Fear leads to anger (Fear of rejection leads to anger for not having tried when you had the chance)
Anger leads to hate (hating yourself for not taking the chance when you had it.)
Hate...leads to suffering (you'll torment yourself wondering if you are worth having fun with)

I wouldn't have such a big issue of this if my own brother wasn't a convicted rapist.

GEEZ, you guys talk a lot! But yeah, I totally see your point here. I know it's fiction (is TV still considered fiction? Whatever.), but there was an episode of Aliens in America when some new neighbors moved in and had to go around introducing the husband as a sex offender even though he had only been with his wife (then girlfriend) when they were 17 and 18 or something like that... But he was treated really terribly in public, like some chick came up to him and was all, "Stay away from our children, you pervert!" ...not rambling.

But yeah, I can definitely see your concern here... Despite that, I don't think having a conversation with a minor (and I think I'm the only one who openly describes herself as JAILBAT DESU! ...plus my icon is bella from twilight, so. lol.) is a crime, and if the swimsuit thing is an issue, public beaches should definitely be banned. Don't want any of that kiddie smut near my grandpa. ):

Should we bring any silly kid water games for added fun, or do you guys think it'll be fun enough just interacting with other people/taking pictures as it is?

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #55 on:** August 12, 2008, 08:19:26 am »

Well, like many have already said, there is really nothing wrong with hanging around with other people who are a few years younger than you. If you're afraid of that it would seem to make sense that you'd be afraid of the whole of Kumoricon as well.

It's not like everyone attending this thing is going to be kids, Nikkiolie is 20, and there are several others (heck, if I come I'll be a 21 year old, but I'm a guy, so that probably doesn't matter, lol). My point is, nobody is going to think anything about someone a couple years older hanging with a group that may have a few people who are younger. I think the only person putting that much pressure and paranoia on you is you (not directed at anyone specific, just whoever may feel like this event is inappropriate for them). If you really feel like it'd be a problem due to any secret fears or fears of intent, then just don't go. Go do something else. There are only like, thirty things going at any given time at this place; it's a great place to be, and you never HAVE to be anywhere if you're going to be uncomfortable with yourself.

TanisNikana · « **Reply #56 on:** August 12, 2008, 10:45:16 am »

Well, I'll just come. I pass for about 16 anyway.

Good diet and health!

Invader spleen · « **Reply #57 on:** August 12, 2008, 01:46:34 pm »

Yaaay, Tanis is coming! ^_^

TanisNikana · « **Reply #58 on:** August 12, 2008, 01:58:53 pm »

Dirty secret: I'm gonna shave that little bit of hair off me. I'm not as bad as Austin Powers, but I'm not quite hairless either. My front side looks like your average armpit about 13 years old or so.

Ain't that attractive?

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #59 on:** August 12, 2008, 02:41:18 pm »

OK... we're getting a little too much information here.

How many of you guys actually have reservations a the hotel?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #60 on:** August 12, 2008, 02:42:10 pm »

I......do not v.v

Invader spleen · « **Reply #61 on:** August 12, 2008, 02:57:21 pm »

You'd have to actually have a room to do that, huh? ._.,

nikkiolie · « **Reply #62 on:** August 12, 2008, 03:04:22 pm »

no but at least one person does

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #63 on:** August 12, 2008, 03:25:39 pm »

Hopefully more than just one of you will be staying at the hotel. Otherwise everyone is sort of tied to that one person.

Invader spleen · « **Reply #64 on:** August 12, 2008, 03:26:29 pm »

Umm, I'm guessing more than one person has a room but who knows. $:-\$

nikkiolie · « **Reply #65 on:** August 12, 2008, 03:34:56 pm »

I'm sure more than one will. But we need at least one ^_^

TanisNikana · « **Reply #66 on:** August 12, 2008, 03:35:54 pm »

I'm booking floorspace.

Serika · « **Reply #67 on:** August 12, 2008, 03:49:05 pm »

Tom, how big of a problem will it be if not everyone has a room?

Jarnan · « **Reply #68 on:** August 12, 2008, 04:05:03 pm »

This sounds interesting, and if you need an 18+ person there with a room, you can count me.

oslapedo · « **Reply #69 on:** August 12, 2008, 04:12:33 pm »

I'm staying at the DT

Ryu-chan · « **Reply #70 on:** August 12, 2008, 10:31:48 pm »

red lion here ;_;WAS gonna go double tree and could've but i didnt ><

oslapedo · « **Reply #71 on:** August 12, 2008, 10:55:09 pm »

It's okay Ryu, there's already a handful of us staying within the con space. All is well

Gourry Gabriev kun · « **Reply #72 on:** August 12, 2008, 11:37:29 pm »

"Sounds really fun! I'm probably just gonna lounge around the pool.. And I don't have a room or anything; is it okay to be by the pool without going in it if you don't have a room? I mean, I wouldn't have to be tied to a person with a room if I don't use the pool, right?" XD;;

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #73 on:** August 13, 2008, 05:13:28 pm »

Next year I'll make sure to remember to ask if the pool is considered con space.

Indoor pools are not part of conspace since they are usually locked, this is a special case though.

Gourry Gabriev kun · « **Reply #74 on:** August 13, 2008, 05:53:41 pm »

"Humm, sounds complicated." @__@

oslapedo · « **Reply #75 on:** August 13, 2008, 06:11:03 pm »

I could hide you all under my towel

Gourry Gabriev kun · « **Reply #76 on:** August 13, 2008, 06:48:24 pm »

"Oooh, I'm game with that." X3

SoraKitsune · « **Reply #77 on:** August 13, 2008, 06:56:57 pm »

This sounds so cool. I can do this and be in cosplay. I will have a room at the dt. Or be sharing one. Im going to be femy Shika in a green bathing suit.

oslapedo · « **Reply #78 on:** August 13, 2008, 11:09:36 pm »

Towel no justu! x)

Shiki in a swim suit sounds cool. I should get me a new bathing suit...

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #79 on:** August 13, 2008, 11:13:19 pm »

Sounds like you have plenty of people staying at the Doubletree, one less thing to worry about!

I hope that none of the people in the staff suites try sleeping while you guys are out there.

oslapedo · « **Reply #80 on:** August 13, 2008, 11:34:53 pm »

No worries, we'll behave!

Serika · « **Reply #81 on:** August 14, 2008, 03:31:05 am »

Okay, then it's all good. 8D

I mentioned this in the other thread but forgot to bring it up here...

After we finish having pool funtime, how many of you would be willing to walk over to Lloyd Center or somewhere for dinner funtume together?

Sugarlat · « **Reply #82 on:** August 14, 2008, 03:53:07 am »

How long is this till?
[/working out schedule XD]

Serika · « **Reply #83 on:** August 14, 2008, 04:08:48 am »

Ummm...I'm going to guess the pool party will probably go from an hour to an hour and a half? At the most two hours. People will probably be getting hungry around 6. And then eating depends on where we go and how long it takes to find a place people want to go.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #84 on:** August 14, 2008, 04:59:24 am »

Pocky panel is after that so....XD
Hmm...What are the rules to attend?

oslapedo · « **Reply #85 on:** August 14, 2008, 10:32:11 am »

What time does this start at? I don't want it to interfere with the forum panel =o

Gourry Gabriev kun · « **Reply #86 on:** August 14, 2008, 10:32:56 am »

"Oooh, dinner funtime afterwards sounds heavenly!" ^ v ^

SoraKitsune · « **Reply #87 on:** August 14, 2008, 02:06:16 pm »

Not sure if I can join the dinner time fun. I dont even have my schedual figured out. Oh Ill be the Shikamaru with Blond/Blue/brown hair. Ino did it.

Serika · « **Reply #88 on:** August 14, 2008, 03:24:58 pm »

@Sugarlat: What do you mean? I don't think we have any special requirements outside of the hotel/convention policies.

@oslapedo: I'm assuming you mean when the pool party starts. It starts at 5, though I myself may be a few minutes late because I'll be rushing over from another photoshoot. 8D;

oslapedo · « **Reply #89 on:** August 14, 2008, 06:53:31 pm »

Okay

I have to work out my schedule, I shall be done with that later ^_^

TanisNikana · « **Reply #90 on:** August 14, 2008, 07:26:15 pm »

Hmm... I could cosplay as Piro without a problem; I remember a scene in Megatokyo where he gets in a pool and so forth; I could pull that off. The hair, check. Glasses, check. Sarcastic and naive style, check. Wardrobe, check.

Piro I will be. ^_^

Kotarik · « **Reply #91 on:** August 14, 2008, 08:54:56 pm »

I'll be there, but my costume doesn't really work with water (hige from wolfs rain)

oslapedo · « **Reply #92 on:** August 14, 2008, 10:31:08 pm »

I need to go bathing suit shopping. Again...

Sugarlat · « **Reply #93 on:** August 14, 2008, 10:57:24 pm »

I still need everything for hunny XD
Skin shirt, hunny swimming trunks, some way to bind and uh...a pink innertube XD

oslapedo · « **Reply #94 on:** August 14, 2008, 10:59:47 pm »

Spending money before the con makes me very sad

Sugarlat · « **Reply #95 on:** August 14, 2008, 11:02:42 pm »

Same but it must be done.
I'm working my ass off to get this things done and paid for...
I'm going to work at 6 am XD
Have to iron some pants then head over to Dana's for a dance rehearsal.

oslapedo · « **Reply #96 on:** August 14, 2008, 11:06:54 pm »

I'm jealous of your having a job! I was 14 until a few weeks ago so I was undesirable and unhirable

The Pool Party's on Saturday right? If so I'll be late like 30 minutes because of the forum meet up panel.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #97 on:** August 14, 2008, 11:14:08 pm »

tell me about it. I have to spend $100 just to get my hair the same color as Temari's x.x

I should also look for a swim suit that might match but I guess it isn't that important.

oslapedo · « **Reply #98 on:** August 14, 2008, 11:34:25 pm »

Wow that's some determination! I don't need to drastically change my hair for Kyonko, but for Raito I just got a wig (which I hope arrives in time!).

I might just come in my totally OOC yellow and green bikini

It'd save time, effort, and money! With the bonus of looking retarded! xD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #99 on:** August 14, 2008, 11:37:49 pm »

well i was going to get my hair dyed anyway, plus using my own hair for a hairdo such as Temari's is so much easier than trying to do it on a wig. Plus I LOVE my hair and it does almost anything I want it to.
