Mewcon?
« on: September 02, 2008, 02:34:34 pm »
I've been hearing murmurs about Mewcon from everyone and I'm curious about it. I might be at my mom's in Vanouver during winter break, so it's totally a possibility that I could go ;D Anyone else have information, or planning to go?

The website is here. It takes place December 31st through January 1st, and it is in Vancouver, WA.

There will be events similar to Kumoricon's: anime viewings, gaming, contests (I'm sure). Also, A-Key Kyo and The Slants will both be playing there.

I haven't registered yet but I plan to do so and attend. It sounds very fun.

Oh sweet sauce. It looks like it's in it's first year, I think I'll probably be there with my little sister :) I imagine a bunch of KCon veterans will be there, I'm getting pretty excited for it already : D

Sweet! I'll be with my mom, since it'll be during winter break! Yay convenience!

Oh and I made an account on the mewcon forums, they're pretty nice, but it's disorienting since I'm so used to these ones :D

It's not just an anime convention; it's for sci-fi and fantasy too, so in addition to anime, there will be a viewing room which will prob'ly have movies playing.

It also means a potentially wider array of costumes~  :D

That's really cool, I'm totally set on going to this ;D

I'm thinking maybe at Mewcon we could have a KCon meetup, so everyone who's been to KCon this year can see everyone all over again. I know I miss all the friends I made at KCon already <3

I'm hoping that the wider variety of content might let me persuade my boyfriend to come to this with me; he collected Star Wars figurines as a kid.

I think it's a brilliant idea. My friends and I talked about how cool it would to have one on New Years and viola! Years later, there's a con!

No doubt! (*has been to Greece*)

Although in Greece it has the numeric value of 40, it is the *12th* letter of the Greek alphabet.
This is a *New Year's Eve* party, i.e., the most important time to mark and celebrate will be *12 am.*
(Also per wikipedia in Christianity it's used as the middle point between alpha and omega, so another logical twist for marking midnight with it.)
I do not know if alcohol will be allowed at the party (but I imagine those of age can at least drink in their hotel rooms). Might be appropriate to toast with a *micro* brew, since most who know of mu know it as a symbol for the prefix "micro".

Meantime given that this con also ties in sci fi and fantasy, those obsessed with Lost
*ahem*
*blushes*
*watches eps on the abc site obsessively*
may know that

"Typing the numbers (4,8,15,16,23,42) from the fictional TV series Lost resulted in the character "µ". In Microsoft Windows, holding down the "Alt" key while entering these numbers results in the character appearing wherever your cursor is (though the 4 and 8 are superfluous). (this does not work in XP or later OS versions)" (per Wikipedia).

Then of course there is that mu is also used to denote the
"Standard gravitational parameter of a celestial body, the product of the gravitational constant G and the mass M." (per Wikipedia).
(Most wouldn't know this, but a long-time friend of mine researches gravity at U of O at a PhD level....)
So it would be appropriate (if 18+)to watch Gravitation LOL!

i didnt think it was particularly pretty  but it was straight forward.  ive seen some asswackward websites where i felt that they were trying to hid info from me, i thought the site was easy to maneuver.

I go on the forums all the time. There aren't any information for panels because we haven't come up with a whole lot. There are a few things that we're planning to have, I think. Just ask on the forums about anything you want to know.

Post on the forums and people will follow!

There is a bar on-sight where all drinking will occur.  I'm going to be working hard to try to have close-circuit TV's set up in Gaming, the bar, and the lobby hooked up to be viewing main events so nobody misses out on the celebrations. :]

hopefully I can make it to mewcon. There's another con in it's first year called Aki-con, it's in Everett though so there might be more people from sakura con going to that one instead of Kcon. Lucky me, I live just about the same distance from all of them, hurray for four hour drives to cons!!!

Shouldn't be hard to afford.  Just put aside $50 and pre-register ASAP.  It's only one night so no exorbitant hotel fees.
