OMG I am so excited. XD Everything's ready to go, and I'll be there with my awesome group of friends. I shall be there as Matt and staying at the hotel for a night! X3

@ nikkiolei - I'm hoping to get a room, either by sharing with someone from the con forums, or that my dad can pay for one =/ I'm also trying to find a ride back the second day. If I can't find a ride, then i'll only be there the first day.

Are you staying at the hotel?

Broadcast

Anyone in the eugene area willing to give me a ride back from con the second day?

-feels like a dork for asking- XDD;

I need a top hat for this. Nichole we need to work on our wigs at your house tomorrow before leaving. x.x; At least give them a touchup. My Axel wig looks really cute right now.

Hazuza · « **Reply #303 on:** December 30, 2008, 08:56:27 am »

haha. hee.

I didn't prepare really until the last minute, so I've been rushing to get everything together and to contact everyone ouo It's been hectic.

But now my stuff's all packed and I'm ready to head out! See everyone there *0*

nikkiolie · « **Reply #304 on:** December 30, 2008, 09:19:02 am »

@Bundyangel I am not staying at a hotel I am having a few friends stay at my house.

@ Sayda: Thats fine, you can work on your wig here. I figured you would be anyway

I'm so excited for this. Its starts in less than 12 hours (for those that are pre-reged)

Blackstar · « **Reply #305 on:** December 30, 2008, 12:13:06 pm »

Who is going to the pre-event for the people who pre-reregistered.
I am

nikkiolie · « **Reply #306 on:** December 30, 2008, 12:16:12 pm »

I'll be there. Not sure if I'll be in costume or not >_>

Sayda · « **Reply #307 on:** December 30, 2008, 01:22:36 pm »

I'm not pre-registered, but I'm going to show up anyway! I know that I will probably be in costume, but I'm not sure yet.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #308 on:** December 30, 2008, 01:24:09 pm »

>_< I was trying on the top for my costume and the zipper came off >_< >_< >_<

but I got it fixed. I need to add a little glue to the top of the zipper to make sure it doesn't come off again >_>

Sayda · « **Reply #309 on:** December 30, 2008, 01:25:57 pm »

I NEED TO FIND A GLUE SUBSTANCE. For my face. Tape doesn't work. Any ideas? It needs to stick to my face, and parts of the wig.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #310 on:** December 30, 2008, 01:31:42 pm »

I have sports tape >_> Its made for the skin. Or you could use supper glue

or even spirit gum?

Sayda · « **Reply #311 on:** December 30, 2008, 01:40:00 pm »

But will it stick to wig hair? I was thinking about super glue, but I don't want it to damage my skin, or the wig. Aaaand I've never tried spirit gum. I've never seen spirit gum, either. x.x

nikkiolie · « **Reply #312 on:** December 30, 2008, 01:46:18 pm »

I have some here. You are welcome to try it out. As for the sports tape it pulled off all the little hairs on my chest the last time I used it x.x

Sayda · « **Reply #313 on:** December 30, 2008, 02:00:54 pm »

Okay awesome. I'm going to the Halloween store today, did you need anything there for Cosplay? XD

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #314 on:** December 30, 2008, 02:02:07 pm »

So Kahlan and I will be coming by for pre-reg tonight to pick up our stuff. We don't have a room booked until tomorrow night, so we won't be staying tonight, but we will be there for a little bit. Hope to see some of you!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #315 on:** December 30, 2008, 02:03:55 pm »

I will keep an eye out for you. ^_^ If you see me say Hi

No I'm good

Sayda · « **Reply #316 on:** December 30, 2008, 02:20:42 pm »

Eve are either of you going to be Cosplaying for Mewcon?

@Nikki : Righto!

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #317 on:** December 30, 2008, 04:23:17 pm »

No, neither of us are cosplaying. We just don't have it in us right now, kinda burnt out (as far as dressing, cosplaying, creating goes).

nikkiolie · « **Reply #318 on:** December 30, 2008, 04:28:59 pm »

you are no fun.

Well it would be easier to pick you out of a crowd since you aren't dressing up XD

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #319 on:** December 30, 2008, 04:32:41 pm »

Sorry, lol. I don't have any new costumes, and I feel like I have been falling back on Barret a lot lately. I'm giving it some time off.

Mewcon feels so laid back, almost like a non-con (not in the bad sense, of course), I feel like I can just attend without a costume and actually be okay, haha. I plan to just enjoy the con and let others have the cosplay glory for once (as if I'm some sort of attention-hog, lol). Now I can focus on taking pictures!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #320 on:** December 30, 2008, 04:35:51 pm »

Yeah I guess that is a good thing

I plan on taking a lot of pictures. I can't wait to show off Kimimaro

oslapedo · « **Reply #321 on:** December 30, 2008, 07:07:30 pm »

I got my Kallen cosplay, I luffs it! We should be leaving early tomorrow, we didn't pre-reg so I look forward to waiting in line with everyone

superjaz · « **Reply #322 on:** December 30, 2008, 09:50:59 pm »

hope you guys have fun, i has the work and with the hives still going on not much in a party mood but have a blast for me!

Blackstar · « **Reply #323 on:** December 30, 2008, 11:23:23 pm »

I feel kind of guilty because I think I travailed the lest distance to get to the con. I travailed about 9 miles to get there. XD

makichan · « **Reply #324 on:** December 30, 2008, 11:32:28 pm »

I can't go ::sniff:: but have fun for meeee! ^0^
and someone better video record the choreography contest and upload it so I can watch xD
Have fun everyone!

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #325 on:** December 30, 2008, 11:33:21 pm »

So, quite the kick-off! (I'm kidding, lol)

No, but sitting around was alright, having Marie, Stephen, and Nichole show up made waiting for pre-reg to open more bearable.

I'll see you all tomorrow!

oslapedo · « **Reply #326 on:** December 31, 2008, 07:20:16 am »

Wheee! We're leaving soon, I'm pumped to wait in some lines!

Syd-chan · « **Reply #327 on:** December 31, 2008, 07:34:34 am »

XD;; Mom still hasn't woken up. ....one hour drive plus waiting in line to pay....ugh. XD

oslapedo · « **Reply #328 on:** December 31, 2008, 07:48:02 am »

Syddie you're going? I can't wait to see you. Lawl, we just got out of Safeway and we accidentally spent $11 on grapes

Syd-chan · « **Reply #329 on:** December 31, 2008, 07:55:39 am »

XD VERY last minute, and just for today. ME EITHER. I should give you my cell number. XD

How do you accidentally spend money on fruit?!

Syd-chan · « **Reply #330 on:** December 31, 2008, 08:01:23 am »

MEWCON IS OFFICIALLY OPEN

.....i think

nikkiolie · « **Reply #331 on:** December 31, 2008, 01:20:43 pm »

I'm having fun. Its quite small but still fun ^_^

I need to take pictures now =/

oslapedo · « **Reply #332 on:** December 31, 2008, 02:47:56 pm »

I'm in Tanis' Go panel at the moment. Mew is pretty small but it's alright xD

makichan · « **Reply #333 on:** December 31, 2008, 06:09:45 pm »

I expect more details when someone here reaches a computer or cell phone with internet access.
Gimme the goods!

Deviant Spider · « **Reply #334 on:** December 31, 2008, 07:53:41 pm »

I just dropped in for an hour or so (as Industry with Kumoricon) and yes it is very small, and its very much so their first year in that respect, but EVERYONE seemed to be having fun. Not many attendees as far as I could see but it looked like lots of people were having fun or hanging out. I think this was a great way for some people to spend New Years (especially our younger Anime fans!) If you arent allready there and you can, I would say check it out tomorrow. Its small enough to see in one day if you dont mind missing some panels and stuff.

Blackstar · « **Reply #335 on:** December 31, 2008, 09:40:51 pm »

Wow Mew con is fun. I stared to feel sick after Bang-Bang Neko Playhouse. That was so fun. I cheated at musical chairs (I am sorry to the person I pulled the chair out from under). So I am at home and will stay here the rest. HOPE TO SEE YOU AT THE CON TOMORROW.

Sayda · « **Reply #336 on:** December 31, 2008, 10:56:22 pm »

The con's alright. I feel like we shouldn't have paid 40$ for such a small con, especially since it's only two nights. Akicon was three days, and it was only 25$.

oslapedo · « **Reply #337 on:** January 01, 2009, 12:37:38 am »

I totally agree with Sayda. As fun as the Slants concert just was (probably the best part of Mew! Ow!) there wasn't really anything going on for hours and hours on end. I can has better second day nao?

RemSaverem · « **Reply #338 on:** January 01, 2009, 04:20:51 am »

I was considering driving up though may be too tired...can anyone be more precise? How small is small? What's on the agenda for today? What are the hours of available programming for today?

Evaldas · « **Reply #339 on:** January 01, 2009, 08:16:16 am »

This is the schedule that they have online:

http://www.mewcon.com/schedule/index.php

RemSaverem · « **Reply #340 on:** January 01, 2009, 01:19:18 pm »

Thx, I am 100% sure I'd've loved it
(and have to ask if I can borrow that name FanFic Free-For-All!)
but my hermit of a boyfriend gave me a footrub and backrub and I melted and decided not to drive to Portland without him.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #341 on:** January 01, 2009, 01:35:37 pm »

Hmm, well......I'll be the one to say I wasn't all that keen on M.E.W.con after coming back from it. It was really cool to see A-Key Kyo again, I'm very happy that the staff invited them to play there, that was cool. Other than that though...there just was not anything going on. It's sad really, because there was potential for it to be better than it was.

Okay, I'll change that. It's not the fact that there wasn't stuff going on, there were a few things here and there. But it seemed like the schedule just collapsed all together by the second day (today). Everything I tried to attend just never happened. Rooms were left open and unattended despite the updated schedule having things planned for those locations. It just felt like there was no order or structure after the first few hours of the pre-reg evening.

I'm not trying to be negative, though. I can understand that it is the first year and problems are certain to arise. Still though...I was hoping for better.

And Kahlan says ditto.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #342 on:** January 01, 2009, 04:36:14 pm »

There wasn't too many events that I was really interested in going to. We just hung out in the lobby or in the rooms making funny faces

It wasn't too bad, it was fun to hang out with people and I am hoping that the next year will be better. Maybe it will grow

RemSaverem · « **Reply #343 on:** January 01, 2009, 07:48:45 pm »

Still waiting to hear anything regarding the actual attendance, and also perhaps the # of staff & volunteers.
Perhaps New Year's is a time so many folks with a lot of con experience are doing other things with family, significant others, or out of state, that they couldn't get enough folks to work the con to keep it organized? But seriously a bunch of empty rooms during times that were scheduled--I'm in Eugene so I wouldn't know--was weather a factor this weekend? (It's been rainy but 50 degrees here.) Otherwise that's an uncomfortable flake factor--either panelists not showing up or someone not engaging coordination. Perhaps B, leading to A. For example I helped a friend plan some panels. She totally was excited and determined to follow through--even though no one ever replied to her or to me regarding the scheduling of her panels. So she didn't know where to be when til arriving. I love the couple of KC vets involved in MEW so I am positive towards the event, but it sounds disappointing at the organizational level, yet a great time at the socializing level. Mustach, what did you so love about it?

Darknight2433 · « **Reply #344 on:** January 01, 2009, 08:11:08 pm »

It was reaaaaally fun, but totally not worth the money. 80 for Ari and me wasn't what I would call fair, but The Slants were awesome and I had a lot of fun with my friends~

nikkiolie · « **Reply #345 on:** January 01, 2009, 08:12:18 pm »

I would estimate that there was about 250 people there....though I don't have exact numbers. Also the con is still going on. It ends tonight at midnight. I'm sure they announce the attendance at the closing ceremonies.

yeah the cost was way too much for that >_>

Sayda · « **Reply #346 on:** January 01, 2009, 08:56:00 pm »

Oho man! That Harry Potter panel was attractive! Golly jee willikers there were a few people that just needed to calm down. They were being sourpatches about things. But other then that, it was entertaining.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #347 on:** January 01, 2009, 09:13:54 pm »

What's this about a Harry Potter ruckus? Were magic wands involved?

Sayda · « **Reply #348 on:** January 01, 2009, 09:19:49 pm »

Haah, no. More like magic butter in a cup. There was a very angry person in there that was really upset with life. There were plenty of nerds, though!

And a voice changing thing that Megan had. Oh man it was great.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #349 on:** January 01, 2009, 09:33:00 pm »

Hmm, no con is safe from con-drama, lol.
