again keep in mind that sakuracon has about 15000 people where kumoricon had about 6000 and it is also in a 7 story convention center. That is going to cost A LOT more to rent out than a hotel.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #101 on:** January 02, 2009, 02:29:49 pm »

true, very true. but still at the same time. I wonder what the most amount for registering there is for a con.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #102 on:** January 02, 2009, 02:46:05 pm »

Also as the number of people go up the cost of insurance also goes up.

I'm sure there is a con that cost more than $60. There are some HUGE ones out there

tofutakeout · « **Reply #103 on:** January 02, 2009, 02:49:03 pm »

yeah there are much larger ones in comparison. I will get to indy-con one day. I will. *determined face* but for now I'll just get to scon once and then go from there.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #104 on:** January 02, 2009, 03:29:16 pm »

I may go to AX, and that's a freaking huge convention.

Until then, werkwerkwerkwerk and get the ruched bits of this skirt to WERK. And the petticoat. And getting the other petticoat to behave. And painting butterfly wings.

Trumby · « **Reply #105 on:** January 02, 2009, 03:39:41 pm »

Comic con is $75 for all four days..and that is the prereg price. I'm thinking of going to either that or AX this year.

That being said..I can't wait for sakura-con..going to be fun. I've got my room reserved at the Sheraton as well. I saw some friends rooms there last year and liked them.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #106 on:** January 02, 2009, 04:01:18 pm »

@trumby
well that is expensive but it's also 4 days instead of 3(which is awesome XD). and its a big con as well.

oslapedo · « **Reply #107 on:** January 02, 2009, 04:07:02 pm »

$60 at door? I'll definitely pre-reg if I can go

nikkiolie · « **Reply #108 on:** January 02, 2009, 06:14:13 pm »

I would love to go to either comic con or AX X3

maybe one year I'll get around to it

Seraph · « **Reply #109 on:** January 02, 2009, 06:34:19 pm »

I would like to visit AX once, but budget and transportation has always stopped me. I just hope RL issues dun make me cancel sakura.

oslapedo · « **Reply #110 on:** January 02, 2009, 06:39:11 pm »

I intensely want to go to Comicon because Mike and Brian alsways host an Avatar panel there. Do want.

I would luv to go to their Avatar Panel!! Its suppost to be really good!!!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #112 on:** January 02, 2009, 09:02:18 pm »

I would want to go to an Avatar Panel would be fun. The Harry Potter panel at mewcon was intense if it was anything like that, or better would be amazing

tofutakeout · « **Reply #113 on:** January 02, 2009, 09:24:41 pm »

just found out I'll probably be going to AX. 0_0 woah.

so I'll have two big cons this year. first scon then...just wow. I'm still shocked.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #114 on:** January 02, 2009, 09:25:13 pm »

GOD I WANT TO GO >_<

Cassiopeia · « **Reply #115 on:** January 03, 2009, 12:08:18 am »

I might go to AX this year instead of Sakura-Con.

:/

tofutakeout · « **Reply #116 on:** January 03, 2009, 12:13:31 am »

hey ku-con people should meet up at ax. that'd be cool. :3

I have a major feeling I'm going to get lost there and at scon because there so big. but I know I'll have a better time since I've been to cons compared to my friends I'm going with.

CrimsonHime · « **Reply #117 on:** January 03, 2009, 12:24:36 am »

ok silly question but whats AX ( I know its a con but which one??)

oslapedo · « **Reply #118 on:** January 03, 2009, 12:26:17 am »

There are epic clips of the Avatar panels from CCon on youtube, they look hilarious and amazing. My dream is to cosplay Suki's tea shop dress from the finale and go to their Avatar panel *_*

tofutakeout · « **Reply #119 on:** January 03, 2009, 12:30:59 am »

@hime
it's animeExpo. one of the largest anime cons. has its own little vid section on comcast. :3

CrimsonHime · « **Reply #120 on:** January 03, 2009, 12:33:21 am »

suki's dress looks sooo pretty!!! and where is anime expo?? ( hmmm cant believe i dont know this already)

tofutakeout · « **Reply #121 on:** January 03, 2009, 12:41:28 am »

http://www.anime-expo.org/
heres the website. :3

CrimsonHime · « **Reply #122 on:** January 03, 2009, 12:45:07 am »

Noooo now i want to go, too bad I dont think its going to be around when im gonna be down there for the btssb opening T-T. Why must hotels be soo expensive....
Oh well Sakura con and kumoricon *sparkly eyes*

oslapedo · « **Reply #123 on:** January 03, 2009, 12:48:55 am »

I'm determined to go to another con besides KCon! I want to go to CCon the most but Sakuracon would probably be more feasible...

tofutakeout · « **Reply #124 on:** January 03, 2009, 12:51:08 am »

I'm going to kcon, scon, AX, ory-con, and akicon as well. well I hope I can go to that last one. :/

CrimsonHime · « **Reply #125 on:** January 03, 2009, 12:52:22 am »

i have friends going to ccon ( need to start their costumes) and I really wnat to go to ax but unless i gain some relitives i can stay with its a no go this year lol

makichan · « **Reply #126 on:** January 03, 2009, 12:53:01 am »

My goal for this year is Sakuracon, Kumoricon, and Akicon.
Next year might be the year for something bigger.
Who knows?

xkuroxhanax · « **Reply #127 on:** January 03, 2009, 01:45:09 pm »

yeah. same-ish here. i'll be able to get to Sakura, Kumori, and probably Aki, this year. I'm also trying to get to fanime, anime evolution, and MEW if it goes for a second year, but I don't know about those ones, yet.

Trumby · « **Reply #128 on:** January 03, 2009, 10:35:07 pm »

@tofu: Yeah, the extra day does somewhat make up for the price. It think the only reason I'd go to comic con over AX is for all the Star Wars/Firefly costumers so I'll probably end up going to AX. If anyone ends up going we should hang out!

I think I'm going to try to have my Mal costume done by Sakura-con as well...need money to buy stuff for it.. <.<

ThiefKingsHier · « **Reply #129 on:** January 04, 2009, 02:27:56 am »

I havent gotten a badge or reserved a hotel room.

I think that if anything I will just pay for one day so I can check out the dealers room and maybe go to a dance. The rest of the time I will just hang out in the park for free. Thats all I normally do and its such a waste to pay $60. to do so.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #130 on:** January 04, 2009, 11:00:50 am »

I only payed $35 to go for all three days. If you register early enough its a great deal

xkuroxhanax · « **Reply #131 on:** January 04, 2009, 11:07:11 am »

xD i still havent registered for it.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #132 on:** January 04, 2009, 11:10:40 am »

well you need to get on to that

Though it's $45 till the end of pre-reg so you should be good

xkuroxhanax · « **Reply #133 on:** January 04, 2009, 11:13:51 am »

xD oh yeah, i know. i always just get caught up in what i want my badge name to be and put it off for like, ever. aahahaha. its the little things that get me. i mean, i've had hotel reservations for like months, at this point.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #134 on:** January 04, 2009, 11:14:51 am »

Well I usually make it a character name that I am going to be cosplaying but from now on I think it will be Nikkiolie

xkuroxhanax · « **Reply #135 on:** January 04, 2009, 11:16:06 am »

xD that's what i was thinking of doing.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #136 on:** January 04, 2009, 11:19:40 am »

my characters change so much so the names tend to be wrong

xkuroxhanax · « **Reply #137 on:** January 04, 2009, 11:20:49 am »

xD i usually stick to one cosplay per con. just because i hate having to travel with multiple costumes, and because it makes it easier when you're trying to find people/people are trying to find you and you dont always switch costumes.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #138 on:** January 04, 2009, 11:21:53 am »

I try to have one complicated or detailed costume per con. The other ones I'll wear if I wear them will be like normal clothes

Deviant Spider · « **Reply #139 on:** January 04, 2009, 12:35:07 pm »

I like to have a couple, inevidably I always wear one with horrible shoes, or somthing otherwise uncomfortable. So I can switch. I also bring many accessories "Cat Ears, Brain Slug (David's) etc" so I can just throw somthing together when I need too. I think I change my clothes 4+ times a day lol. But I rarely wear anything REALLY complicated.

xkuroxhanax · « **Reply #140 on:** January 04, 2009, 12:37:21 pm »

for me, its one complicated, complete costume that i wear for most of the con. for the other time, i just bring interesting clothing and ears that i can switch into if needed. and i like to have different clothes for the dances. because going to a dance in cosplay can be a downright pain.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #141 on:** January 04, 2009, 01:02:43 pm »

Yeah the most complicated one I have is Albel. The others are normalish clothes.

xkuroxhanax · « **Reply #142 on:** January 04, 2009, 01:03:45 pm »

good times. i havent seen the full albel costume yet.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #143 on:** January 04, 2009, 04:15:17 pm »

Its not quite done yet. I'm still making touchups for it. The plan is to have it done for Sakuracon but we'll see how that goes ^_^;

xkuroxhanax · « **Reply #144 on:** January 04, 2009, 04:27:59 pm »

xD yeah... that's what i'm planning for too. well, then good luck to both of us!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #145 on:** January 04, 2009, 04:51:03 pm »

Why thank you ^_^.

I'll start working on it soonish

xkuroxhanax · « **Reply #146 on:** January 04, 2009, 04:54:57 pm »

good times, good times. i'm starting actual work on mine like. next weekend maybe?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #147 on:** January 04, 2009, 04:59:18 pm »

I need to get the materials I need and in order to do that I have to have money v.v

xkuroxhanax · « **Reply #148 on:** January 04, 2009, 05:00:52 pm »

DD: that sucks. yeah, i'm using some birthday/christmas money that i've got lying around to get my fabric.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #149 on:** January 04, 2009, 05:16:06 pm »

I'm bringing three cosplays to Sakuracon, possibly four. Five if you count the casual whateverism I'm doing Thursday night for the pre-reg line. Angeal is probably what I'm doing Friday, and I'm switching between Grave of Maria and Deke on Saturday if Maria gets broken/too hard to walk in or vice-versa. Valclav is for Sunday because that's A, Easter and B, the Trinity Blood photoshoot.

I suppose it's a good thing I'm staying at the Sheraton. Nothing but a crosswalk and a flight of stairs to get into the con center. Conquering the escalators, however... Crap. There's elevators that go up to the fourth floor, right?
