Can't wait for the con, but I just thought I'd post in here that I'll be there, and most likely be eating food found in my hotel room.

I second bringing food with you to keep in your hotel room! My friends and I do that for cons, and it's very helpful and saves money. :3

Then again our room for S-con is about 5 blocks away sooooo.. not sure how helpful that's gonna be. XD

PROTIP: Stock your hotel room (and/or backpack) with food items too. Helps in a pinch.

i swear its like you know my friends big daddy, big gay john and big mike (not very original names i know :D )

Dick's Burger is open late...also there is an awsome pizza joint up on capitol hill that I can't remember the name of, but they are awsome & open late.
We are going to this pizza place one night
Indeed we are^^ Jess & I will be going to several of our favorite places to eat while we are up there so just follow away :P

When I travel anywhere...especially Seattle...I bring plenty of money so that I can eat at all the awsome places. Nothing says vacation like good food everyday...& Seattle certainly has plenty of that to offer.

Cyprus, looking forward to seeing you at the con and I'm currenntly working on getting the days off from work I need. Fortunately since I'm one of my workp[lace's more reliable employees I can get what I need.
Good to hear it, will be fun to meet more forum peeps.

My biggest issue with Sakuracon (and it's not even an issue with the con) is the lack of 24-hour (in particular, 3am) food options.  Last year I got out of a dance tired, hungry, and sore and couldn't do anything about any of those three problems until staff preservation opened three hours later.  The lack of night life really kills Seattle for me.  My hours of operation are 3pm to 6am, so it's not really my kind of city, but other than that it's alright.

If you head up Pike to about a block beyond the Homewood Suites, the McMenamins Six Arms is open until 2am. If you trek all the way to Broadway and go north on it half a block, Pita Pit is open until 3am. I know, a bit of a walk, but it's something.
This information is very helpful to know.  Thanks. :>

I realized after posting, the Six Arms might be 21+ only in the evening. I vaguely recall there is a sign on the door to that effect. So be sure to check that before heading there at night.

Also, I believe Dragonfish is open until 2am each night now, about a block from the convention center. They have cheap items during happy hour (may not be filling enough).

I'm almost 100% certain that the Six Arms is 21+ after hours...some of my favorite micro-brews are from McMenamins breweries, so I go there with friends frequently & I do recall being carded each time.

Sometime soon I am going to post some details for a small meetup in Seattle during Sakuracon weekend for anyone that wants to go to the WingDome. Awsome food there! Would need people to be comfortable on the bus & have a few bucks extra to ride. I wouldn't recommend cosplay eating wings personally lol...they tend to get messy. Would be cool if there were some super spicy food eaters that are going so they can do the 7 alarm challenge!

If I can't go, neither can Charly (as I'm her ride) and then I would feel like a butt head.
So, yes, I need to know now.

Emotion builds as I count the days. Before, wishing it would get closer and sooner. And now, letting it take its time to arrive or delay one more day.
I'm being pulled between the convention and another element, both of which are roughly the same price.

They are still finishing the schedule. They'll post it on the web soon. They always post it a couple weeks (roughly) before the con, so there will be time to plan.

I'm probably not going to cosplay. I will however be taking pictures of the voice actors and the cosplayers for my blog. All upon asking said individuals permission of course. I pride myself on courtesy in that regard.

http://www.sakuracon.org/programming/schedule.php
Opening Ceremonies will be 10:00am-10:30am again this year...was posted yesterday on the Sakura-Con forums.

I am excited to go up to that wonderful city again :D For any of you wanting to eat some hot wings with a bunch of us Central Oregon HDC peoples, looks like we are having lunch at WingDome on Friday. We will probably meet around noon or earlier to take the #5 bus there. Will be back in time for the Trigun Movie Premiere which is at 5pm for sure since I want to make it to the Anime Hunter's Panel as well. You are more than welcome to join, I suggest casual wear & not cosplay since food from a wing place is messy.

Dually noted my friend. I hadn't planned on wearing any cosplay anyway. I'm saving that for Kumoricon. So you're meeting Friday eh? Question where are you going to be meeting before you go to the Wingdome? I could meet up with you and the HDC there. By the way do you have an e-mail address so i can send you a picture of myself so you'll know who to look for? Also could i get a picture of you so I'll know who to look for? PM me as soon as you can Cyprus.

I'm thinking early lunch, probably right after closing ceremonies so that I can be back in time for the Anime Hunters panel. I am not at home so I don't have any pictures...I can say for sure that I will be wearing my black straight jacket. I'll get you some more info as soon as I can. We will probably meet in the lobby area of the convention center & then walk to the bus together, unless someone that wants to go already knows where to go & just wants to meet there. I will need to check the bus schedule for the #5 also...I will look into that tonight.

For pre-reg day I'll be Mort Rainey from Secret Window, and the rest of the con I'll be Sweeney Todd. My other two friends are going as Edward Scissorhands and the Mad Hatter. We're gonna be mauled.. >>
