:\ Sucks...Seriously, no other folks even THINKING to go?
If I could afford the drive/flight, hell yeah.
EDIT:
Oh shit.
I'll still be in Japan at that point anyways.

Actually never been to a con before. Maybe I'll go to this one, as I think it's somewhat close by. Maybe.
And it looks like their site was partially hacked... Look at the bottom footer...

I'm pretty certain that I'll be going, but not sure if I'm going for the whole weekend or not yet.

I can confirm that I am going and cosplaying as Hei from Darker Than Black. Also, anyone else doing Cosplay Chess? It's fun, but they oddly enough need more people...

Pretty much, each cosplayer represents a chess piece. When one piece would dominate the other, the battles are done sort of like Fire Emblem style with on person attacking the other and everyone clears the board. Really fun.

I went last year, also dressed as Hei. They had too many applicants for Cosplay Chess, so instead, I was doing tournaments in Sleeping Samurai, which is basically foam sword combat. I enjoy AnimeNEXT since it's pretty close to where I live.

Not sure if I can make it after all... my trip ends the same week as the con, but I'll be super jetlagged. ;-;
Also broke.

The dealer's room is pretty decent. Granted, it's not Otakon huge, but it's still got some amazing deals. I got an anime bag for 20 bucks, plus some random stuff, since that was their definition of a grab bag.
Honestly, their panels and whatnot are what really make it stand out compared to other conventions for me.

Huh, a grab bag, eh? Sounds neat. I'm looking for some stuff so hopefully I'll be able to find some deals. And is the Artist Alley pretty decently sized as well? And do you know when they typically put a schedule up?

I believe the schedule goes up a week in advance, but not sure. As for the Artist's Alley, it is quite small to be honest. However, I'm hoping Jacob will show up again. Hopefully...
