I'm pretty sure this will be the last update for Otakon.
So listen up!
I'm gonna go over everything for those of you who might not have been keeping up.
Okie dokie?
Hopefully it'll seem more organized then my usual information rants.
First lets get down to the money situation.

MONEY
Gwyn - I still owe 20 lol
J - He needs 160, but its his card so it would be dumb for him to give me money for me to give it back
Holly - Her mom is giving me 100, 50 for her ticket and 50 to spend
Demisa - My little sunshine needs 70 bucks
Crissy - lol still owes the full 211
Luckie - She only owes her 156, I'll have to try and find a way to get that

DATES AND TIMES
Otakon doesn't actually start till the 17th of July. That's a Friday.
But we'll be leaving the day before, Thursday the 16th.
Now Crissy has work that day, so he doesn't have to use ALL of his vacation time.
So he'll be getting out probably like 1pm.
So I wanna try and leave by 2pm. Fair enough?
Thursday is Pre-Reg pick up day and we can get our tickets between 5pm and 11pm.
So we'll be in a good time frame to do that.
I'm not entirely sure how long it took us to get there last time, but we're fine.
No worries.
LOCATIONS
Otakon is held at the Baltimore Convention Center in... Baltimore Maryland. Lolz
For those of you who haven't had the chance to go yet, check out some pictures!

This is where all the fun happens.
Our hotel we are staying in is the Hilton.
Which is connected to the convention center via sky walk.
SO WE HAVE ACCESS!!!
Heres some pictures.
Our room is a standard room with 2 double beds.
So you get to see just how much room we have to work with here.
OH! And one more thing!
WE GOT A POOL!
Granted, I doubt we'll have much time to use it but bring a bathing suit.
Cause after we get our Pre-Reg tickets, we'll have nothing but time to kill.
So we can swim <3
MANNERS
I know I really shouldn't have to say this...
Since we're all friends, and frankly I wouldn't be inviting you along if you were an asshole.
But for sake of argument... don't argue?
I will not have any sort of drama going on in the room.
Srsly.
PERSONAL SPACE
We are all sharing a SINGLE room.
Between 6 people!
So it'll get a little cramped.
Make sure you keep your stuff together
It'll help when you're trying to get dressed and ready the next day.
And you won't lose anything. Which is also good.
Also, be mindful of Con Funk.
This is a very real thing.
Walking around in July heat ALL DAY in con gear...
Not a good smell.
So showers are a must.
Either in the morning or at night.
I really don't care.
And we'll only have one bathroom...
So don't FREAK out if someone comes walking in to do make up or put on a wig or something.
DRIVERS
We have 6 people and 2 cars.
Sounds good right?
NO!
We'll need to manage to get 3 people into each car.
Joe - Holly - Crissy
Luckie - Gwyn - Demisa
Something like that.
We'll have to sort it out later once we see how much crap everyone is bringing.
WHAT TO BRING
Packing is gonna be an issue.
Since we only have 2 cars and 6 people to transport.
Each person will have 2 separate things of luggage... I'm guessing.
Hopefully no more then that.
This is what you should have when you pack:
- Cosplay and Accessories [that means your outfit, wigs, shoes, make up, all that shit]Granted, I doubt we'll have much time to use it but bring a bathing suit.
Cause after we get our Pre-Reg tickets, we'll have nothing but time to kill.
So we can swim <3

This is what you should have when you pack:
- Bathing suit [WE GOT A DAMN POOL I WANNA USE IT!]
- Personal hygiene stuffs [the usual shampoo/conditioner, soap, toothbrush/paste... female things]
- Sleep clothes [this should be the ONLY normal thing you bring, trust me you don't need normal clothes]
- Food [preferably nothing that needs to be cooked since we lack a microwave. drinks are nice too...]
*regarding the food issue, people should let me know just what they are gonna bring so we don't have like 2 of anything.
I'm pretty sure we're bringing some ramen soups, since you only need hot water for that.
Any sort of snack would be awesome.
COSPLAY SCHEDULE
Alright so I got a schedule.
It's mostly for me and whoever else has planned cosplays with mine.
But here it is!
Thursday - Me and J are driving down in Black Lagoon gear for Pre-Reg
Friday - Me, J, and Holly have FLCL going on then later Me and J are doing Samurai Champloo
Saturday - Me and Demisa have a Sailor Moon shoot at 2pm then Me, J, Holly, Demisa, and Crissy have a FMA shoot at 3pm.
Sunday - Pretty much do whatever you want day. I'm doing Nyuu cause it's easy
But you guys can wear whatever ya want, just certain days are certain things and blah blah blah
I'm pretty sure that's about everything.
I'll be sending this link to all it pertains so via MySpace.
You can reply to me here on LJ, on MySpace, or FaceBook.
I'm pretty much open.
BYEEE~!

Alright lady for once I am not lieing I GOTS YOUR MONEY!!! Also I got like 4 cup of soups but I don’t really have much money for other ppls. I’m also bringing tea packets for hot tea. <3 those I can share with everyone
I’m so happy we have a damn pool I CAN FINALLY FUCKIN SWIM!!!!!!!!! I’m so excited.
Also I call late night showers since I take forever even when I try to be super fast. I don’t think this will be a super big deal though because I’m pretty sure I’ll be staying up the latest.
Oh and since I work at a food store if you guys want anything but wont have a chance to get it just let me know and I can pick it up just if it’s like over 10 bucks I need the money back for it.
Okies I guess thats it.I don’t go to work till 3 tomorrow if you wanna stop by and pick up the check. I’m scared to death I’ll forget/ lose the money lol
Also should I bother getting like snacky stuff?
Hot tea is awesome, I'd love to share tea with you.
And snacks are great. Bring whatever you want.
The more the better actually.
I think what we're doing is getting a few of those cup soups. Some water bottles. And maybe a few other things like chips. LoL The dollar store here sells food apparently so I might go check em out.
More or less official list of food and shareable items I’m bringing to con… lol (I was just goina email this to you but I thought it might help to put it here so everyone knows what is already bought.)
- face wipe thingies
- shampoo + conditioner
- cup of noodle (8)
- hot tea + foam cups for them
- silver wear
- those lil cracker sandwiches
- lolly pop + other lil candy shit lol
- crystal light packets to flavor water bottles
- 2 things of Capri sun (the boxes I mean)
- a bag of lil bags of chips lol.
I’m pretty sure thats it. Just thought I’d make it know so everyone doesn’t bring the same shit to share. Also I wanted to remind you I need at least one of your wigs. I think I can use misa for winry (or however her name is spell lol) but I need a pink wig for chibi. I think you said you has 2? That or if you only have one we could do the outfits on 2 different days.
I am kinda sure that’s it. Lol I may add more later.
But yea I do have wigs for you to use.
lol My Sailor V/Chii wig is long enough for Winry.
Also i got a second pink wig that doesn't actually go to anything, and its long so we can put it in ponytails.
You can has that one cause I never use it.
