CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

I think I might be able to go to the Maryland convention this year...IF people from around here are going. When is it? Or, when are they, if there are a few? And who's going to them? XD

You mean Otakon?

Jah I think that's it...is that the one that the CAAers met at?

Yes it is. Kae, MSP, Spiritworlf, SpoonyBard and I met there last year. I don't know about the others, but MSP and I at least are going again. You should definitely come!

I'm going! So is faithfighter and HolySoldier5000 hopefully. It would be cool to meet you, Heart of Sword.

XDD this is gonna be my third year! So far Meboeck, Kae, ashfire, Faithfighter, Holysoldier, Spoonybard, spiritwolf, and possibly evilspork will all be going. Linksquest and Peanut MAY be going. (Of course don't forget me ~_^)

Lets see
Baltimore, Maryland
Otakon at Baltimore Convention Center
Price for prereg right now is 50 dollars
August 4-6!

Biggest thing is getting a hotel room near the convention center.
At last years show when they announced the dates for this year at closing ceremony the hotels were getting reservations. The Days Inn and The Holiday Inn were the first to go and the Marriot is a little high but I got a room there after I heard the rooms were filling fast.
I hope anyone else that is coming gets a room and prereged before everything is filled.

Yay!!! XD I really hope I can go! Last time...curses! I was IN the stinking Marriot...the weekend of the convention...because my family was driving to Georgia... I saw cosplayers in the lobby and asked what they were doing and they said they were going to a convention, then I later found out that there were CAA people there...>___< AGH!!! Some of my favorite people too!

That's right! I've been meaning to get preregistered for forever now. *runs off to register*

I went for the first time last year (If you don't count the four odd hours in '01), it was great fun. You should definitely attend if you get the chance. Especially if people you know are going.

If the girls who are going could get a hotel room together, and we all stayed in the same room and pitched in, it would be easier...but I think it's mostly guys going...

EDIT: I think Soulfest is happening at the same time...*hisses* It better not be...

I'm positive spiritwolf and evilsporkofdoom both are not going to be getting hotels, as they live in MD. As well as meboeck, me, linksquest and peanut. As far as I know only kae and spoonybard got a hotel room. So did like one or two others but I don't remember their names

I'm not sharing a room with guys! Hahaha! O__o XD

About Soulfest...I don't think I'm going to that. I don't know. I'll have to find out. XD

You are definitely going, MSP?

MSP and I are definitely going. And we are doing our best to get LinksQuest and Peanut to go with us. But you had better watch out because we are like... the four stooges or something. XD

By the way, THIS IS MY 1,000th POST. YAY!

Oh gosh...I'm a stooge too, don't worry. XD

If you're definitely going (unless you like die or something), I'll do my best to get there. If you're not sure, then I won't try as hard. (That was officially morbid!)

If I go, I'm going as myself, but anime style. XD

I hope to cosplay, but only if I can do it real cheap. MSP is planning to cosplay too, but I don't think he's decided on a character yet either. And I know MSP is going because he already preregistered. I was having money issues for a little while so I haven't prereged yet. But I am most definitely going.

Okay! Then I'm giving it my all! XD

I'll probably be a half-wolf version of myself. I was considering being a full-wolf (with a mask) but I don't think I will. It might hinder my ability to have fun meeting everyone. XD

The thing is, I have to pay for my mother and me to drive 8 hours to Maryland, and get a hotel. X__x Good thing I have savings. XD (That's why I was wondering if it's possible to share a room with another girl, and splitting the cost.) Are there parent passes at Otakon, so that the parent can go for a cheaper price?

By the way, which day should I go if I can't get to all three? I hope I can go for the whole weekend but I'm not sure...




.

I've been thinking about going, since I live so close, but I'm still not sure. It *would* be my first con. *ponders this*

Chances are I won't be going, but maybe someone will convince me otherwise.

I plan on maybe going.
If you have to have all this stuff for it payed for and hotels planned beforehand, then count me out.

What do you gain from going to cons?
What do you do there?

I don`t want to look like a complete anime nerd for nothing.

If you can't go the whole weekend, I'm thinking that Saturday is PROBABLY the best day to come, then. I don't know, I'll ask around to the other people who are going. I know I'll be there the whole weekend.

In general, Saturday is always the best day of a con. Friday is fun because things are still gathering steam, Sunday is sort of the "throwaway" day.

I always liked fridays and saturdays. Fridays being the best as you know the next day will be as good. Sundays are pretty much "throwaway" days like what RedMage said

Ah, okay, thanks!

I really hope I can make it. I'm not *definitely* going, but I hope to.

The one thing about Otakon is that when you pay to get in you pay for three days. They stopped the one day passes because they can only handle so many attendees.

I don't get it... You pay $50 for three days?
