7 days until the long drive to OhayoCon....

Gonna be kinda busy at the con but if anyone wants to get together and mebbe grab something to eat one of the nights, that might be cool.

I'd be up for meeting for a beer or something. I'm pretty sure I am working in the dealer's room this year for a vendor, so anytime before or afterwards is cool with me.

I might be in just for the day Saturday; if so I'd be up for grabbing some dinner. I'll know for sure later in the week.

I'd love to spend more time at Ohayocon, but they need to stop scheduling it during the NFL playoffs. /images/graemlins/depresse.gif /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

Better yet, they should move Ohayocon back to Cleveland where it belongs. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

^Amen to that. /images/graemlins/happy.gif

I pre-registered, but it doesn't look like I'm actually going to make it down to Columbus next weekend after all. /images/graemlins/sad.gif

Boo! If you can make it down here on Saturday night, mebbe I can wrangle everyone together for some dinner! (all the panels I need to attend end by 3...)

Oh yeah - everyone attend my panel =) (Anime Club Creation I believe is what they listed it as) Its Saturday night and I'll have some prizes to give out too!

I wanna go to Ohayocon... /images/graemlins/cry00000.gif But when you can't drive, the distance between Cincinnati and Columbus might as well be a thousand miles! /images/graemlins/depresse.gif

I'm wanted to go this year, but due to lack of funds and working all weekend I can't make it. /images/graemlins/cry00000.gif The worst part is it's taking place only an hour away.... /images/graemlins/depresse.gif Oh to have had Laura Bailey sign my Fruits Basket box...

This is my first OhayoCon and I like it. This convention has been going really well. My girlfriend won Best in Show Craftsmanship in the costume contest a few hours ago. I heard that the person who runs A Fan's View, afansview.com, had a heart attack earlier today. I've seen the guy at almost every Anime convention I have gone to. He takes a ton of pictures of the cosplayers. He is doing well though still in critical condition.

Update on Kevin:

The most recent report from a guest at the con says that he is in good condition but not allowed to have visitors or calls.

That's good to hear. Keep us posted when ya can.

Just got home from Ohayocon...I just wanted to say I had a blast! Now to catch up on sleep and head to work tomorrow.

Had I known beforehand, I would of offered a ride (provided that you wouldn't mind going up Thursday and coming back late Sunday). I think you only live about 10 minutes from me.
