Hey...So...Comic con, eh?

arithena

Who is going? Who has a room? Who needs a room? Who wants to touch whippy, cause he'll totally be there this year? Who wants to know what my secret project is this year? Who thinks I am totally awesome? Who even knows who the fuck I am?

Wren

will there be furries?

arithena

More likely than not.

Penguin Incarnate

Of course.

Wren

count me out.

I'll wait for the next renfair

GABBO GABBO GABBO

I'm probably just going for a day/the weekend.

Sheri

ARI

What is the secret project? :O

arithena

Whippy, myself and a friend of mine are all road tripping. This means if locals want to buy stuff they cant fly home with, we can take it for you.

Garlic Bread

I am going

I need to buy my plane tickets

I'll screw that up somehow

TheBlackWind

Ari! how's it been?

I am trying to get down there with PH this year, but everyone keeps bailing on us. Makes booking rooms stupidly expensive, But we'll see what we can work out. I really want to go.

arithena

Its called the secret project for a reason! If I was going to tell people, I would have called it TOTALLY NOT SECRET PROJECT, GUYS!

Sars_Boy

I am going, and I will hopefully have a hotel room.

arithena

Hooray!

Also, I should probably go to bed seeing as I need to wake up by 7am tomorrow morning. I doubt I'll sleep though. I have been getting to bed at about 2-3am for the last 3 nights, waking up around 12-1pm, and it has been pretty warm today so I have just been laying around doing nothing. I am just glad I have coffee and energy drinks stocked up. I will be bouncing off the walls tomorrow.

Bendery It Like Beckham

i'll probably be there.

arithena

Hooray!

Favlaud

I will be there, and rooming at Jordyn's hotel and a few other places here and there

Kovak

the only thing i know about arithena is she is the first forumer whose boobs i saw

arithena

ah, the good old days.

also, HELLO FAVLAUD THANK YOU FOR POSTING IN MY THREAD.

arithena

our hotel is way far enough away that we will have to drive in each day. parking will fucking BLOW.

Bendery It Like Beckham

I'll probably just take the trolley.

Ranx

eh?
you some kind of canadian?

Dely Apple

Will there be anything new from last year? Shit was like the Internet in person. And it was horrifying.

Without Janson I do not see a reason to go.

Sliver

I'm gonna try to go. I missed last year and haven't forgiven myself for it.

arithena

I was thinking of looking into shuttles and such. How much does public transit usually run down there?

Stormin Joe

I loved hanging with you last year Ari, but i can't go this year

I will be in Charleston

I used the trolly system last year a bit. It runs often, and gets off at the center
Oh, and it runs for free in like 3 miles of downtown

arithena

Thanks. It was nice seeing you guys...when I had time. I was stretched so thin last year because I wanted to see so many people. I don't really feel like I got to really spend any quality time with anyone, and I missed out on pretty much all the parties.

How much does the trolly cost?

I don't remember, but it was like a $1.25 from our hotel to the center, and we were several blocks away.
Not much. And like I said, they ran like every 5 minutes during comiccon

arithena

We may have to utilize this option.

Are you bringing your kitten to comic con?

Jordyn

There's certainly enough room on him for everyone to sign him!

depends on how much you're using really.

for me, I walk to the trolley and just take it all the way down to the convention center, for a two-way trip it would be about 7 dollars. but I'm 9 or so stops away from the convention center
