Well this year was an amazing blast, and I've already started planning for next year. XD I ended up having a concierge level room at the Mariott and enjoyed it quite well, but it just wasn't big enough for 6 or 7 people. Haha... I intended for having only one room mate, but people I met at the con ended up crashing with me. :P

So anyway... next year I've made plans with two of my close friends who went this year to plan a gathering of our friends and have about 8-10 people come. We're planning on chipping in for a VIP room at the Mariott if possible (still need to look into those further) or whatever will easily accommodate us in luxury. We're thinking of having everyone chip in 200 or so dollars. So yes at this point these are my plans.

My plan: Being on staff again.

Reg staffing, rooming with my friends who are all staffers, going to the BWBall, cosplaying in my traditional dress that I'll get... eventually... and hanging around. Oh, and the traditional pulling an all nighter on the last night thing. (:

It's really quiet on that day. Everyone is burnt out from not sleeping at all for the other nights. (:<

Don't I know it, brotha!
I'm finally legal myself.

I don't know who I'll be bunking with, so I'm a little bleh about that.
Nobody seems to have their minds made.
I try and make plans about food (CANDY IS NOT FOOD), but I think all they hear is 'blah blah blah'.
My con plan is turning into poo.

Dude my con plans were so sketchy this year. >_< I'm not even joking. I had roommates one minute then none the next. My best friend ended up staying with me instead of with her roommates. It was random madness. I suggest bringing peanutbutter and jelly (and bread) oh and a box of cereal. It helps with some of the food expenses. ANd you can always make ramen in the coffee maker. I have proof of this.

Oh, yes! Of course.
But they have a tendency to... not really share the refrigerator.
That's why I'm hoping to have enough money to get my own room.
Or bunk with people nice enough to, uh, share. :/

Since I was paying for the room, I was in charge of what went where. XD Oh and if you can afford to shell out some extra cash to get a concierge level room so you can get food at the concierge lounge.

1) Working Staff again. In fact I think I have more work this coming year than my previous years.
2) I am also going to be working that weekend for my Marketing Association helping out the graduation class of SJSU.
3) I plan to sleep more. 2 hours a night is not enough if I am to do the work of this coming year at con.

Kekeke, I'll be about 6 years overdue when Fanime 09 comes around.

Only one more year and you'll be able to join the rest of us in mocking horribly made hentai! HUZZAH!

This year, hopefully I'll get to meet a lot more people than I did last year.
Attend more panels.
Go to at least two gatherings.
Volunteer or perhaps join staff... Maybe at Maid Cafe.
Have a good time.
