SO guess what? I completely spaced that my friend, Andy, lives out in Minnesota! Now I have at least two reasons to go! Hopefully, he'll be able to come with me when I head out there for this. Going solo is fine, but going with a con-buddy is always good too! WOOHOO!

Pfah. Just practice and find a good pattern to work from. :3 I'm sure you'll do just fine if you give yourself enough time to work on it.

In other news: I need a well-paying job so I can go out to these far-off cons. Rah.

Who ever goes, take videos. i love watching cons that i never go to and get left out of the fun that happens cause i have no money/no idea who to cosplay/etc (on DS-I so not typing much)
i really need to find one of this state's non-existant cons :'(

Just bought the plane ticket last night. I'm coming in the night of April 22nd. YOU BETTER BE READY, MINNESOTA!

Edit: Also trying to possibly have an OverClocked ReMix panel at the con, I subbed the form and will be trying to coordinate with the higher-ups about how it would go down. If it happens, we'd be playing some music, talking about upcoming projects *COUGH*NiGHTS*COUGH*, and answering questions about OCR and ReMixing in-general. So...we'll see. Hopefully gonna have some merch there too, if we can manage it!

lol @ andersam.


I'm going to purchase my plane tickets by the end of the month... thrilling and exciting. I haven't flown in forever-ever, and I am totally looking forward to it. There's a certain giddiness about airports I get. Now, can only hope when I go to buy the tix the date and time I was planning on is still available like it was a few days ago.

@ andersam: Hey, that's my idea! >:{ :P

@ infractus: check those tickets DAILY. You'd be surprised a how fast availability (and prices) change. @_@ Also, if you get lost in the airport, call me. :) I know that place WAY too well. XD Course, the directions you'd get would be "Okay you're in G terminal? which gate? Okay yeah, see the vending machine? No, the other one? Go left of that till you see a burger king, and then turn right at the shoe shiner..."

Sorry, Called it! XD

To me, It's hard to desingush the difference between the Humphrey and Lindburgh Terminals XD
one time we went to Lindburgh and had to drive all the way to Humprey, not fun. Humprey dosen't have that many stores XD

Funny story. Sierra may remember this. Last Detour was held I believe mid April. On Saturday night it snowed...a lot. It stayed pretty much until the sun came up the next morning. Over night it was a veritable winter wonderland. Sunday afternoon all the snow had melted. If I took a pictures of the morning and afternoon, you wouldn't believe they were taken within hours of each other. That the upper mid-west for ya.

Do I ever. I do because I was out on the streets when it started with some friends, and were stuck on the streets till like 3 am. (Our ride never showed, then we tried to find bus which failed, and THEN we had to flag a taxi...) Wandering around the streets of St Paul at the wee hours of the morning in cosplay/convention clothes, trudging through snow..... Good times. *cough*

At least this year is in Minneapolis... and closer to the MOA.

Bipolar Minnesota weather for the win!

Ah good ol' Minnesota.
It's either snowing heavily, artic freezing, or hordes of mosquitos.
Either way, You'll want to leave ASAP XD

At least we have a good Hockey team and an IKEA.
LOL WE SHOULD TOTALLY GO COSPLAY IN IKEA. DO EET!!

Ya know, I really hope some vendor there is gonna have a copy of the super mario galaxy soundtrack. I love that music way too much.

Look for a place called Tomodachi. They sell CDs by the truckload.

Yeah, this new location is much better than last year's. Don't get me wrong, I had a good time and the Crown Plaza was a good hotel. But the fact is St. Paul isn't a city where people live or shop. It's a city where people work and there is almost nothing close to kill time with as a result.

JUST HAD ANOTHER IDEA. If someone brings a video camera we should record us NiGHTS fans "infiltrating" the con. Dark sunglasses an' all XD

Oh yeah! They actually have a store in rosedale center. I went there last weekend XD

Another thing, I finally got around to checking out the hotel. that pool looks so serene in the pictures....but I suppose it won't be like that when WE get there..

I have yet to hear anything about an OCR panel, but rest assured that I'm gonna bust my ass for it. MAG got me in the con spirit like crazy. I....really can't wait for this now. Like, really.

@ andersam/zero: Don't forget the roadwork! On a forum many years past, me and another Minnesotan agreed: Minnesota has two seasons: Winter, and Roadwork.

@99: The con bug has claimed another victim. XD

The video cams/ cameras are a MUST, for the sake of the website and the enjoyment of fellow NiGHTSfans. Not to mention the awesome stuff that tends to happen there without NiGHTS. Last year I got a pic of a guy cosplaying as Dante from DMC stuck to a giant inflatable Katamari ball, not to mention some GREAT cosplays. And then my camera 'vanished'. *sadface* Moral of the story: Bring MANY cameras, and recorders too, if possible.

I've decided I won't cosplay, but I WILL make NiGHTS' hat and wear it, along with that bunny ear hat that DiGi wants. Zero would know em, they were selling them last year. Anyway, anyone want to join in/ give me tips? Cuz I have no sewing skillz. XD

Assorted Thoughts

You mean Pawstar right?

Yeah, some of the cosplay there was really awesome...In America!

Pity you're not cosplaying. Have you never done it before?

I still have my neko ears from last year. :3

Still planning on doing Dio this year. Getting my measurements and a price estimate next Friday. Still a bit bummed I couldn't convince a friend to do Jotaro.

Con is three months away (roughly) and my costume is well under way to being made. Yay! This is going to be so badass. By the way, all of us forum goers should absolutely raid the Mall of America. You know that weird carousel thing from the NiGHTS Into Uhhhh... page? There is one of those near the arcade. Also, log flume and roller coasters.

Well, I have some news, folks...

It looks like I will not be coming alone on my flight from Baltimore (probably). While his flight may be different, my friend David (Brushfire) is coming with me. So it's gonna be myself, OA, and Brushfire at the very least representing the OCReMix community. Brushfire is not only an anime-snob, he is one of the other co-hosts on the podcast I do (OverClocked After Dark). Having him around means that we might actually do something small from the convention, though it depends on where our recording setup resides at the time. It also means even more antics will happen when we are there.

We're getting stoked.

That reminds me, someone in our hotel room party/sharing had to duck out, so now we have an open space! Anyone who wants to party with me and other strangers AT the hotel the con is in, would have to contact me, so I can contact our room manager person. XD it would be 35.99 for your share of the room, with possible floor sleeping and packing very light. also, GIRLS ONLY. :P

Inorite? I'm soooo excited. And worried. Nabeshin is that kinda guy.

We're still looking for people to fill our room space if any one here still cares. We're too lazy to track down everyone and work out how to pay the difference if we can't find anyone. We probably will anyway. >_>

If anyone NEW is reading this, you may be outta luck, as pre-reg has CLOSED. And it's near impossible to get in at the door.
