Welp. Looks like wc's renting a bus. LOL.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

yeah I wasn't totally sure if you lived in sac or la lol
we might need two cars for dis roadtrip lmao

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

Rent a van or something. Though that might end up being more expensive.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

yeah I was thinking about that but that'd be expensive as ****.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

I wouldn't be able to take the van over the border if I did rent it. I would need written permission from the renting place in order to take it over.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

that's gay ):

well, if I have a car by then, we could just use two cars

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

Depending on my financial situation I would REALLY like to go. If things worked out, I'd be making the trip in one day (or leaving late one day to stop at Ian's (I Like It) house for the night since he's about 4 hours into the trip. Trip route if Ian is coming with me:



I'd possibly be willing to pick someone up, but it would have to be close enough to that route that we weren't adding too much extra time since (like I said) we'd be trying to make the whole trip in one day.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

Dammit, I hate not living near ANYONE. xD

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

I'm trying to work this out so I can go. >_>; Flights up there are expensive for me though, plus hotels/spending money/etc. But maybe.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

If you're attending the whole weekend, I'd say bring at least $200-300 to cover food expenses and any purchases (not including fees for hotel or transportation). Otherwise if you're only going for a day, I think you can manage with $100, maybe even less. If you don't feel safe carrying all that money around, just bring your debit/credit card since there are ATMs around con and a lot of vendors accept them. I'd avoid the ATM deal though because you're guaranteed to be stuck in a really long lineup, lol.

If you aren't planning on spending at all, $100 could last you the whole weekend, rofl.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

What's the best place to stay at, in regards to distance from the event and hotel costs? I hope I don't need to break an arm and leg for staying XXX nights.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

I have a feeling that if I go, I'll be spending relatively little on anything other than food or gas for the trip.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

Doubletree Hotel is right across from the TCC but is also the most expensive as you'd imagine.

Radisson is behind the TCC and is actually pretty well priced. I've stayed here for AN 2008 and AN 2011.

There are two Holiday Inns in the area: one that's a 5 minute walk from the TCC and the other one all the way down the road which is a 20-30 minute walk. The pricing is nice but if you want the cheapest hotel you can find in the area, the Holiday Inn that's all the way down the road is your best bet. Kommi, WTFBrandon, and I stayed here during AN 2010 due to a booking mixup. Literally, we only walked back to the hotel to drop stuff off or sleep because of the time spent walking, lmao. The other Holiday Inn close to the con I stayed at during AN 2009. Pricing is decent and location is convenient.

There's the Sheraton hotel which has all the gaming events AN has scheduled. Basically, if you're going to be spending most of your time in the DDR room or playing games, stay here lol. It's about a 10 minute walk from the Doubletree and TCC.

There are other hotels in the area but I don't really know much about them let alone the pricings. You can check the Hotel section on the AN website for this info I suppose.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

hmm i have a tough decision to make. go to AN or go to EDC...

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

OSHI things just got real for Carlos.

Not to mention weren't you like, 3-8 peoples' ride?

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

with Razor and Choofers/Torrent iirc?

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

The radisson if you can get in is probably the best spot. It's literally across the parking lot from the convention and is a decent place to stay.


Walking 30 minutes to get to the con wasn't cool so don't mix up the hotels for holiday inn like i did ever please.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

nah just two vvv

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

Wait I never said I would be attending AN
I never know whether my schedule will allow me

Looks like this is why I got added to the list but this isn't me

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

though

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

I'm looking for people to share a room for the Friday and Saturday nights.

Also, where is everyone staying? It could be nice to coordinate our hotels in order to hang out together.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

May have considered going if it weren't in Canada -____-

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

So what if it's in Canada?

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

Well effing poop. My trip buddy is no longer my trip buddy. Cost of me driving just doubled. ;_;

Likelihood of me going halved. Inverse relationship yo D:

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

Savin' money, hopefully can go.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

I don't know for sure which hotel our group (kommi, xiao, brandon, and I) will be staying at yet but I'm gonna guess we'll either be at the Radisson or Holiday Inn again. Sheraton is booked pretty fast because of all the gamers, lol.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

I'm one of them :3

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

If wc has room for me after everything is all said and done, I'm going to go, and am offering to supply the bud for my end of the trip and will ensure a 24/7 high for everyone tagging along if they so desire since it already looks like you'll be heading through Dallas. A really good friend of mine lives in waterloo which is fairly close to where we're trying to get and it'd be pretty cool to see him as well as some of the ffr peeps.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

we sharin a room?
awww sheeeet
better pack some butt plugs!
or you're all finiiiiiiiiiiished ; )

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

For sure bro just need yo see where I stand

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

Hazelle, if you got to my house I'd be totally up for it :] lol
Can't help you on the overnight accommodations once we're there though!

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

Carlos, do you have room for more people or no? I'm thinking about driving down to Memphis, and Jesse sent a link of your route and iirc you'd be hittin' there.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

You could always go with me :3 only problem is I can't let you smoke in the car since it's not mine. :X

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

sas;kdjlksdjlshdfgkhfsdkdfghkbsadew08rhwerf

make it happen

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

There's limited tickets this year, so you have to pre-register.
http://www.animenorth.com/main/
EVERYONE GOGOGO

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

You can put small chance for me too haha.

I really doubt I could go this year.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

I might come if I can sort some stuff out and see if the time is okay for leave. I will try my best though.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

Early Bird discount! HORY SHITU

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

Seeing how I wouldn't know my situation till like a month and a half before the event occurs, this reduces my chances of going even more.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

Same as bmah. Not enough funds right now. Will I have them come March-May? Possibly. But possibly isn't enough.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

I got the funds, and I will definitely be there. >:3

See you all at AN. ^^

EDIT: Even before I saw this thread, I planned on going. Already booked off time from work for that weekend and everything!

EDIT2: BMAH! You better be there... hehe.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

I'll be there.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

lets do this mang

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

buying tickets this week

saving up money for plane tickets, if WC going to EDC

starting passport paperwork this month




I GIVES A ****, I'M GETTING TO CANADA SOMEHOW

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

wait are you serious

holy shit

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

uhhh I might be going I guess maybe somehow perhaps.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

you should \o/

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

buy me mine too please :3

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

Actually, I dunno that if I'm a panelist I get an automatic pass to AN (still have to pay lol), dunno though, never had this issue before.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

I'll do my pre-reg sometime this week. Discount \o/

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

freakin' sweeeeet, I'll order the event and plane tickets soon

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

ok, so I'm looking at hotels and keywii recommended crowne plaza

anyone want to split a triple/quad with me lmfao

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

I wish, It's a little far for me though.
I'll probably stick closer to home like Naka-Kon in Kansas or AF Wichita.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

hmm don't watch anime but might try and come just for the meetup

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

oh my gawsh i get to meet torrent.
swag

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

Ok if there are that many people going to this, there'd better be a little place for us to tap our keyboards for realz~

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

bought mine earlier today

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

Looks like I still have to pre-reg :V

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

just saying if you looking into hotels you'd probably want to ask -me- about this, let alone anything related to AN.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

I want to go so badly omfg if i can afford the plane tickets across the atlantic ocean >_>



Edit: put me up as (very small chance), i'm gonna see if i can save up enough in time

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

I have a passport, and I may be able to save up for this.

Put me down as 'maybe' since I have no idea what to do about hotels yet.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

hmmm

Well, on one hand, this is only like a 2-3 hour drive from Rochester, but on the other hand I think this might be the weekend before finals, which would make this a terrible idea.

Put me down for 'Maybe'

edit: yessss, weekend AFTER finals. Hot damn. Highly probable I'll go.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

yo, just room with me

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

you don't really want this mang just sayin

I still can't sit straight after the dunellen meetup, and I only managed to track down one of my kidneys.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

SO jealous.

Basically it will come down to whether or not I'll be able to afford the flight (or drive, depending) and still have money to eat while I'm there...I'm hoping I will, but time is starting to slip away and I'm about to start another semester of classes, so we'll see how the money goes.. School schedule and work schedule will also factor in, but as far as my priorities go, I'll be finding a way to work that out. I'll take finals early if I have to.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

i might go, hoping this chance to get away for that weekend

very small chance though, flight tickets $570 - $800 or just take the 13 hour drive lmao

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

At $570 you can probably make the 13 hr drive for less.. :]

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

Bought the ticket for the weekend, now to save up for the plane/hotel, this is gonna be a challenge in itself D:


I bet I'm the only one from europe attending on ffr

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

The fact your coming from Europe actually inspires me a lil

edit: 1,018 dollars in spending cash this is the most i have had in a while lolololo.

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

im looking at 1200 for a round trip plane ticket

cheaper to drive :roll:

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

Holy crap I can do this if I share a room and get a passport (and save up the money also).

yesyesyes

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

welp, looking at greyhound tickets

it'd be a lot cheaper holy shit, $234 to get to toronto for advanced purchase
so yeah, now I gotta budget and find out how much it is all together for hotel

I'm gonna be getting a room at the Crowne Plaza, so if anyone is interested in rooming (triple is $149 a night (about $50 a person) quad is $159 (about $40 a person)), send me a PM

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

man greyhound is cheap as ****

will definitely look into that. i'll let you know if ii'll be makin it choof

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

is this like a giant event for wasting lots of hard earned money in the presence of other individuals also interested in wasting lots of hard earned money

i might go if i dont get another work contract/extension

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

it's a giant event when you waste money on good food and bad cosplayers

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
 

I go there for the hoes, touhou, meet ups, doujin, and shamelessly advertising my touhou pad packs DDR

Re: Anime North 2012 Attendance List
