Okay...so...I will be coming out early Friday and doing the whole "kid in a candy store" thing. I'll DEFINITELY be around Mr. Sakai's booth, the Dark Horse booth, and Ed Brubaker's booth.

I'll be picking up a couple of friends who live in the area that afternoon and then attending the CAM thingey.

I won't be there Sat. but I will be out early Sunday with my little-uns.

Being such a newbie I'm really hesitant to try and organize plans but if anyone wnats to get together for food and drinks Friday night or brunch-n-lunch on Sunday, PM me and I'll give ya my number for hook ups.

Sorry to bring this up again, but I'd like to know.
For Saturday or Sunday, which day will have the most Usagi dojo members there and are we going to try to get together for a group picture? Say hello to each other?
Or...it doesn't matter and I can just pick whichever day I want? (Because Stan is there for all of it and has panels on both days. ;) )

Thank you!

On the c.com forums, it's been commented that tickets might sell out ahead of time for Saturday in particular.
So if we think Sunday is best, then I'll plan for Sunday.
:D

UPDATE: I got my ticket for Sunday obtained.
All set.
Looking forward to anyone I get to see there!

I have developed a flu bug. I don't think I'll be able to make it this time. I am so upset I could just cry, but I don't want to infect a bunch of folks.
WARNING, my FurAffinity site WILL have naughty Adult stuff on it.

If it's a 24-hour kind of flu, and if you are feeling better by Sunday....
Maybe you could still make it!
We'll hope.

See everyone on Sunday! Hope those that are already there are enjoying everything.

I don't think I'm coming to the con with any of my cosplays, and I don't have one for Usagi anyway. So I'll be there in normal attire, which will be one of the UY t-shirts.
:D
