Yeah, I need help with cons...

StephanieNicole's picture
StephanieNicole - Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 00:24

So, Me and Denise recentaly got intrested in cons, right?(btw, should I have put "Denise and I", I dont get that stuff). I googled cons in Texas and I found Oni-Con and Anime Matsuri. I missed Oni-Com, but I really want to go to Anime Matsuri, and the website said its going on March 21-23 so, I could probably convince my Mum and Daddy to let me go all three days as a birthday present. My birthday's on the 22. :P So, what I'm asking is if anyone can help me with the registation and the hotel and explain it to me, because its really confusing to me. Also, I would like to know if anyone knows of anymore conventions in Texas, or in driving distance of Spring or Houston.
Oh, I'm Cosplaying as Misa from Death Note, if anyone has some suggestions for that :)

It's "Denise and I." Here's

Joamette Gil; Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 02:27

It's "Denise and I." Here's how you can tell: take the other person out of the sentence to see if it still makes sense.

"Me and Denise got interested..."

"Me ___ ______ got interested..."

Me got interested? I don't think so. ;)

You can also use that to check sentences like this: "Daniel gave presents to Jessica and I." That's actually wrong; when you take out "Jessica," you're left with:

"Daniel gave presents to I."

Which makes no sense. It would be "Daniel gave presents to Jessica and me." And that's how you check! ^_^

But *ahem* yes, Anime Matsuri. There should be sections on registration and accomodations on the con's site. If they facilitate online registration, then you'll probably need your parents to get on there with their credit cards (or to help you fill out the mail-in forms if they don't have credit cards).

I'm trying to check out the site myself right now, but it's taking an awfully long time to load on my computer.

You Rock!

StephanieNicole; Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 04:16

Thanks for clearing that up. It makes sense now!
But, if my parents pay for that online, does it pay for the hotel too, or do i get that seperatley?
By the way, I've never been to a con, so i may ask very dumb questions :P

Your parents would have to

Joamette Gil; Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 05:53

Your parents would have to make the hotel reservations separately. As far as most cons are concerned, where you stay that weekend is your business, not theirs. Luckily, hotels hosting events such as cons usually give a discounted rate to guests who reserve rooms specifically because of that event. Getting the discount should be as simple as your parents saying, "May I get a discount as a convention attendant?" when they're making the arrangements.

And no problem, Steph. The only stupid questions are the ones left unasked. ;)

lol

Joamette Gil; Tuesday, December 11, 2007 - 02:23

Yes, I'm friends with Ash. :) One day Ash and I will go con hopping together with all the other MPs, eating pocky and battling dark-side Jedi using the force; and the world will tremble at the awesome might of our con-going friend... itude! :D

Hmm

xXRed13Xx; Tuesday, December 11, 2007 - 07:19

Con hopping sounds good... but I don't want to be a Jedi... X-Men for the win!!! Mutant powers own Jedi mind tricks. I'd like to see Obi Wan Kenobi Jedi mind trick Prof. X.

And I don't know what Pocky is :( but I want to try it now! Unless it's a type of marmite... or cheese... or marmite with cheese. Ewww :S

*gasp*

Joamette Gil; Tuesday, December 11, 2007 - 22:35

You poor soul. :O

Pocky is frosting on a stick (an edible one)! Just about the most popular Japanese/convention snack there is!

You've been deprived! *hugs*

Poor Ash. =( Perhaps you can

Joamette Gil; Friday, December 14, 2007 - 07:31

And what in God's name do you do for a living, son?

Right now

xXRed13Xx; Friday, December 14, 2007 - 19:33

Right at this very moment, I am doing night shifts at a record store. Although it messes up my body clock a bit it's cool because I am nocturnal by nature and plus I get £15 an hour as opposed to £7.50 from working during the day. (That is about $30 an hour just incase any of you didn't know the exchange rate.)

$30 an hour?! That's sweet,

Joamette Gil; Saturday, December 15, 2007 - 03:28

$30 an hour?! That's sweet, kid! You could buy serious pocky with that. xD

Once X-Mas

xXRed13Xx; Saturday, December 15, 2007 - 07:01

Once X-Mas is over I'll be back to £7.50 ($15) but I don't plan on sticking around much longer anyway. And I will definitely see about getting hold of some pocky :) Might be going travelling at some point soon , so will probably be stopping off in the US of A, I'll try find some pocky then :D

I have no idea yet

xXRed13Xx; Saturday, December 15, 2007 - 18:17

I have no idea yet :) I haven't really planned it out yet, I have just started saving for the trips. I reckon I will be going France, Spain, America, Japan and Australia. (Depending on costs.)
Any suggestions for America?

Me! Visit me! xD Seriously,

Joamette Gil; Saturday, December 15, 2007 - 21:46

Me! Visit me! xD

Seriously, though, you should check out New York. That's almost mandatory. I would also recommend Savannah, Georgia. It's somewhat rural, but the historic district is amazingly gorgeous.

Dude! Spring, Texas! We can

StephanieNicole; Thursday, December 27, 2007 - 07:14

Dude! Spring, Texas!
We can go shopping!!

Or, maybe not. You should all come to Anime Matsuri for my birthday. I need Anime and Manga loving buddies. I dont have that many and my parents dont like my obbsession. It would be fun to meet you all in a con!!!

But really, I've been hearing Anime Matsuri is a very bad con to go to, and I'm going to have my expectaions crashed and killed. But I have no expectations. "/
Anyway, There's a store near my house called the "Hong Kong Food Market" Good Fish, but they sell pockey.

I WANT!!
