Greetings fellow dothackers!

d5t and I are both planning to attend the Chicago anime convention ACen next year. Panel submissions aren't being accepted yet, but if things work out we are planning to do one, either about .hack or about running a fansite. If things really work out, we may even be giving away some stuff! I'm interested in finding out how many users think they'd (be able to and want to) go.

EDIT: The panel will be from 2 to 3pm on Friday, May 8th in the Narita Room. See the news for full details!

Too far for me...=P If you go through with it though, take some pics!

Maybe I'll plan a road trip to Chicago. I'm only a few states away, really, and I've driven farther. I love any excuse to go on a road trip. Ain't doing no cosplay shiat, though. : D

Plus, d5t owes me a drink or something.

I might, depending on how much $$ I have. Nothing good ever happens in NJ anyways.

I would if I didn't have such major health issues preventing me from traveling. I'll try and see if I can get down there for my burfday or something.

And admit it, if I was there, most of you guys would cream yourselves at being able to touch me.

I live in Georgia. Too far. Although, I agree with milliennium_fox about sending pictures.

I hate you guys, srsly.
You should've had it on the West Coast... preferrably Sakura-Con. >>

But yes, if you do go through with that, pictures must be taken.

Since I live in St. Louis I could easily get there by bus. Just give me some dates.

woo! I live in chicago!

I live all the way in the land of moose and beavers so no.

Although I hope you go through with this so that life returns back to dothackers again.

Well, that's cool, that's like... six people...

All of which you put on that craaaazy money of yours. C'mon, it's only about eight hours to get to Chicago from the tip of Ontario. Seven if you travel at the speed of America.

You can chill at my apartment and play some rock band.

We should make a news post when the date gets closer - that'll bring attention to the masses.

You know, if by some unfathomable miracle I had some LARGE amount of money, I'd so go there for this, if only to meet like 5 of you and finally buy GU since I'd be in the states BUT here's a little spoiler-don't count on it

On a different forum for a different convention, since the majority of people are within a smaller area, more easily reachable then the broadness of the united states, we have these little get-together's every now and then aptly titled 'Meet-ups'. We organize the date, time and place in advanced(Couple weeks to a couple of months depending on how big they are).

We then have a general idea or impression of what we'll be doing(Fancy talk for if it's christmas we'll have a christmas party, if it's new years we'll have a new years party) and pretty much leave it open for anyone to come along.

You keep updating people with information as required, so that way people can keep up to date with everything going on.

It's all basic logic stuff but it works out well for us down here (and the people who organize them sometimes would easily ask you 'what is this logic you speak of').

I'm just throwing that to you guys as a suggestion. I mean sure, you might think there's some risk involved with something like this, but we've been doing that stuff since 2005 and not once has there been any creepy bastard who was stalking us. there is often a bastard who either annoys people or is disliked by people who shows up, but they tell you in advanced and aren't creepy.

If I was able to go. I would for sure. It would be fun. I haven't ever been to an anime con before.

We should be room mates.

Can I come stay with you too?

I'd go... if it weren't so far away. orz Go to AX, then I'll go. XDD;

Nope. I lives in California.

Though I'm going to Anime Expo and Comic Con though so I could probably do some filming there.

Well, overall Chicago is closer to Georgia, Canada, California, etc. than any of those places are to each other, so think of it as some sort of compromise. At one point there was actually a plan to move the capital of the U.S. to southern Illinois in order to be in the middle of everything, but everyone realized southern Illinois sucks so the plan was scrapped...

hey ill go
