^^ thanks for the invite, I would love to stop by. I am a little shy at first in person, but there lots if time before they con for me to get to know everyone. I am totally pump about this year, since we are heading up on thursday morning, we wont be late this year like we were last year lol. How long as everyone been going to Anime North? This is my second year as well as my bf and his best friend. I conviced my best friend to fly up with his bf, so I get to take his anime north virginity this year LOL. We are going to cosplay as Kirito and Asuna. My Lambent light is coming a long nicely. Though I gotta get to work on my bf cosplay his going as shredder from TMNT. I am also debting if I personally should also have a second cosplay. What does everyone think? Would a third cosplay be to much for one person to complete by May?

It's alright to be nervous. I definitely was the first time I went. I'm glad to see more FFR people getting in on this!

I can add you on the list then as well. Are you staying at a hotel as well? As for cosplay, I'd say that the more cosplays the better, but I've never done it before and can't really afford to this year since I need a big amount of money just to get from my city to Toronto haha.

If you want to meet up with all the FFR people going, then I suggest meeting up in the DDR room on Saturday at 7pm.

Oh ya totally count me in! There going to be five of us going in my group. I dont have the hotel yet have to wait for my taxes to book them but I use hotwire to get the rooms really cheap and my friend using it to get cheap flights for him and his bf, for the both of the. Its about 600-700 round trip. I should be getting my T4 in the next few weeks lol. I wouldnt miss anime north, I would sell my left kidney to make sure I get to go lol. I dont see why we wouldnt be able pop in and say hi. I love the idea of getting to meet new people from different parts of the world. Ya I understand cosplay can get exspanive. Though cardboard is my best friend when it comes to making my cosplays lol, oh and lots of hot glue. Lol.

there's been a hotel change for our group and we are at the radisson instead of the doubletree now. managed to get rooms there and swapped over, which will save us some $$$

[ddr_f4n]

Btw guys, there's a possibility that the room might not be a DDR room anymore, but more of a general rhythm gaming room

My friend Khoa is talking to the guy that owned all the rhythm games at MAGfest that might bring those games over to AN. That means Technika, IIDX, Taiko, DDR, Jubeat, and more

[Gundam-Dude]

back in 2009 I remember khoa having an exclusive bemani gaming time with iidx and pop'n music except it was a huge failure considering that dan and I showed up and there were literally only 5 people in the room including ourselves and him rofl

I guess with the surge of rhythm gaming interest and activity as of late, it would be an excellent time to pretty much bring it back but as a full on gaming room all weekend long american anime con style

Same place as last year?
Radisson is 10x better anyways because i'm lazy.
I think i'll have my OWN vehicle this time 2, so instead of hanging around 4 dinner we can drive somewhere cuul and go on a hot date

Ah yeah, he mentioned that a few weeks ago. If it works out I will literally spend the entire weekend in that room (though I probably will anyway, I just suck at DDR) >.>

Really sad that I haven't had a chance to get to magfest yet, sounds so awesome but none of my friends want to go

Khoa is going to have little chance of getting that to work. Anthony and Greg would have to travel all the way to Canada and they would have to receive some sort of substantial pay to pay for the costs. HOWEVER in good news I have been talking to Khoa and chances are we are going to have Tricoro at AN. I am also checking out if we can get USB readers to act as Eamuse cards for IIDX.

edit: AN ignored Khoa's requests for the machines

I wouldn't worry hunnie this is its 17th year, and I don't see any signs of it slowing down.

[ReikonKeiri]

still no confirmation on who i can stay with. ill pm my number to danceguy, but i feel very uncomfortable waiting till may for a definitive answer lol.

[megamon88]

Talked with my university's DDR club and some people are planning on going. You guys might know some of them because they've been to previous ANs lol

Probably not going to go myself though since it'll be during my co-op work term

My bad! Let's try to figure this out as soon as possible.

Could anyone tell me about sneaking someone into a hotel room? I skimmed some Google results and saw everything from "it was fine" to "we got kicked out." I've never organized hotel arrangements myself before now, so I'm just not sure if it's a good idea.

[Gundam-Dude]

certain hotels have strict regulations and have employees watch over the number of people that enter and leave hotel rooms, but a lot of the time you can get away with an extra person or two in your room if you're careful enough to not get caught. in the case you do get busted, you're most likely going to get a warning from someone saying something similar like "it's a dangerous fire hazard to have that many people in a room", etc.

from my own experience, our AN room is usually overpacked and the most we ever got was a warning at the radisson when we were checking out on sunday afternoon.
