ANIME DETOUR: MARCH 28TH- 30TH, 2008; THEME= ITS THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!!
Yes of course we had to do this, make a topic DAYS after AD2K7 ended, but here it is.
Before anything else I want to talk a little and maybe get input.
I thought we were really unorganized. We had no idea what to do, could never find eachother, and alls I wanted to do was go to photoshoots.
I think next year we need some plans. My mother is going to register, more than likely with, but I'm unsure. I also think my friend Kelly will be coming, and we should expect new freshman next year, with the biggest class coming and all.
The things I want to do are: A.) A CHS Otaku Club photoshoot. B.) A mall raid. CHS or not, I wanna go on a real one. C.) A group cosplay, for those who are interested.
It was hard. We couldn't find other people and when we did, we sort of clung. I really like the idea of an adjoining room, but I'm almost definatly staying with my mom and Angel again.
This next detour I will more than likely be photoshoot-whoring again, but I want to get other things straightened out. If you already registered, I'd like to know, because that excludes you as a group leader or member (con-wise), and you have to pick up you own badge XP lol. Also, I think that someone over 18 has to pick up the group badges, but I'm unsure.
Also, people should have a better idea on their schedules. I was totally unprepared for what happened, and I ended up only going to 3 pannels, and not even for the whole thing.
DETOUR 2008
Now on to the important part. :3
Most things haven't changed. Rooms cost the same, and the reg. fee will probably be the same, unless they decide to make it a 4 day con.
Make sure that you save as much money as you can. I have to be on the payroll this summer so my parents can transfer my money into an account I can access, and that gaurantees me a job with my father. Get a summer job if you can.
My mother will be attending Detour next year, and plans on registering so she can volunteer. We will also see about getting stuff to eat and drink again. If we need anything else I'll see what we can do.
PEOPLE PLANNING ON ATTENDING ANIME DETOUR 2008 (**= pre reg'ed at AD2K7; *= paid [waiting on these for now]( Micah T. **Mark S. **Betsy S. Alayna C. Angel B. Kelly B. Lisa C. (aka, the Con Mom) Joel R.
[this is all I'm sure of for now]
Tips/ things I learned:
**Don't plan on attending a pannel every hour...it doesn't work like that. A lot of pannels come back, so plan on coming back with them!!
**Bring memory cards, espically if you are a picture whore like me.
**Finish your cosplay on time. I know its fun to procrastinate and all, but seriously, it sucks.
**Watch what you eat/ drink. I know this sounds opposite of what Micah told everyone every week, but I figured out why cosplayers don't eat or drink a lot. Let me give you a hint. It took me around 10 minutes to just get into my dress, makeup and hair completed. If I had to go the bathroom at all while in it (luckily I didn't) then I would have to go back to the hotel room, have someone un-zip it, take the entire 4 layers off, and then put it back on...and re-tape it to me >.<
**Pre reg. If you plan on going, REGISTERATION WILL FILL AT THE DOOR ON FRIDAY!! There might not even be any extras this year.
**Get a room. Or pitch in, It must of sucked to have to drive every day, ne?
**Cosplay. If you need help, ask. I will be willing to help you, but keep in mind I am taking 6 AP (Advanced Placement) classes next year. That means if you want me to make something for you, it will be a commission, because this coming year, you will be buying my time, little of which I will have. I'll probably only do kimonos though.
**Go to atleast one photoshoot, espically if you are a fangirl/ boy
**Bring extra money. You can pre-reg if you really wan't to, but I'd suggest spending it...lol. The really cool things like collars and heartless hats went right away, so you should get them while you can.
**Buy something in the artists alley. Its something you can't get in other places, and it makes the artists happy.

| if we need someone to pick up the badges again, lemme know alayna cause i am willing to do that, i just dont want to organize it all, thats all (did it for 2 years in a row.) also alayna, ask your mom if she is willing to book 2 adjoining rooms and before detour i will pay her in full for the room (that way we can be garunteed adjoining rooms) we also want to be in the courtyard if at all possible. anyone is welcome to join my room, just dont do shit XD i also dont want anyone i dont know in my room (if i know them for a year+ they are fine, just dont want shit stolen, club members are ok) ummmm, in terms of food/drink, like alayna said- watch what you eat/drink, eat/drink smart, have water and real meals, and fill up when hungry but it is a pain to over eat. And this year gona be honest, i felt really bloated and had gas on sat cause i didnt eat right >.< felt like crap. lets get this in the planning phase. rooms lets try for: 1. Adjoining 2. In the courtyard 3. 2 beds per room Another note about my room i would like 4-8 people to my room. I/Nikki already claim a bed though so =P | |

| Micah, add me to the list of peoples staying in your room! please? I think my mom would allow it..I'll be 18 then anyways, so I don't see the problem. If not, then I could always stay in Alayna's room, if that is ok with her (master, is that ok?? ) | |

| Possibly, like I said, I`m still unsure because of how well it worked out with me, my mom and Angel. I also think my friend Kelly will be coming with us, so we`ll probably have more people with us >.<
I`m actually thinking 4 rooms would be better...
BTW: OFFICAL DETOUR 2008 DATES ARE UP, ALONG WITH THEIR NEW THEME!! *Dances* | |

| 4rooms x 6ppl = 24 4rooms x 8 ppl =32 if we had 4 rooms too keep it cheap we would want idealy 6-8 ppl per room if everyone pays their share, i know it costed us $40 per person with just 5 ppl cause with tax its about $200 for the weekend per room, i say idealy we have 2 official club rooms, then we can let anyone who doesnt come to use get their own rooms | |

| Actually when my family goes on road trips and we stay in a hotel i always get the floor. its not that bad really if i was staying in a room with two other people i'd let both of them have the beds cuz i'm just that nice. seriously if you have to sleep on the floor bring an air mattress that way you're a little mor comfortable. | |

| lol then your just not a con survivalist are you? i have been crammed in a room with 9 people in a room that should have only had 4, we pushed the bed to the wall and that makes more open space. =P our bags stayed in the hall / under sinks and such | |

| i am just trying to prove a point, open space on a hotel room floor at a con is a waste, you could save $20+ by doing so | |

| Yeah, I can understand that, but I'm not paying for my own room, so yeah...I probably would if my mom wasn't planning on registering though. | |
