What time did you guys meet up last year? I ask because I've never been to Acen, and this sounds like a great way to meet people (:

Should be around 8 Thursday night.

Okay, aweosme, thank you

[XenoBlade]

Actually, I think we should get a place situated right now (Time most likely would be 8 as usual.) And as for IHOP, we all should leave around 9. When it gets closer to the date, I'll call IHOP to let them know that we will have a pretty big group coming in so they can prepare better. Also at acen, I'll straighten out the rides too, (since some people usually won't) we can take care of some in this thread with people who need rides and who have cars, but I'll handle the majority at acen since we will know for sure then.

Nope. lol No where close. lol

A set Schedule usually doesnt work to well with these kind of things. Take it from someone that knows. Around that time IHOP wont be busy anyways. If everyone is on board with it its one thing, but in my experience usually people like to be spontanous.

No, trust me, a set schedule is what we need. I've been going to these things for 3 years now, and when we had set schedules, things moved smoother, last year when there was confusion is when it all fell apart. I was stating time and all that stuff as a meet and greet veteran.

Also, IHOP won't be busy, but they have to be prepared to serve a large amount of people. When we had a huge group last year, they struggled to get everyone's orders in a decent time.

Ahhhh.. 0o0 So if rides and thinks are settled at ACen... does that mean we meet up initially at the convention center?

Yup. (we meet at the hotel btw, not the convention center itself)

basically this is how it goes, we usually try to aim to have people at the meet (which is held someone in the hotel, when a place is decided, we'll let everyone know) then we usually chat, goof around, introduce ourselfs "OH HEY! it's you from the forums! DUUUUUDE IT'S ME!" and then situate rides and stuff. And then at around 9, we would head to IHOP to eat til late. Then everyone goes there own seperate ways

[Rukariou]

Yeah, you need to make sure to let IHOP know. I remember my old marching band days when we'd go to Denny's after the football games. Sometimes we'd wait an hour for our food, and we should never have to wait so long. This way they'll be able to have enough wait and cooking staffs.

[FlyingElf]

I believe we have let IHOP know in the past. I remember Excel taking care of it at least one year and I assume she has every year.

[KungPowKirby]

I just thought I should clarify. I didnt mean not to tell IHOP we are coming, just give them a heads up that a group will be coming around x time and that someone will call them a half an hour or so before the group comes. Thats just my two cents.

I would love to go to the meet and greet, but I do not have a place to stay Thursday night and I do plan on getting their via blue line.

would someone let me stay in their room just for that night or is someone taking the blue line back to the city?

(Sorry if i'm posting this in the wrong thread, I wasn't really sure where to put it)

Thank you!! Thank you thank you thank you!! This was my problem exactly!! *Is too taking the blue line there and back.. but I didn't want to go alone.. X-X* I'll PM you~!! ^w^

[The Fujoshi]

FINALLY!

I was wondering where this was!

I am going to attempt this for the first time ever in Acen @_@ I heard about this the previous years but this is going to be the year I come out my hiding spot and mingle with humans. Omg this isn't near the blue line which means I definately have to get my bf to drive me to acen this year.

Btw I don't act the same irl like I do on the forums. You will notice this off the bat.

Wow I sound like a drama queen ._.

I got a room pashy but dunno...cause I need help with the hotel cost ._. blame my MUM.

[Kasin]

Sooo...did we decide on a location?

[The Fujoshi]

Btw I can't met on the 18th if you guys do decide on something because that's my birthday and suppose to met my bf since he might not wake up early enough to drive down to Illinois so we can go to Mitsuwa and Acen at a decent time for the hotel. (He's five hours away.)

[Jguy]

I know I said I'd do this last year, but I'll definitely attempt it this year. There's a lot of you that I have yet to meet but yet we've made semi decent friends on the forums (i.e: You haven't told me to go F--- off yet, so I assume everything's cool).

I may or may not be up for the IHOP thing, if I am then I don't mind giving some folks some rides...not a problem for me.

I know I wouldn't be up for the arcade thing...I'd like to stick close to the con center as staff and all >.<

I even have it in my phone this year! Yay!

[animeforever]

I would totally love to go but sadly it' too far, I don't have a car.. maybe next year.

I thought about saying the heck with it but I didn't want to charge one person and not charge the other. ._. I'm trying to take it off since I was suppose to spend so much and mom failed and spent all her share of the rent money so I have to pay 1150 dollars now plus back fees. =_=

@Lonely: no friends/anyone from forums that could drive you to Ihop?

No no!! I completely understand!! I wouldn't want you to do that myself.. owo Wouldn't be fair you know?.. @___@ And gwaaaah... That is super frustrating.. Dx You did a search for a roomie, rights?

Also@Lonely: I talked to Xeno about the ride situation! Basically, once we meet there, or closer to the date, we'd all work out ride situations! ^w^ You're not alone missy miss.. *Made the stupid proposition of walking to IHOP earlier.. xD*

Yeah Lonely, we usually have more then enough people who are able to drive there and can give rides. You can at least come to the meet and greet and find out right?

And I'm going to talk to Flying Elf so he can staple the location down., I can at least say for a fact that it WILL be at 8 oclock thursday(it will be somewhere in the Hyatt, I'll let Elf pick a place). (I think that the arcade is pretty much out since most people don't go thursday.)

And at 9, we'll go to IHOP.

Just in case anyone had questions. We are getting close, so I want to make sure this is more organized then last year.

Grrr...I don't know anyone to accept lift from them, don't mean to be rude but you can't trust people these day because you knew really know. That person might look normal but be totally mental crazy.
I would rather just wait until next year when i got my own car.

You really don't trust anyone do you?

[Kaia Hatsune]

I know that if i go, I will be taking the train, so would anyone be able to fit me in their car to IHOP?

I don't take up a lot of space! I'm very small XD

Sorry you feel that way, but if you feel that way, then that is how you feel. You can AT LEAST come to the meet and greet part of it right? It's in the Hyatt. The IHOP is the part that requires cars.

We'll figure something out for you around the time of the convention or during the meet and greet.

What did I do now? As for place. Let me talk to some of my friends on staff first to find out where they'll be running certain things so we don't setup right next to IRT dispatch like we have in a couple years past.

[kahad]

I'll be there!!!
