I liked the building and the convention. Not so crazy about the whole going up and down the stairs thing most of the time though (ouch), but I'll definitely be back! :)

We're planning for it, but we hope nothing or no one bad happens in the meantime. Finances and stuff. We also can hopefully get a lower room in case I get a flareup and need to lie down. :/ That would stink if we were on like, the 60th floor again for this.

I can't wait for Youmacon. It is by far one of my favorite conventions of all time, no matter how many times they change venues.

Maybe I will. This will involve a train ride though because driving for 6 hours at two in the morning causes hallucinations.

It involves someone either ending up with a tattoo of the logo of the Redwings or Dallas Stars.

Alcohol is highly involved.

I hope to go back again this year as well. It was really fun last year and it's a cool venue. (Gotta love the food court.) We'll see if I can get a room at the hotel or else I'll commute from a hotel in the suburbs like last time.

i always heared good things about this con and it close, only issue is that i am kind of alone, can't drive, and i know this is silly but Detroit scares the crap out of me and i take the train to the south side of chicago for work.

i geuss i can take a train that take about a few hours but i how no clue how to get around the city. i go to acen since it only a 5 min drive from my house but i want to go to more cons, but my friends are not really con goeser and this acen i want to change things and it just a web of thoughts and and's right now.

My friends tend to be more afraid of detroit for me, since for some reason they think wearing a Dallas STARS jersey in downtown detroit is a bad idea. :zombie:

I may be there this year. It depends what kind of money I have. Since AP and ACen are so close next year I may not be able to spend any money on fall cons.

Well i have check the prices and added up for hotel, train, badge and food. and it doesn't seem out of reach for me for going there but there is still a few concerns i have like getting from the Detroit train station to the hotel, places to eat. i have a few questions about the con, like how is it, the only cons i been too is acen and recator, the former i love but the latter i hated, i don't know what this con will be like since my only take on cons are from giants like acen and ants like reactor.

EDIT: i didn't hate reactor due too it size, i hate it due too it kind of being a roudy and lowbrow con.

First off if I go you're more than welcome to ride along. I plan on driving up. Secondly, you won't have to worry about food. In the lower level of the convention center in the back there's a food court that has a bit of everything McDonalds, Chinese, etc etc. On the second? floor there is a CVS/Walgreens in case you need any last minute supplies. It's definitely a better experience than Reactor. On a scale of biggness I'd put it in between Acen and Anime Iowa.

I would strongly recommend just McDonalds, Burger King, and Subway for that food court btw. I heard people got food poisioning from the other places last time... I would stay away from them tbh... especially since you're at a convention you really don't need to eat that much you know. Just get something maybe in the morning if you want and then before they close up shop (which sadly I missed on the first night b/c I was walking around and never noticed that huge food court... at 9 pm.. LMAO!)

But yea, I'll take a train to get there if I have to! I'm going! :D
