Should have seen the looks I got last year sitting in the hotel bar with all my Blackhawks stuff on. =)

This is my first youmacon, I'm defiantly excited but sad at the same time, not going with the boyfriend to a convention but with friend's. And, this will be my first time heading to michigan. But over all I'm excited! Because I've heard many good things about this con from my friend who has been there!

This will be my second year at Youmacon! Pretty sure my significant other and I are going to be various forms of Shizuo and Izaya (Durarara!!) all weekend, and in theory we're running a few panels.

I'm up for late night trips down to greektown for food again! Can't wait for the fun to ensue while the sleep lessens....

Seriously though, the fact that it's in Detroit shouldn't be a reason not to go. Grant it, I can at least warrant that statement now that the con is actually IN Detroit. For the first five years the con wasn't even in the city itself (heck, first 3 years it was held in what is considered the safest suburb of Detroit) and people still didn't want to go because it was 'Detroit'. I can warrant the statement, but I'd have to strongly disagree.

Oh, and I LOVE the Coney/Greek resturaunt in the food court. Place kept me fed all weekend when I wasn't hitting up Plakka's, Pegasys, or Nikki's.

I head the convention center actually has a food court, is that true? Or just a rumor? If they do have it I know I'm going to spend my money on cheap food and hopefully Starbucks if the hotel has starbucks.

Yep! You don't have to leave the convention center at all! There's also a CvS and a movie theater, depending what you need/would like to do.. there's also a convenience shop, a candy store (kind of pricy, but not bad on the selection), a sit-down restaurant, and iirc, a Potbelly's.

This will be my second Youmacon as well. I'm pretty excited for it actually. I need to start my costume here in the near future, or risk not getting it done in time!

It's stupid, but I thought it would be funny. It's a lolita dress that's modeled after DBZ armor. I have a scouter and stuff too.

UGhhhh, I didn't even notice this topic, haha.
This'll be my first time attending Youma this year, and I can't wait!

Also, I saw some of your progress shots on FB, Krystal - it looks great!

I have a room and want to go, I just need more people to room with. D= Otherwise I'll have to cancel by Wednesday. So yeah. If anyone needs a room, you're welcome to stay in mine.
I'd baw hardcore if Bleach time skips to the future for a quick snippet that ends the series. In which, Ichigo will look just like his dad with a worse haircut. I feel a reminiscent sadness that only DBZ inspired at the mere prospect of this. Because let's face it. Gohan turned into a complete chode.
