I definitely wanna go! (wanted to comment on your "can't serve both masters" note TOTALLY AGREE! I'm not sure ACEN's for me anymore, which is a darned shame)

Thanks. Neither alone is really a bad thing. Both together is begging for disaster.
Decide on your masters, people, for you cannot serve both. Either be an anime con or be a 3-day frat party. (I'm Done with ACEN.)

There should be a good turn out this year too--since they WERE on the direct full page back of the 2012 program guide. I'm really excited for this, small cons are always so fun! ^_^

Anybody looking to share a room? I would like to find a roommate. Don't want to pay full price for room, but also don't realy want to have to make the 50 min drive back and forth.
Message me!

now that I've thought about it, I'm really glad this con is closer to some of us suburbanites which makes it (for some) a little more accessible than driving out into the city a super long way.
