Anime Boston 2007 Note.
Apr. 6th, 2007 12:45 amSO I'm home. As I've told most people I am glad to be back home to my very comfy bed and away from subways and trains, but I do miss my vacation. I had a good time.
Um..before I LJ cut to launch into my details of my trip, I will put a note here for my ABers (...and will have to tell Matt at some point). We may be having another in the room, that makes SEVEN. YES that means it will be crowded and YES that means not the neatest room but really, if a full messy room really pisses you off you shouldn't attend cons. Last year I dealt with whining about not letting the maid in or something, I won't tolerate it this year. Our room was nothing in comparison to some I have seen. So, you deal, or whine somewhere else. After all the room is really just a place to store stuff, change clothes, and sleep. I know that all sounded bitchy...but I feel sort of last year was my fault in not being clear about things and such. This year people SHOULD know what to expect.
Anyway the seventh person if he decides to stay will be Chris. He is a very cool guy, Keith and Keri I know you two have met him. He is not someone who will give us shit or be a dick, trust me. This addition ALSO makes it cheaper on all of our wallets.
We will probably all owe about $50 apiecce but don't hold me to it. Last year I really got fucked and paid twice what everyone did because dumb ole me forgot about room tax. If we all owe $65 or something, so be it. I'm certainly paying an equal share for anyone who thinks for a minute I'm asking too much better rethink that. I'm always nervous to ask about the monies because I feel like I'm asking people to pay me for something, not do their part in hotel or whatever. Already I'm seeing murmurings and hearing people say "Oh money gonna be tight I'll ONLY have the $50 for room" ..SUCK IT UP. I have been telling people it may be more for a few months now. Cons aren't for SAVING money by any means, that should be known.
Yes some people will sleep on the floor. Don't throw a hissy fit. It's not me trying to be a bitch even if that's what people want to believe. If you guys want me to sleep on the floor to make some sort of point, I will.
I know all this sounds kinda bitchy. Despite that, I think if everyone is clearer on things this year, it will run better. Remember, I'm doing my best. I want people to have fun. And to do that, I would really ask that people communicate with me too. A series of grunts or blank stares doesn't constitute an answer, and neither does excitedly running off in the middle of talking. And please, PLEASE, if I'm going to an event and you want to come along, BE ON TIME. I'm not waiting 20 minutes because someone couldn't get a freakin grip and be ready on time. Please watch the schedule and listen. For one, I'm going to the Masquerade as usual this year, and may be in charge of a camera again. I want good seats and will head out early to line up. If you're not coming, that's fine, but don't claim you're coming and then run to Starbucks for 15 minutes.
I guess that's all....now that I've scared everyone away I hope we have fun O_O;;
On a lighter mood, anyone want to bring a snazzy suit, don a wig and go to the little formal cosplay dance with me?
Now I'll actually make a separate entry for my trip.
