Alright, we've got a lot more attendees planning to go to A-Kon this year so why not get some info about this up? We'll need to do some planning to get this all together.
A-Kon 19 will be held at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel in Dallas, Texas May 30th to June 1st (Friday through Sunday) 2008. We will be there all weekend and the current plan is to drive instead of fly. A-Kon’s site is a-kon.com/ and all the latest updates can be found on there, though I will try and keep all the info you need on here.
First of all, here is the list of people who are going:
Night Fido Mikko (Fido's sister) Allie Rachel (Allie's sister) Stasia Riley? (If I can't go, none of the people below can either) Ani Kama Thrax?
IMPORTANT:[/u] Registration dates! If you are planning to go the full weekend, you need to register! Get it sent off in the mail because they need it soon. If you wait, the rate will go up and that is not what you want. Buy it cheap now. Pre-Registration Dates2007 Price: $35Price after January 1st: $40 Current Price: $45 On-Site Registration is: $50? We hope to see you there![/color]

I'm planning on coming, if possible. That is to say, if I have the money, and evil parents will let me, so I'll see what I can do.

Yeah, I'm definately gonna go! 8D *dances* But I think I might going have to fly though, it depends on what my college schedule looks like. But we'll see. :3 But gah, I need to pre register for Akon AND NDK. *whimpers, curls up in my corner* Money is just flying out of my pocket... T_T

ah ani well you always know that you dont need to freak out about your ticket cause you know that i'll pick up the tab! consider it a birthday present from me.
ALSO
please guys dont rush about this just yet, I have yet to really sit down and make plans with this as we dont usually do that till next month..so sometime around then. I just dont like feeling pressured when I see all of yall being like 'lts get tickets now!' we still have a while, and yes I know that pre-reg will go up but whatever. Also I dont totally know whats going on with hotel arrangements. but I DO know these are the people staying in my room as of this moment -fido -me -ani -mikko (aka fido's sister)
also ani we would really like you to come stay with us maybe a week or even just a couple of days before the convention just so we can hang out and maybe work on costumes and what not <3 but as I said we'll have to see how that one goes. I also was the one that suggested yall driving cause well....I have to drive XD besides the 10 hour road trip at 3am just adds to the convention experience!
well anyway thats all I have to say about that atm

Night... You always do too much for me ;;' This is another reason why I bought you so much Christmas present this year. xDD
Well, I probably don't get around to buy the tickets soon anyway so no worries here. >_>; *giggles*
I would really really love that, Night! I do wanna come back to Louisana for a while before the convention but, like I said, I don't know what my college schedule looks like around that time. Hopefully I'll be off for another break but no promises at all. *crosses paws*

Ok... well... *shifty eyes* Yeah. I finally mentioned the A-kon trip to my mom. She was quite, well, surprised. Totally unexpected to her somehow. I swear I mentioned it to her briefly once. *sigh* Well, she stayed pretty clam as I explained it to her but she's all like "Texas? Why do you want to go there? Why do you want to hang out with people you barely even know? (aka Night, Fido, and Mikko) Are there any adults?" Ya know. That sorta stuff. She didn't say no and she didn't say yes. She simply said, "Talk to your father but I wouldn't keep my hopes up."
So now it'll be onto my dad. Somehow I find it easier to ask him for things. In fact I'm pretty sure my mom is going to tell him about what I want to do here in a few minutes. They just went to bed. So I might have a better picture of how this is going to go down in the morning. I'll keep you guys posted and I'll text you personally as soon as I have an answer. Now even if I am allowed to go, I am a bit worried about money. I really don't have much of it. Though from here on out I'm going to be saving all my paychecks (as I just got paid yesterday) instead of keeping them as cash in my wallet. I suppose I could always get a loan from my parents or relatives... I've pretty much paid them the $800 that I owed them back, what's some more? If I get my grades up and do what they ask and be nice and etc, I'll have a much better chance at being able to go.
So, cross your fingers! And if not this year, next year it is!

Hey... HEEEEEY. *waves paws* Your mom knows me! I'll be 19 when Akon comes around! Heck it's my birthday on that day!! :D And I can promise her that I know these people [Night, Fido, Mikko, etc] and... well, they're harmless! Mostly. xD But yeah, if she has questions and/or doubts, she can talk to me if she wants.
....
Because if you don't drive, I'll be soooo fuuuucked and won't go at all... unless someone is willing to pay for my plane tickets but I rather not allow that to happen. *Phoenix Wright sweating* So yeah, I'm really hoping for the best Riley because... THIS I can promise... Akon is definitely worth it and I would really love it if you and Kama can experience it for yourself. <3<3

Yes, that is true. I'll definitely try and do everything I can to convince them. And I wouldn't want you to not go Ani because of me! That would be a big disappointment.
And Kama? Are you really going? Have you talked with your mom at all because we are going to need to know FOR SURE that you can go, and VERY soon. If you can go... well, the room arrangements are going to become a big problem and we'd need to work that out.
And in other infos, I calculated the trip and it's going to be a wonderful 12 hour drive. Not to mention stopping for food and gas. So as for gas, we'll probably need to stop twice there and twice back, judging how my car's gas millage is. And every time I fill up gas, it's around $40 or so and total would be like $180. Depending who's driving with me, we can split the cost. Paying for gas sure beats an airplane ticket! That's why I wanted to drive. And Ani and I can switch off driving. Yey yey.

Oh man, that IS so much cheaper than just one passenger plane ticket and 3 of us are going! [...maaaaaybe 4 if my brother is able to come, I don't know what's up with this. lD;;] Me, you and Kama can all split the money for your gas Riley and I'd totally drive if it's okay with ya! 8DD
We also need to decide on the time schedule too; because... damn it all, I still have classes on Monday and yeah. We'll probably have to leave Sunday late afternoon. BD;;; I don't think Don [my awesome teacher] will mind me coming in later then I should be but yeah. Other wise, I think we'd be pretty much set if your parents says yes.
Btw Kama, your mom is awesome. End of story. xD
