I forgot to mention that I'll be at Animazement for the first time this year. The following weekend I'll be at ConCarolinas. Woo! I'm turning into a con whore! ;P
I'll give you a call the Tuesday evening or Wednesday before the con, just to test the number, and get an idea of when you'll arrive- try to make plans from there.
See you there! The other two will be there Thursday night, so you'll be the last one in.
Just let me know before I take off Thursday afternoon. Seeing a friend before going to the con, so need to know how much tiem I can spare. Rush hour in Raleigh can be a royal pain, it's as bad at Atlanta.
Can we get together at some point? :) I can't remember if you have my cell phone number, so if you don't, I'll PM you again :)
Unless plans change, we're doing Zelda photoshoot sometime on Friday, but other than photoshoots, I have no plans. This'll be my first AZ not volunteering :)
I have no idea where Telma is. I know she's not finished otherwise I'd toss my apartment to find her. Ugh. I hate how I still can't get my life on track!
I'm really looking forward to the con. I've never been before! So exciting. ;)
I know I'll be looking to do some social stuff myself.
I don't know what other roommates there will want to do, but I do need to get out some.
I don't really know how the parking it, or a lot about Downtown Raleigh- as this is my first time going to the new Animazement. I'll have to take suggestions- but I do have car.
I did find out that one of the spots my company has the contract for is Charleston. That said, very unlikely that I'll end up there, or anywhere- 20 lost their jobs nationally this year.
Hm. Don't know that one. There's a Mexican place within walking distance we went to last time. What does Bali Hai serve? is that Indian? ::drool::
The biggest problem with Downtown Raleigh is that everything closes after lunch on the weekedays - many places are not open for dinner, but there's Tir Na Nog (not walking distance), Sushi Blues (also not), lots of clubs, pizza places. There's a lot available, just not necessarily near the convention center.
However, almost all parking decks are cheap or free depending on what time you park. I wouldn't rely on our bus system, and if you want a taxi, you'll pretty much need to call ahead, as they aren't sitting around waiting like in Atlanta.
Raleigh's a big place, but we're lacking in some areas other large cities have covered.
Yeah, it's just been a long while since I've been there- at least in the downtown area, not since college.
Thankfully we have car , so we can go places. I'd prefer to stay around other congoers- as cosplayers tend to stick out too far out , and may get negative attention. Maybe I'm just too cautious about such things
It would - especially since they keep having Japanese voice actresses from Sailor Moon there. (Do you realize how freaking pissed I am that I'm missing Chika Sakamoto AGAIN? Fuckin' A, man! Yaten Kou AND Nuriko's VA. I weep.)
So any contacts you can make or information you can gather would be really freaking awesome.
