Sakura-Con 2013 Anypony?

[NostalgicPony 310]

So I know some people have been talking about going to Sakura-Con and I am going as well. Is anyone else going to Sakura-Con this year as well?

 

If so, maybe we can get a meetup going or something.

Where is Sakura-Con 2013 going to be at...cause i mostly can get to any Convention for living in Tucson. and having to be 16...i wish there was a convention in the summer

[NostalgicPony 310]

Sakura-Con is in Seattle, Washington. I guess I should have specified that.

 

It's sort of a long trek across the Northwest, but I know lots of people have done it before.

I've thought about going to Sakura-con a few times now, but have never quite been able to convince myself to make the required investments. Unfortunately I don't really think anime conventions are really my sort of thing to be honest, as I went to one while on a trip to Boston several years ago and wasn't too interested in things.

I've been to it about three times (this will be my fourth time going) and it's awesome. The attendance is always 12K+ every year and they have quite the layout. Last year, I went to a few pony panels and bought lots of pony merch and some anime stuff.

 

But yeah, Sakura-Con does require a lot of investment.

Train up to Seattle (from Portland), and hotel expenses for me. The hotel is the real killer, to be honest - the train ride itself is cheap enough that I don't consider it to be an issue, really. I stayed in a Westin hotel near the convention center when I visited Seattle for PAX Prime back in 2011, which was a bit spendy.

 

It's something I'd love to give a shot someday, and may have considered for either this year or the following year, but... well, let's just say that my travel destinations for this year are already booked up.

This does make me want to go, to be honest. v_v

I wanted to attend PAX, but I had no one to go with and it was too much money for me at the time. I guess for me though, Sakura-Con is easy for me because I know someone who has a room that they are willing to share with me and I got a free ride down. Next year I don't think it will be easy for me again though. 

 

And yeah, there was a lot of pony merch at Sakura-Con last year, especially in the Artist Alley. Though, a lot of them went to Everfree as well, which, I still need to attend to as well. The one pane I went to was sort of a kickoff starter for Everfree NW actually.

Well, Sakura-Con is almost coming up, anyone going want to do a meetup?

 

The only panel that I can see where it would be fun is the the Pony AMV Panel (Anthology II + Etc. )

[angels_gal 204]

i'm still up for this.  sorry for not being around too much to talk about this but for the most part i've left this board.  Ponies is not the only thing that's fun at con   cosplay chess is a must attend evvent.  at least in my book it is!

[NostalgicPony 310]

Well I'd like to get an idea of how many people we may be expecting.

 

The All Things Pony (Anthology II + Etc.) AMV Panel is on around 12pm to 2pmish. I'd say we should meetup to that panel because it seems to be the only thing big going on this year that's for Pony.
