I can vouch that that's an EXTREMELY good price for a 3-day con badge (Comic-Con bumped up 4-day badges to $100 this year, but if you got preview night it's pretty much a 5-day convention).

Wish I could go, but with con season happening here in California and with not much money for traveling, accommodations, food, or swag, we just wouldn't be able to make it this year.

We've got Anime Expo in a few weeks and Comic-Con a few weeks after that. We just had Los Angeles Rock'n Comic Con and Anaheim Comic Con. Fanime was also going on last weekend up in the Bay area.

Oh, yeah... Sorry about that! I added the links to the website and the forums, but the layout for Xeogaming doesn't seem to note them as links unless you hover the mouse over them. So here's the urls:

Website: www.animedetroit.org (has all the info on ticket prices and the hotel info, too. There's also a rough schedule up, of which I will be host a good 75% of the things listed. Ew. Hahha!)

Forums: www.animemotown.com (We still have pretty low forum numbers because it's the same idiots posting one-liners or spam and so many people with utterly horrid grammar/spelling! *cringe!*

In general, this is probably one of the cheapest anime conventions I've ever seen. Even as a double-dept. head of staff I'm still like, "dude! WTF?! It's only that much monies?! Sweet!" (And I get all my shit free... kind of. I work my ass off for it, really.) The pre-reg. price for a 3-Day badge (ticket) is only $25 and the hotel rooms are only $79/night. Aka it's all dirt cheap. X3

And Katana, I missed you! ΓΆβ„ΆΒ¥ I'm glad to see at least someon'e happy I'm still alive. X3

You know...I've been very interested in the prospect of broadening my horizons and traveling a bit (Okay, going to conventions...XD) I actually can't afford crap this year, but I am saving, and it actually does seem like a cool idea to go and actually meet some people, if I'm going to be traveling and spending that kind of money anyway.

I'm from Philly, PA, so I'm a bit away, but still...is there a website for the convention? Or may I torture you for some more info, Nataku (welcome back btw! I've been stoked all day since I've seen you here.) about estimated peices, etc. Hotels/actual travel I can just look up myself, especially since prices changes pending on when things are booked...but yeah...

My interest is peaked. <3

If I had the money and time!

I still haven't been to any kind of con myself... someday perhaps.

Yeah, I really have no idea where I should post this... but i figured the "Otaku Lounge" was my best bet. If it needs to be moved, go for it!

As of summer 2009 I've been part of the staff for a new anime convention called Anime Detroit. It's in its second year now and I've been promoted twice since it's start, from general staff to Artist Alley Department Head, and again to Head of the Events and Panels Programming Department. With two very large departments under my command, this year's convention will be hectic, but very much fun, I'm sure! As things stand now, we have a pretty full schedule already and each day I find myself adding in new panels, events, photoshoots, etc. along with a great bunch of other stuff. We have some great guests coming, too.

HOWEVER! The real reason I'm posting this is because I'd like to share the con with anyone who'd like to come. I've been inactive as heck for a good while, but have recently rediscovered my adoration for forums (mostly because I run the one for Anime Detroit.) If anyone from Xeogaming is interested in attending Anime Detroit, I'd really like to know! I'm always excited to meet new people, but I'm especially excited at the idea of meeting interweb friends in person - and being able to enjoy a convention with them, too!

Obviously I don't know who's located where, and I really don't mean this as advertising. I'm just hoping to use the idea of an anime con as a good place to meet people I already know or will hopefully know shortly. I have been away for a while, and there are so many new faces! It's still great to see all the old friend, too! Katana, Rouge, True Flight, Elara, Kaijin Surohm, White Rose, Leon D. Sagara, Evo... the list goes on and on and on! ♥

So I really hope that, if you're interested and/or live in the area, you check it out. If you do plan on attending, or even think you may want to come... please let me know! I'd like to meet anyone willing to stop by and say, "Heya!"
