Road Trips: Busch & NekoCon

Its time to spend some gas, and take a little adventure to get away from this place! This Saturday marks our trip to Busch Gardens in Virginia. If you’d like to join our caravan just let me know.

Speaking of road trips, the weekend after, the 26, 27 and 28th of October brings another trip back to Virginia for Neko Con.

Three days of fun and adventure in Virginia Beach. If you’d like to join our party there, just let me know. All the beds in our hotel room are booked, but we can rent out floor space! Doesn’t this just set the tone for the con? Check out a section of rules from the Cosplay “Remember no costume is still no costume!! Nudity on stage is really discouraged. If you have a skimpy costume, be sure it’s secure enough that when you get on stage, you don’t end up giving the judges and fans a show you will never forget or possibly live down. Also, excessive use of foul language on stage will be grounds for disqualification from competition and having Tex sicced on you.”

The last anime con I went to which was earlier this year in Durham, NC, Animazement really surprised me, and i enjoyed it a lot more than I thought. I wish i had a chance to participate in more of the events, so now i got 3 days to do that! Con is open day and night, 24 hours, for all sorts of activities, games, movies, classes, hotel room parties, and of course, lots of cute girls dressed as their favorite anime characters.

We’re gathering some people to go to Animazement for 2002 in May, if you’d like to join us, let me know.
