You should definitely make an effort to come, if you really want to. This year will be unlike any other.

no money at all...

damn, i wont be able to come for another few years...

sucks to be me

Really looking forward to meeting everyone! Seriously this is MASSIVE for me. Leaving the country and all!
Excited for traveling as well, and getting to meet so many inspirational people!
MUCH LOVE! HOPE IT GOES WELL!

Also Purpleeyes is coming as a definite. Also Spencer~

Purpleeyes is already listed as a confirmed attendee, and Spencer is still unsure of whether he'll make it.

I was going to go, but youmacon is not worthy of my time for the following reasons:
1. Too far away. They should've picked a place closer to the center of the U.S. to host such a huge convention.
2. Too costly. There is NO way that they need that much money to keep the thing afloat. Not to mention extra gas money.
3. What does Youma even mean?
4. Nobody that's REALLY famous is going. Call me when Robert Downey Jr. is going.
5. Not enough people think anime is as bad as it is.

1. Oh well, you don't really HAVE to go if you don't want to ^^
2. It's understandable as not everyone has a lot of money
3. Youma is a Japanese word meaning "Monster" or "Demon" (stuff along those lines)
4. I didn't know that Robert Downey Jr. liked anime O.o How did you find this information out?
5. What's an animu?

Come to Anime Gotham! If you like sports, there will be a football game coming up soon as well. I'll be attending!
Once you come, you'll never want to leave. You probably won't be able to.

There isn't any constructive criticism in a thread about whether or not you are going to a convention. You aren't being "Constructive" about anything. Keep being like this and I'm going to have to start issuing you warnings.

As per the request of admin-sama, I'm now going to stop giving constructive criticism to Youmacon. Instead, I'd like to state that I'm happy that every cool person in the world is going like Xcaliborg, Kuu, KamiOfBarrels, Chommper17, Runawayturist, CrazyObsessive, MrSkoringo, and TransformingMorpher.

*Admin-sensei and stop being a smartass, you're on not only mine, but the other moderators' Watch lists and they've asked me already about giving you warnings. So far I've told them not to because I want to give you the benefit that you will start behaving and listening, but I can't do that forever.

Put me down for Youma!

Not to mention my work schedule wouldn't permit this kind of thing anyway...

I can't afford to be there but I will be there in spirit...once I get this astral projection thing down.

Well, I think Youma is out for me this year, But I will be going to Nan Desu Kan on the 14-16 of September. It's located in Denver, CO.

Some how, I doubt I'll be attending Youmacon.
However I will be attending Brisbane Supanova in november, where no abridged people will be going in an official capacity.

Who's going to Yoshi-con?

I'll be honest, I hated that video by 12 seconds in. I'm sorry, "hated" is a strong word. It was very annoing.
