This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!'... and Gon's Balls will whisper 'First... comes... rock!' Hah!  Made you stare at Naruto's Marshmallow!  Pushing the logo off-center to drive TheOcean insane.

Default Youmacon 2009

http://www.youmacon.com/

Anyone plan on attending it? It's being held in Dearborn, which isn't too far from where I live (lucky me).

Little Kuriboh, Kroze, Team Four Star, Doug Walker (The Nostalgia Critic), Wayne Grayson (the voice of Joey Wheeler), Brad Swaile (the voice of Light Yagami in Death Note), Laura Bailey (the voice of Shin in Shin Chan and Lust in FMA) and a bunch of others are set to appear as guests. I'm really excited to meet them.

I might be cosplaying as Noah one of the days. Won't be wearing his short shorts if I do, but I will have his hair color. Don't hesitate to say hi if you see me.

You wish. :D

My first anime con and it's only a 30 minute drive. Any cosplay ideas? Was thinking of doing Noah, but I might get suspended from school for dying my hair teal. It happened when I dyed my hair blue. >_<

I'm really happy about the distance. 20 miles? Not bad at all. I wasn't even aware there was one of these in Michigan until my friend told me. I doubt it's anywhere near as big as Otakon or Anime Expo. Probably just a couple thousand people. Don't travel hundreds of miles to it unless you really want to meet some of the guests.

I'll have to find someone to go with, but I hope I can.

I know some friends who might want to meet Team Four Star.

I also asked Kroze if he and the TAS team could come so I tried to ask the forums if they could ask them to be a guest. Don't know if it's happening, though.

as normal it's out of my area to get to. They always have good guest's I'd want to see and a band called the spoony bards normaly.
um have we called them out on stealing our game?

Death Note Mafia
Death Note characters take the main roles of this anime-themed interpretation of the popular party game where you must work with a team who could turn against you at any time. For each round, the randomly selected Kira anonymously removes a player, then all remaining players deliberate who should be sacrificed in the hopes of eliminating Kira. The rules will be explained, so prior knowledge of the game and the series is not required. Can the investigators defeat Kira without falling prey to the Death Note?

Well, I suppose it's different enough from this game, and we technically don't have any "rights" to the game. It's probably a lot more like the party game than this forum game anyways.

Yeah, you do. It really wouldn't be the same.

But it'd still be fun. If I were going, I'd probably play.

I really want to go... but I'm having a hard time convincing people to go with me. :V

yer I have same problem, trying to find one which is close enough to be worth going to and getting someone to go is almost impossible, aspecially as outside london, England sucks for these things on the whole

PS Mafia has been round for some time, though I do remember holy starting his own personal war against it lol (PS live action DN game, then would be fun, but have to big area to play it)

Dude, do people in England even know how tiny England is? At least, compared to the United States?

It's not unusual for Americans to drive 6 hours on a road trip. I mean yeah, a drive from the tip of Scotland to London would be too much of a trek but if you only live a couple hours away from London, just drive.

Or maybe I'm just being too American in my line of thinking. XD

yes I do know how big USA is, but still doesn't change fact that in england isn't great amount of them outside london and though I like going to london, after finding someone to go, paying to get in, paying for train and other expenses it can be well over 100 pounds which is A lot more than I can afford, for something like this:-

So unless I can find a GOOD one closer, I'm simply not doing it (I mean if was good one in brimi, I would go if had someone to go with, as their as that would be more like ?40, which probably willing to pay, but at same time, that can be used on lot of other things which my mates would prefer to do)

And As for cars, sally I don't know about USA, But have to ask, Do you how expeneivise a car is in england? after paying up to a grand for a "cheap" but good car, you will have to pay another 2 grand insuring it and another 500 getting it on road with Tax and MOT's....etc, finally around 40 a week in patrol. You can be looking at 3000 pounds for car, pre year (which is what I live off in a year,) now some poeple may have nice parsents to pay for it, I don't so I'm not on road right now, and that isn't inluding parking and congestion charges which can be another 50 pounds each time:-

PS also have you ever tried to drive in london, because unless you have, you will have to trust me, it isn't something I'm ever planning on doing EVER

Eh, enough going off-topic, but all I'll say is that yes, cars are expensive, and I've never driven in London but I've walked around Prague and their driving is insane.

So I looked on the site for events and there were 2 things that struck my interest:

1. The Charity Cosplay Ball
2. Youma Idol

I probably won't enter into the Youma Idol (though I'd be curious to see how far I'd get), but if I can actually get my boyfriend to come with me, I think the Charity Cosplay Ball would be a lot of fun. We don't even have to cosplay, we can just wear fancy outfits. :3

Yeah, I asked Kroze about the con too. He said they'll go if Youmacon's staff invites them, but they didn't seem too interested at Otakon. I guess we'll have to show support for them on the forums.

I signed up for the Youmacon forums and asked them to ask Kroze to go to the con and some people were like, "Yeah! We should totally have them here!" But it doesn't seem like anything has happened since.

Maybe I'll go back there and get them to say something again. Although someone on there was like, "You should get them to come as panelists instead because that's what they usually do." As if that person's an expert about the TAS crew? >_>
