Tokyo in Tulsa

After a lot of thinking it over, I decided to forego Anime Expo this year (mostly the hassle involved in travel and shipping), and instead get a table at Tokyo in Tulsa the next weekend - smaller con, but it's local-ish and I don't have to ship stuff there and most importantly I DON'T HAVE TO GET ON AN AIRPLANE. :) So I just got the table. ([livejournal.com profile] the_z, you decided if you're coming or not yet?)

Oh crap! I better sign up for a table. Our funds are currently tied up in taxes and the roof, but we're definitely leaning toward going! I'm glad you got a table. It's more reason to go just to see you again:D

The table price includes 2 badges, so that's good. :) I just sent an email to the director asking if the website was going to be updated anytime soon, as I'd rather like to reserve a room. :)

Yeah, their table/badges package is a really good deal! They say there are some hotels 4-5 minutes out that are much cheaper, too. Bo and I usually go for those sorts and it gets us out of the trouble of con elevators.

I'll probably look for one of those (all hail Priceline!), but the website not being updated since November has driven me crazy enough that I had to complain. XD

That's one I might hit (only a 4 hour drive for me).

It's about 4 hours for me, too, but by Texas standards, that's local. XD

No one seems to be traveling much this year. Have fun!

It seems I can convince myself to get on a plane if it's been long enough since the previous time, where "long enough" depends heavily on my previous experience. So one year between flying on an airplane with a cancelled flight and an hour and a half thunderstorm-induced sitting on the tarmac is just not long enough for an anime convention. I could probably have convinced myself if I were going overseas. XD

Ah well! Next year, perhaps!

I'll have to stop by your table next time you're at AX. :) I'm still not sure if I'm going myself, but I sure do love me some artist's alley. Mmm.
