WHAAAA!? I'm going to a Con!? No ways!

My friend Mina is fairly big on anime, and therefore anime conventions. I have been quite envious of her because I have wanted to go to a Con for a long time. And while she manages to not only go, but also makes really good costumes to cosplay in, I, on the other hand, must stay home and wait for the time in which I have money.
In college, one of my professors had each of us write up a "hundred things to do before I die" list (now known as a "bucket list" - things to do before you "kick the bucket"). Mina found the list and offered to help me cross some of the things off. First was going to the amusement park Knoebels in Pennsylvania. One of our mutual friends was getting married, and since the whole lot of us are far from the "strip club" type, we had the bachelorette party at the park. Very fun indeed. Anyway, Mina noticed that another one of the items on my list was to go to a con. And so it was her sole mission for the past 6 months or so to find us one. And she succeeded.
There is a con in the PA/NJ/NY tri-state area. It rotates the state that houses it or something, but whatever – not important. The important thing is that it’s called AnimeNEXT and if we register before the end of the year we can go the entire weekend for just $35! Best part is that we can all commute to and from the con, so no added dough needed for hotel rooms. We could even BRING food and save a little more cash! I could pull off $35! Mina for the win!
I even have Remy agreeing to come with. He’s asking some of his Otaku friends if they’d like to join, and I have Celia and Peter deciding on my end. If we get a large enough crowd we may get even MORE knocked off with a group discount. Plus that means more people to split gas, so we each pay less! Win again! TOTAL WINAGE!
ANYWAY, the only problem is that the convention isn’t until JUNE of next year! They don't even have any information up about the 2010 con except for the location and weekend! I have to wait 8 months (roughly) for this convention! GAAAH! I can’t wait that long!!!! I’m totally obsessing over it already! Eight months of obsessing!? At least this blog will fill up quickly. >_<
