We're Nerds '07 Edition.

[DOOM Anomaly]

This thread has to do with Animé Evolution if you couldn't tell with the title. Anyone going this year can post in here and stuff, just so we have a general idea as to who is going so we don't look too much like lost tourists like last time.

The registration form you need to print and fill out and jazz is here.

Pre-registration ends on June 30th. I actually have no idea if we can pre-register, but if anybody is interested at this point then let me know because PayPal is one of the ways to do it, and seems like the fastest way. I'm currently asking about the situation, so I'll post about that later.

If we do pre-register, our passes can be picked up the night before at I think it's about 5pm-9pm. It's the Thursday we get home from camping so it may be a little bit of running around, but it may be better than waiting in a line the next day. Though I think there may be a line at the pre-reg pick up anyway. :P

I don't know how long you all want to go for, I'll go for any amount.

From what it stands, I don't know who is going to be there as far as guests goes. Hopefully there will be some super awesome people.

And yeah. That's about it.

Edit: Oh yeah, it starts at like 9am or something, but there's no real need to be there that early unless we want to just look around at people or plant a flag claiming our land.

I know I'm going, so here's a list of who we know are going in order of anyone not starting with the letter 'J' last:

James
Jordan
Jarrod
Corey
Oliver

EDIT 2.0: We are not pre-registering. That's for fancy people like Nick Lee who don't use parking spots.

HERE is the page displaying the famous peoples that will be at AE. There are more than likely more people coming than what is stated on the page, but it gives us an idea of what to expect.

well if we go for the three days then we could get the premium packages and get extra cool goodies in our huge bags

olivers in

I just need to book it off work and I'm good.

Speaking of lines, I happen to remember last year there was no line to get in... line seemed bigger for the costume people.

I read a lot of back and forth stuff about the premium and gold and all that stuff registrations on the forums, but all that really interested me was one that got me in. :P

I'm not sure what the bags will be like this year because everyone was complaining about them last year. AE doesn't provide the bags themselves, but are given the bags by Tokyopop, so they had no control over them being the size of a small nation. I liked them, personally.

As for Oliver, that's awesome. Always great to have more people we know and we haven't seen him in a while.

Yeah, that could be either people who didn't pre-register like us, or people who did pre-register but weren't able to pick up their passes the day before.

The reason of pre-registering is so that we don't have to wait in that line. If we get our passes on the Thursday before we can just walk into the convention without having to go sign in or whatnot. We also don't have to look like we just got separated from our parents at the mall.

Well whatever works out best I guess.

[badassbassplaya]

sounds pretty good to me

[SPN]

Any clue when they will start telling us who is going, as in famous people.

[DOOM Anomaly]

So far they've just said "updates coming soon!" :P

At this point only like three people have been named, one of which is a voice actor.

We'll be there though, so all the stars you need will be in da hüse.

Though if I'm gonna try pre-registering, I need to figure out who wants to try, and then I need all your personal information required for the registration (I think). Depending on how many people want it I may or may not have enough money in my account to do it.

[SPN]

I guess I will give it a try.

We talked about this yesterday but the list has been updated with people.

You can go here to see who they have posted. I'm totally psyched for meeting quite a number of them already.

Hopefully as you said Scott and Vic can rejoin as well. :D

Also as said, we won't be pre-registering because it requires a credit card or something complicated. If I got to this earlier we could have done it by standard mail. Which actually I think is still an option if anyone wants to do it themselves. I just can't print anything and I don't mind the whole line-up deal.

Updated the first post. :D

[SPN]

Yay... I know one of them.

[DOOM Anomaly]

Four here. :D
