Is anyone in the Pittsburgh, PA area thinking of going to Tekkoshocon (March 29-30th)? I am trying to get off work for it... just in case anyone IS going... Some of my friends expressed an interest in attending... just wondering who else is thinking of going...
I think it's thier first year O_O; so God knows what it will be like... It doesn't sound too bad from their website... never know til you go, eh?
-
I think we're the only ones in the Pittsburgh area here.
But ... Pittsburgh?
-
Erm...where's pittsburgh?

Erm...where's pittsburgh?
In Pennsylvania in the US...

Really? My brothers been there. He said it was "okay" but my brother is really hard to please.
I bet it's really cool there.

O_O; actually I hate it here... it's umm boring...
I want to travel a bit... umm while working...
So I'm trying to get a teaching job overseas...

Actually, that sounds fun! I'd love to go! Maybe we could hook up there! Pittsburg is actually oinly a hop and a skip away from where I live! ;) I guess that means I'd better get my Fatora costume in order!

Well if that's the case we are going on Saturday... (tomorrow)
We'll be there at 8am.
My friends are driving down from Edinboro so there will be 13 + of us milling about... you won't miss the Edinboro people they will all be wearing cat ears O_O;
As far as outfits go... ummm... Bob is gonna be Jinnai, my friend Amanda and I are gonna be Netto and Enzan respectively... and my friend Hayley is gonna be Omi.. I don't know how everyone else plans on dressing... so umm look for us I guess... if you go.
-
Pity I can't go. I'd love to go to a convention with you guys. :'(
-
If you were serious Jewel, you have approximately ... ONE DAY. :p
-
She doesn't now. Did you actually go Rosh?
-
Did Rosh go to Pittsburgh?
-
Judging by her and Rob's absense, I say that she did. I hope they're having a good time. Tim and Sarah too. ;D
I miss Rosh. :'(
-
Lucky them! I take it then they wont be on EHOL tonight, that probably means you wont be on either!! :'(
-
No, it means I'll be depressed because Rosh isn't here. :'(

We need some cosplay pics of Rob as Jinnai!

Pfft, well, AFAIK she didn't go... or if she did, we never saw her.
But anyway, all I can say was, it was less than stellar. Very small, very few dealers, very few events. Hardly worth going. But it was also the first one of its kind and first one done locally, so you can sort of expect a "safe size" and unorganization. My sister can fill in on all her friends' problems encountered, for now I'll just note some stuff that bothered me.
Virtually NO El-Hazard was present! The ONLY things there were VHS tapes (not even DVDs, the Miz mangas, or anything else!)
Worse yet, my last-minute Jinnai suit really didn't give me a very distinct look and I was in a group of mostly catgirls and a couple Rockman EXE-style suits. The only notice of even guessing who I was trying to represent came from one of the girl's within the group, and it was a "Roger" something. (I don't blame her for that, like I said, I wasn't very distinct.) And not one other attendee in any El-Hazard form.
So, with no merchandise and being the only El-Hazardian, I felt very lonely and generally bummed. Then the planned activities kinda sucked, I was bored by 2PM but had to stay for a show being put on by my sister's friends at 7PM. Maaaajor draaaag.
So, provided I ever go along to another of these cons, here's some things I'd improve on:
1) GET SOME OTHER EL-HAZARD PEOPLE FOR A GROUP. There's safety in numbers, even if I attend a generally more highly-populated 'con. I'd definately prefer at least one outside-of-family person for ego purposes, even though for image it wouldn't matter.
2) BE MORE DISTINCT. At least Bugrom medals, or if I have time and am crazy, I build the OAV2 Bug suit. (No mistaking me then, you either know, or you don't!)
At least then I shouldn't feel lonely and could hopefully have at least a little more fun, even if the con itself is rather poor.
Oh, and they probably only have one good picture of me, and even then I can't promise you it'll turn out well, but I dunno yet.
-
*crying* I DIDN'T GET TO GO TO PITTSBURGH!!!! Oh well, I'll just plan a little more into the future next time, and make sure I know what date it is...
And I miss Lar. :-/
-
Well, like I said, it wasn't really worth the time. Although I imagine I would've been much better off at least having you around.
And you and Lar need to relax; it's not like you're ever "apart" *cough* more than a day's time...
-

Wow. There are Miz mangas? Demand! :b
Seriously though, it sucks that it sucked.
-
I'm sorry you guys didn't enjoy the con. If I had gone, I would have been something like Alielle or Shayla, maybe even Fatora (I have the right hair colour). But I'm sure if you go to one of the big major state cons then it'll be much better. :D

I still needec to be there. Down here, I get my day's excitement from watching dandelions grow. :P

I can't help it! It's really exciting when she gets on!
Hey, she's on now! YAY!

What can I say, a three-letter word that ends in "iz". I have a habit going with a different keystroke. ;p
