How is Connecticon? I live an hour away from it...x.x I recently moved here too, so I've never been there before. Is it fun? heart

Yeah! It's a lot of fun. My husband and I have been going since it's first year, back when it was on the UHart campus. Boy, talk about old times...LOL

Now I just need to find the right shirt in my size... and then I can move on to exploring eyebrow/moustache options for the costume.

Oh, don't mind me, I'm just gearing up to cosplay the BEST MUPPET EVER. Nothing to see here. Bork bork bork.

Connecticon is fun.

Hmm...

Connecticon is fun.

Yep. Hopefully as the time draws nearer more people will show up in the thread. There's quite a few Gaians who go every year, although I don't think Gaia will be there this year. crying

Gaia has seemingly forgotten most of the Con's in New England it seems.

Possibly. It could also be an issue of financial matters. Can't be cheap to send DJ Helsing all over the country.

[Animefreaka]

Yes but not even doing a Gaia meetup. I know at AB we had a Gaian Artist there.

AB is a much bigger convention than Connecticon. That also might be part of the reason.

I work at ConnectiCon with the volunteer operations department. I always enjoy seeing the gaia panel come down to our convention every summer ^_^. This year while I'm patrolling making sure everyone is having a fun time and sending my volunteers to areas where help is needed I'll be going as Cye from Ronin Warriors. If you guys spot me come up and say hello wink

[Animefreaka]

Ok if I go. Not sure if I will.

I'll be attending this year as it will be my 3rd annual ConnectiCon. I plan on making an appearance at the panels this year, if I'm not busy with any of the main event stuff or if they overlap each other. Also I was thinking that after one of the panels, to any gaians interested we meet up after the panel, hit up a restaurant and chat with one another. Sharing memories and goals over a good meal and make new friends.

We've tried to arrange meet ups at past Connecticons, but they inevitably fell apart. We might be able to pull it off if someone wants to reserve a panel room and time slot for a Gaia meet up, though.

Nice Rogue avi Luna.
Yeah meetups are hard, unless specific.
