New Years Resolutions (Portcon 2012 Edition)
« on: June 27, 2011, 09:00:47 AM »
After Portcon, I've decided there's a few things I NEED to do for next year.  What better place to list them than here, so if I don't follow through, I have all of YOU to answer to!

Pre-Con 

Anime:  I want to make sure I watch a lot more anime during the next year. 
Cosplay:  Damnit, I will Cosplay SOMETHING next year.

At Con

Gaming:  I WILL play some CCG's and some Board games next year.  I never set aside the time and I regret that. 
Run a panel:  Not sure about what, but I REALLY want to run a panel now. 

Anyone else have things they regret not doing?

Pre-Con
Anime: Watch more mainstream stuff. I feel like such a hipster sometimes!
Manga: Buy more and read more. All my money keeps going to doujins!
Cosplay: Bigger and better. I improved a lot last year, let's keep the ball rolling on it!

At Con
Panels: Improve the Yuri Panel and make it more awesome than ever. Also, be very clear that it is a PG-13 event and badges don't need stamps. Also, maybe do a panel about obscure and/or recent anime that people may not have heard of.
Gaming: Play Apples to Apples and/or Cards Against Humanity at least once
Other: Sleep BEFORE the con, so I don't feel dead by ten.

Pre-con;
*Planning to do an EXTRAVAGANT cosplay. Something you would see out of a magazine, so I'm gonna start early!
*Make sure I get my driver's license so mom doesn't have to deal with carpooling my friends everywhere. She's exhausted now  :( (their parents refuse to drive them ANYWHERE. Not even my house which is less than 5-10 minutes away >_> )
*Make sure I invite the right people next year. One person in our group flipped just because she didn't get a plushie and wouldn't stop begging everyone in our group for extra cash  :Glare: 
*Pre-reg of course :D

At the con;
*Don't miss the internet sing-along panel again
*Go cruise Toys-R-Us in costume (and the Mall again! That was fun  :-D )
*Buy something from the artists alley/feature something in the community art sale
*Attend PortProm in formal attire :D
