I'd offer people rides from the airport, if they happen to be arriving when I'm heading up to Baltimore on Thursday for prereg stuff. But then again... My car's rather small.

Heh. Well, if he feels left out from the experience of the light rail system, I'm sure he'll take it instead. He gets a ride because he's splitting a room with me. Though I might have room for another editor or so in Hotaru, assuming they don't have a massive amount of stuff (well, OK, much of any stuff....).

I know, don't worry, I'm just teasing ya! The light rail is quite fine and goes a block away from the holtel anyway

Alright cool! I was talking to Meri/Mike also and I was unsure if you were giving me a ride (they offered as well).

I guess I'll go buy my plane ticket then. Unfortunately, it'll be arriving ~8:00 - 8:30 which is around pre-reg time, but I *hope* the airport is close and if we're in line prior to them closing...we can get our badges.

/me crosses fingers.

Sorry for coming so late, but...I gotta come into work for half-a-day so I don't use another vacation day (beating the system

).

It's from all those fangirls

. Given. Ashyukun is not a fangirl, but I figured I'd say that since you give me crap about it

Ditto on that. I'd offer shuttle service, but the mafia might want their car back so I can't park it outside for very long...

I suppose you could be refering to people who are outgoing enough to attempt to meet a bunch of online personalities in person at Otakon.

No, I am being very direct: people who have a huge fame and following among AMV watchers. If you have some personal problem dealing with your own fame, that's not my fault. You created it.

But in that case, it's easy enough for you to show up and develop such a personality.

Yyyyes, because as we all know, one wins contests and gains worldwide recognizability because of showing up at one con without a video.

Look guys, if you're going to mock me, at least have some creativity. You know I have a point, or you'd be able to disprove it, now, wouldn't you. I guess you just have some kind of mental block against the fact that your videos are fucking huge.

Trust me, that kind of false modesty is annoying. But enjoy your meet 'n greets with the plebes and autograph signings and whatever else, guys. I'll be in the commoners' thread and won't bother you from now on. Okay? 8)

Paizuri is pretty well known and he's never made an AMV in his life

Anou...sumimasen kedo... this just sounds like self pity to me.

Just because there are people around you who have won AMV awards and you haven't doesn't mean you are unworthy of being in their presence. Just hush up, make some friends, and stop diverting this topic away from its original intent. Ok?

Yyyyyep. I don't think Rinny's ever won anything, hell, she's the first AMV Weakest Link ever! (AnimeUSA. Ya'll shoulda been there) but that doesn't mean she doesn't chill with us and talk to everyone online! We're all one big happy family! Come on! Group hug!

It's true. I didn't know who Phade was.
