KiriK Posted July 3, 2010 Author Posted July 3, 2010 so me and Jasonc went around AX passing out flyers for MW Con 10 at the May'N and Megumi concert. Hopefully we can get some of the awesome cosplayers to show up! Quote
Reflex Point Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 Love the shirt series, EXO! J and I will probably place an order for the 3rd one! And hopefully those AX cosplayers will attend MW Con. Never seen so many! There was a decent amount of Frontier cosplay last year, but because of the May'n & Megumi concert, the numbers exploded! Imagine that and Frontier is not available in the U.S.... Thanks HG. Quote
SpacePirateNeko Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 per usual ill be there ...but this time after years of promising it i will have an actual completed macross model to display. I actually busted open a Hasegawa the other day and got the sucker primed and ready! Quote
Gabe Q Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 per usual ill be there ...but this time after years of promising it i will have an actual completed macross model to display. I actually busted open a Hasegawa the other day and got the sucker primed and ready! Yeah, I've been to a few cons myself but never brought any of my models to display. Maybe this'll be the year...

Jasonc Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 There will be a custom contest, and if you guys are feeling gutsy, karaoke. I know the team working for this year have been doing a lot of planning, and it's looking to be one heck of an event. Quote
KiriK Posted July 17, 2010 Author Posted July 17, 2010 (edited) UPDATE 7/16/2010 BREAKING NEWS!!!!

Char350 Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Wow, I just joined the forums and am greeted with such awesome news! Hi my name is Jack. I have been involved in the JAC at UCLA leadership for the last couple of years. I met some of you during last year's MacrossWorld Con and at this past AX as well. I'm glad that UCLA is hosting the event again this year! Quote
Jasonc Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Awesome news, Bee, thanks for the news. We'll get onto adding that to the flyers.

Kicker773 Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Wow. I think I need to go talk to my travel agent. Now the chances of me going is very high. Any nice hotels in the area? Quote
Alex5 Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 whoa, i think i'll have to go here too. need to make sure i'll have that weekend open. Quote
bigkid24 Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Mail-in Art Contest Seems like it was pretty popular last year so it's making a come back. Because it's the 10th annual MW Con, the one rule this year is that the artwork has to feature the number 10 and some variation of "MacrossWorld" somewhere in the art. It can be any medium you choose and depending on how many entries we get we may split them out into different categories. Also, we don't necessarily need the original art. If you prefer we will take a high resolution picture of your piece so that we can show it at the Con. If you have any questions please post or PM me. Quote
UN Spacy Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Thanks for the update. Any other Bay Area folks gonna make the trip down there? I will be getting a hotel close to LAX. Anyone wanna split a room for Saturday and Sunday? Quote
EXO Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 Hey guys, in case anyone is wondering, here's the design for the last fundraiser shirt. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=33471 Quote
Mechwarrior Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 I visit MW on a daily basis (not logged in mostly) and this is the first I heard of this get together, maybe its not to late to join? Buy a shirt? Show my nooby skills on making a model? Quote
Vepariga Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 You guys got Mari Coming!!! JEALOUS! I wish I could come too. maybe oneday our Aussie MW con will be big enough to host such a star. But congrats on getting Mari that will be so awesome!! Quote

Yuki-Nome Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 hello! I'm Yuki~ Passing by to ask a few questions.. I'm from Tijuana, Mexico; and a few friends and my self got a flayer at comic-con about the con.. we want to go.. but we need all the info posible.. as in bage costs, how to get to the venue from the bus station and are there any hotels near? and any other info we may need to get there.. for we don't know LA that well~! thank you in advance!! Quote

The registration is free, and more info should be coming on that soon I think. As for hotels, I'm not too familiar with the hotels that are in the area. There are a couple, but the best way to find those would be to get the zip code of the UCLA campus, and then search hotels via expedia, travelocity, or one of those sites by zip code, and find a hotel/motel within your price range. Most info on the convention is on the first page, in case you didn't get to see that. Hope that helps somewhat. Quote

EXO Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 Hi Yuki. I recently picked up a fellow Macrossworld member that stayed in this hotel when he came up after San Diego Comicon and he said that the rate was decent enough. It's about half an hour from the UCLA campus including a 15 minute walk after the bus drops you off. Here's the address and the number for the hotel DAYS INN SANTA MONICA 3007 Santa Monica Boulevard Santa Monica, CA 90404 (310) 829-6333 and here's the bus route (included is the bus number to take): <iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=3007+Santa+Monica+Boulevard+Santa+Monica,+CA+90404&daddr=UCLA+Ackerman+Loop,+Los+Angeles,+CA&hl=en&geocode=FT5cBwIdTEjw-CnbuZMgRLvCgDFfUUi-sRledA%3BFSzXBwIdIazw-CnXGU0EhrzCgDHtxNpDW8BWPg&mra=ls&dirflg=r&ttype=dep&date=08%2F01%2F10&time=11:18pm&noexp=0&noal=0&sort=&sll=34.052517,-118.457766&sspn=0.056392,0.132093&ie=UTF8&ll=34.052446,-118.458023&spn=0.03269,0.0338&start=0&output=embed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=embed&saddr=3007+Santa+Monica+Boulevard+Santa+Monica,+CA+90404&daddr=UCLA+Ackerman+Loop,+Los+Angeles,+CA&hl=en&geocode=FT5cBwIdTEjw-CnbuZMgRLvCgDFfUUi-sRledA%3BFSzXBwIdIazw-CnXGU0EhrzCgDHtxNpDW8BWPg&mra=ls&dirflg=r&ttype=dep&date=08%2F01%2F10&time=11:18pm&noexp=0&noal=0&sort=&sll=34.052517,-118.457766&sspn=0.056392,0.132093&ie=UTF8&ll=34.052446,-118.458023&spn=0.03269,0.0338&start=0" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small> Give them a call and see how much you can reserve your rooms for this much ahead of time. If it's a agreeable then maybe the rest of the MW'ers from out of town may want to stay there too. Also, staying in Santa Monica, if you get there a couple of days ahead you can take a bus ride the opposite direction check out the Santa Monica Third Street Promenade, where there are plenty of places to eat and hang out or shop.

Roy Focker Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 How Special because I have vacation time I need to spend this year but not sure what I really want to do. Is there an estimated time for the announcement of this "special guest" so I can hold off making other plans till then? Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 Alright Ruski... we have a special guest that we just can't announce yet... i'm still pissed i couldn't party with him this year, next year next year.. Quote
Char350 Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 I believe it's 9 bucks for the whole day. It's now $10. Quote
EXO Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Thanks Jack! are there a lot of people coming to MWCon from out of town? I'd love to see where you're coming from on this map... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=33610 Quote
Ender-DI Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 (edited) I've been lurking here for about 2.5 years, but wanted to chime in to say I can't wait to be there! I met miss Mari at Anime Expo back in 1999. She was a pleasure to talk to and can't wait to see her again. Edited August 16, 2010 by Ender-DI Quote
ae_productions Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) Los Angeles? Man, I had to live on the opposite coast from LA. If I win the lotto between now and then, I'm there. I love the pics from last years convention. I think my favorite was the SDF-1 cake! I told my wife I wanted that cake for my birthday (in a few days) and showed her the picks. She just laughed at me. I think that means no. Ha ha! Edited August 19, 2010 by ae_productions Quote
UN Spacy Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Sup Bay Area crew. Wassup? Don't tell me I'm the only one heading to MWCON. Quote
