Are we allowed to take picture of the custom displays? I ask because there wasn't a lot of custom pictures last con. Want to know if I should bother carrying my camera bag with me. Going to start packing tonight. Gotta work the whole day then straight to the airport.

Pictures of custom displays are more than welcomed! Actually, we took a ton of pictures of the custom displays, but it was only a few tables so it might not have seemed like much. You can only bring your camera if you promise to post all your pictures

[ron5864]

Taking Friday off of work so to start packing some of the stuff I'll be bringing. Still deciding if I should bring some more rare Macross items to display or if there is enough room at the Con. Hmmmm....

[Operator7G]

Slightly off topic.

While perusing through all this con business, I came across a video from last year. I sing in an a cappella quintet and we're looking for a vocal percussionist. Does anyone know this guy from last year's con?

PICTORIAL GUIDE TO HOW TO GET TO MWCON

Here's how to get there.

First picture is on the corner of Westwood and Le Conte. This is an enterance to UCLA.

Then you drive straight all the way in.

Do not go to Parking 9. Just go straight.

Go to Parking 6

Then after you get out of parking lot, go through the stairs.

Edited October 8, 2010 by Maiden Japan

[Maiden Japan]

Then you'll see the stairs. Go all the way up on the stairs

When you reached all the way up, across the street to left

You'll see an old brick building on left that windows are sticking out. Then walk through the park.

Turn left

And you're here. Welcome to MWCon 2010!

I believe that person would be Kirik himself in full glory.

[Kicker773]

Thanks maiden those pictures are very helpful.. how far is UCLA from Torrance? Getting ready and packing... bringing more customs that I thought I had planned. lol...

I wonder if Ja'a are still together... I'm sure for the UCLA folks you guys have heard of them right?

[Maiden Japan]

Approximately 45 minutes from Torrance.

Take 405 freeway north, then get off at Wilshire to your right then turn left at Westwood.

Check out the google map.

hahaha.... yea, that was me. A cappella was part of my former glory days at UCLA as a member of the ScatterTones and was the vocal percussionist for the group. Send me a PM and tell me more about your group or email me at MacrossWorldConvention@gmail.com

[MacrossMan]

Soooo so so soooo bummed out that I haven't been able to make the Con yet. You guys have mad fun and connect. Looking forward to pictures and video as always.

[KiriK]

[Kicker773]

Can we get custom name tags? LOL. At the airport eating dinner. The guy at the checkpoint looked at me funny as my bag went through the scan, then he asked, "What are these? Airplanes? LOL wife chuckled and rolled her eyes. I said they are and please be gentle with my bag. Hahahahaha the valks look like car drawings on the screen.

[Maiden Japan]

LOL!! Hopefully your bag and displays gets here safely.

All preregistered attendees will receive a personal name badge w/ lanyard and a program booklet.

Funny. Both you and Operator7G (Norge) were at RT25, but sitting at tables on opposite sides of the room! Norge is coming to MW Con tomorrow so maybe you guys can do a duet?

[Alex5]

oh man.. i totally thought the event was next weekend. i was going to register today. then it was closed. but i'll still be there. may be i'll make my own name badge lol.

Heh. Well, I sing bass so I'm used to harmonizing. If Kirik does his VP magic and we find another singer or two or three, we can probably put together something hot! MW Con 2011?!?!
