Hoptimus Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Not at all. My social life sucks. In Benson13's defense if you don't live in Southern Cali its pretty rare to meet other Macross Fans. I am the only Macross fan in Tucson AZ. At least that has been on these boards since 2000... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UN Spacy Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 We used to have a lot more active users in the Bay Area. That number has significantly decreased in the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive stayed in many hostels around Europe, I think one in Cali should do just fine.. especially if its at a decent price...... Leaves more money for Macross Stuff!!!!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapetang Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) We used to have a lot more active users in the Bay Area. That number has significantly decreased in the last few years. We're still here though "real life" is keeping us busy! I suspect there might be more of us now we so can try the mini get-togethers when there's something significant! Hope to see everyone in October! Edited July 30, 2013 by grapetang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swooshiex Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Is there going to be a buy and sell section? It'll be fun and I have Macross stuff to sell. Newcomers and kids might be happy to bring some Macross toys home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechTech Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Looks like I'll be keeping my perfect record of not being able to attend. If there are any fans around the DC area,let me know. There certainly are none I work around. I even have a Valk model on my desk - with lots of questions, and even people calling it a toy (I forgive them for that). But yeah, I know what Benson's talking about. - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconkpd Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Ach- if only I lived out in California or this were closer. I'd be there in a heartbeat. This is probably the only con that would get the VF-X pilot cosplay I'm trying to put together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron5864 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I forgot to put my screen name down during the paypal donation. Oh well, they'll figure it out since my email and screen name are the same. I might donate a few Macross model kits to whoever wants them. Need to free up some space at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cypherxv Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'm going to have to go and check this out. I've been in SoCal all my life and I've never been. I've gone to the shrine and frank an sons just never to a macross only con. What can I expect? I'm looking forward to meeting Mari. Will she be there everyday of the con or certain days?

EXO Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 The con is a one day event... we use to do two, but with the bigger venue this year, we should be able to contain everything in one day. MacrossWorld Con isn't like other cons. It's not big like AX, it's only one line of shows after all. It's not a dealers room like F&S, though we'll have more room for dealers this year. It's more of an intimate type get together. Even though it's gotten way bigger than when we started out, I think this is still how new people describe it... It's part stage show, part toys and model and private collection displays, part contests and game show and one giant meet and greet for macross and other anime fans...
