If this comes to pass, I am so going to LA

DoA thread

The logistics of this is just mind numbing. Not only do you need to rent space and rent a plane, but you need to find someplace for those dealers to stay and a way for them to get to said convention hall, since LA is not known for its public transportation.

I don't even want to think about what is going to happen when US people discover the joys of waiting on line for 3-4 hours in the hot sun before something like this even starts.

It'll be interesting to see what happens.

This so means I am prob not going to Dollectable. lol So since you were there, does 2 day event==NY store, or is this another FDQ thing? I so know with my luck it will be when I am in Japan, though considering how crappy my bingo card was, I have about the same chance of winning a Sei-Tenshi in Japan. :P

At least it looks like we will definitely get to finally meet. :P I wonder which dealers they will get, some are really talented and I would love to have come out. I also wonder if they will charge more than the $ to yen ratio and how the language barrier will work. ^^; So so so so so many questions...

They didn't mention FDQ, so I'm not sure. I'm also not sure if this Dolpa thing is supposed to be in Fall or Summer. ^^; I wasn't paying attention. ^^;;

No matter what, I'm definitely going to both. XD

I will definitely go to the NY thing, cause umm I live near NY. lol

The Dolpa thing I sort of want to wait a little more on. The more I think about it, the more getting 500 dealers from Japan seems a little o_O

I mean even if you have an event in a hotel, and most of the dealers are staying in said hotel, 500 booths is an awful lot. Doll Show is only about 350 and it takes up 3+ floors now.

Plus umm a lot of Japanese dealer have umm actual jobs. I sort of have to wonder if there wasn't a bit of grand talking in this 500 dealers part of it.

I'm not sure where the 500 dealers is coming from, because I'm 99.9% sure I heard them say 500 fans, with dealers being amongst them.

People in that thread are kind of jumping the gun there. ¬_¬

OK cause that makes a lot lot lot more sense. I had said that earlier but it got deleted. ~.~

I still think I would like to go ideally, it would be interesting to see what it is like.

So when are you going to come out East, is a 2 day event with face-up classes enough to tempt you?

I sort of wonder if it hasn't sort of become a bit like telephone, where people remember what they want to hear.

I do admit a lot of reservations, but a part of me wants to go. And of course I do want to meet you. :P
