Well that's just strange. I hope that that doesn't happen to anyone at Kin-Yoobi!

None that I know of. The Kin-Yoobi Con forums are unfortunately pretty barren, but you can feel free to make a topic there.
http://www.gzronline.com/forum/index...3&boa rd=17.0

Otherwise. This thread can be used for discussion of that as well.

Okay, got it. I didn't see a link or URL address. Now, I made the reservation, and there IS a $50 (Refundable) deposit that the clerk had to find out about. So, now you are warned. Another thing, they said it was only one deposit, but make preparations for $50 a day...

It's there, it's just in an odd place, under "Registration". I think it should also be listed under "Hotel/Location", I'll see if I can get it put there.

Yeah, the $50 deposit is most likely per-day, like it is at the San Jose Hilton. The first time I stayed at the San Jose Hilton, I was also told that it was $50 deposit for the full weekend, but then I ended up being charged per-day, so I also recommend that people prepare for that.

I know I already replied to this, but I remembered that there is an official facebook event for the convention that might be useful in finding a roomate.

Boy, I wish I had read the fliers more carefully..... I thought Newart was down by LA...

Well, no table available right now, but I will be bringing my stuff, JIC, and getting my two bots ready for a skit for the masquerade...

Unfortunately, sometimes we have people not show up for tables, so if you see an empty one during the day, you can always ask staff about it.

Ooh, you're gonna compete in the masquerade! I bet it's gonna be awesome!

There was a skit I was going to do at DAICon, which I am thinking of modifying a bit. Just have to check if the song I want to do will be alright. Its kind of PG13, depending on how you look at it.

As long as there are no swear words, it should be okay.

Its suggestive, but its very double meaning, meaning it sounds clean, but if you really delve in, it is suggestive... But I will pass it by the masquerade coordinator, first..

Oh, and I see that Lord Zed is going to be a guest. I did some parody redubs with my friends, a while ago, and we did Lum in Shkesperian verse (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CES1Z...feature=relmfu) and a POWER RANGERS first season,one hour episode where the Green Ranger gets his powers back. Where the Japanese characters are the voices of an old tv show called H.R. Puff-n-stuff. (Video not up, but here is the opener from 1971 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obxfuFrUTzg )

It should be fine then. It's a family-friendly event, but as long as it's not blatantly sexual, it's fine.

And yes, we're very happy to have Lord Zedd with us again this year!
