>You Preregistered?
Yes! Residual fomo from last year got me good
>did you manage to get a hotel? Just a yes or no would suffice
local
>How’s your AX fund jar doing so far and what’s your budget?
This will likely be my last AX indefinitely since badge prices are getting so high and I'm planning a trip to the motherland next year, so I'm going limitless. Since I'm local and plan to eat cheap, that'll probably be $300-500. I don't shop in Vendor's hall much and especially stay away from figures unless it's actually a good deal, so that's pure artist alley spending.
>You got your work PTO approved?
This will be my first year not working over the summer, so I don't even have to ask for it. I'm so stoked.
>Any setbacks so far until the con?
I wanted to make a cosplay, but my stupid job keeps me so busy and exhausted 24/7 that I don't feel like I'll have time to and I don't want to shit one out. I also feel a little self-conscious about showing up in cosplay alone, but am imagining I'll get fomo if I don't. I bought all of the materials for one character, but the shoes are impractical so I can't decide if I want to go through with it -- especially since I might be a little lonely sitting around alone. I could buy one, but I did already spend money on materials for the unfinished costume. Idk, I'm being neurotic about this, but I can't make a decision. Help me, /cgl/.
>Cosplay Day 0/1/2/3 plans?
Another conundrum. I can't figure out which day to potentially cosplay.
>expectations?
Not an expectation but hope that there's a lot of good merch this year that isn't entire booths' worth of Genshin characters like last year.
>what are your dream guests that you are hoping will get announced the week before AX?
Tbh I'm not really a panels or guests person. I have met a few artists at booths, but it's been a chill no-line type deal. I've heard to many horror stories about AX's guest ticket system.
