If this particular timing is bad.. we could all 
just agree to meet somewhere sometime instead?  
Of course.. what would work best for me is early 
on Friday afternoon because the LARP won't have 
started yet. (I GM it and once it starts I am 
usually unable to get away for any amount of time 
at all.. of course I'm already trying to make it 
clear I -will- go to at least on Hikaru 
Midorikawa panel so I might be able to get time 
off for this too.)  
hmm..It just occured to me while early friday is 
great for myself but I guess not only will some 
people not be there, but this also might get in 
the way of staking out places in the line for the 
dealers room, which is rather important to this 
competitive hobby... hmm....

At any rate, my point is if we're all just 
interested in getting together, meeting 
eachother, and seeing eachother's cels.. nobody 
says it has to be done in a panel room.  The BCC 
is huge and there are plenty of semi-out of the 
way places that could accomodate 20 or so people.

So.. does anyone else have a suggestion for a 
time? Even if I can't make it, drop by the LARP 
room and look around (and nearby) for the girl in 
the staff shirt wearing a LARP badge.

(PS LARP = Live Action Role Playing for those who 
don't know)
