Well, that pretty much nixes any chance of me attending this year.

Yikes! Since I've only flown once, from Indianapolis to Detroit to Providence, that sounds really far. I still want to go, though. Is that going to be a crazy high plane ticket price?

Plane ticket prices have come down a little since oil prices did too. Heck, maybe by then you won't be charged $15 for bags!

Hmm... right in the middle of my old Stomping grounds. Really been wanting a reason to take the Wifey to Cali to show her where I lived. Plus it is the week after her B-day... I might be able to pull this off. It all depends on how my new Job pans out that I just today got notice I got. WOOT!

Also, a good several months before THE WEDDING in September. I was thinking it might be closer, so farther away is good.

An hour and a half flight away from me? Awesome! No scheduling conflict with Anime Expo, which is in July? Double awesome! 'Bout time they got around to the west coast again. ^ ^

Plane tickets will be 1000$+ for me... so it's doubtful I'll attend this year.
But nothing's set in stone yet. --------------------  |

If it ends up being Universe repaints, screw it. If it ends up being Animated or repaints from the original Classics line, HELL YES.
