tohma2004 | Tohmacon/Ichibancon

Okay, so Ichiban-Con is a convention in Charlotte on January 8-10th. First year convention. Not a whole lot of information on it, but the hotel is expensive. I was thinking about going down for maybe just Saturday just to check it out. Who all is thinking of going?

Reason I am wondering is Tohma-con was tentatively planned for that first weekend, January 1-3..until I realized it would be New Years Day..and I wasn't sure if people would be discouraged by that.

So here was my thought (Since so many were interested in going to Tohma-con).

What if we do it January 8-10th..and go to Ichiban Con on that Saturday as a group. Registration is cheep. $20 at the door for Saturday I believe. We could go, check out the con, have some fun, and still be able to do all the party stuff we planned for Tohma-con. And we wouldn't have to worry about anyone not being able to make it because of family obligations on the New Years holiday.

Please let me know your thoughts. Which is better for everyone? First weekend in Jan? Or second weekend in Jan? I also think New Years Day will be kind of rough for retail people to get off of work. Sometimes those are sale days.

Discuss!
