The Traditional Countdown till NDK 2011 Thread
« on: May 03, 2011, 02:16:22 pm »
Once again, it's time to get ready for NDK for 2011. According to my count, we have 128 days till NDK 2011 as of this first post. I bet you guys are getting excited for this year's NDK as we speak. But please keep a limit to posting on this thread to at least once or twice a week (or at the most, every other week) on how close we are to NDK. The last thing we need is a mod to put a limit on this thread (you guy rock BTW ;)). And with being said, let the countdown begin!!!!

128 days till NDK!!!

Oh my goodness! I haven't really noticed how much time we really have until NDK xD
My friend and I are going to Otakon at the end of July, so I have been kind of absorbed by that o. o But wow.
Cosplay eats my soul xD

I really wish that there was a Like button that was thrown in with the redo of the forums, because I just need one right here.  XD  Isn't that the truth???  We all panic about cosplay progress in this thread XD

1. How long have you been attending? This September will be my fifth year.
   
2. What are some of your favorite things about this convention? I love how comfortable I feel at NDK. Everyone is really friendly and for how large our attendance numbers get, I always feel like I'm at a way smaller convention. There are always some wonderful cosplays and it is very easy and stress free to find someone to chat with. :D

3. What are some things you'd recommend for a newcomer? As with any anime convention, be prepared for the unknown and have a very open mind about the atmosphere. Worry about having fun, and keeping safe. If you miss something you wanted to buy or do, there's always next year, so don't panic. Don't worry about asking for help either here on the website, or at the convention itself.

4. (For those who remember 1985) If you've were at NDK in any of the previous two years, what was it like being at an anime convention on the anniversary of one of the greatest moments in sports, September 11th, 1985? It was on that date when Pete Rose broke baseball's all-time hit record.   I honestly don't pay much mind to sports.


5. Who are some of your favorite guests you've met? I have met Mr. Vic Mignogna twice. He is a wonderful guy and it is great to shat with him whenever I go to get something signed. Something I am looking really forward to this year.

6. Which guests are you looking forward to meeting this year? See above. xD

7. Who do you plan to cosplay this year? Either Sakura from the Tsubasa Chronicles manga, or something else if I change my mind.


Uhhh....wrong thread lol.

Also, 60 days left till NDK!!!!

OK it HIT ME today, it SLAMED right into me.
That excitement I only get at NDK, that surge of energy and adrenaline that makes people feel like superman; and that longing/ yearning.

It’s no longer far away; it’s close but not close enough. My inner child is reaching out; it wants something more than anything else in the world. A favorite toy (NDK). It’s their right in front of me; but its high up on the top shelf. I stand on my tip toes and stretch my arms out as far as I can; it’s right at the tips of my fingers: I can feel it! (The tips of my fingers barely bush against my favorite action figure), but I can’t yet grasp my Superman action figure (My hero). I can’t reach; I’m not tall enough, not yet anyway. A week, no wait maybe four weeks; YES! I’m positive by then I’ll be tall enough, I’ll be able to reach up and grasp Superman.

 :-\ K I’m done expressing my excitement, for the approaching NDK, by being Creepy Poetically Expressive.
