Tell me all you skirts, Who went to the panal at AB Sat. last week? I can tell you all, that I sadly, did not make it. Friday wore me out so much Dang those stupid long Pre-Reg and Reg lines! Seriously, some people were stuck in the line for 6-10 hours, which is ridiculous! Anyone meet the Sora who had the badge saying Sora hates lines? I did! Wicked nice person. Oh! I went Sunday and was rather sad to find out that RR beat MSA in the barrel fights. A true sad moment for MSA if I do say so myself.

Didn't make it to the panel (or even know it was going on until I bumped into a lovely lady in a skirt about twenty minutes after), but I met a few skirts over the course of the weekend--not all in blue, tragically.
Is it just me or did the audience cheer more for the skirts than it did for the rangers, despite the lack of winning?
I preregistered and went later in the evening on Thursday so I didn't feel the pain of the lines, but I can imagine it wasn't any fun for those stuck in it.

lucky me. i got to skip the line BECAUSE of the panel. It was so much fun and i have a feeling next year will be better with a few modifications to our panel plans and stuff. and sadly, i had to ditch all my friends to get to the panel. they ended out waitng for around 5 hours. don't worry people, i'll see what i can do about bringing candy again, because i know a lot of people where really happy for it. course me and nakano won't be planning it out for a while, but for the sake of line people, we MIGHT try to get it later in the day next year. Sooo, i havn't found anything on youtube or whatever from the panel just yet. (hopefully next year i'll have a good camera that i won't lose as well) BUT for those of you who herd about the slideshow that we showed during the panel here it is. i finally got my chance to put it on there. youtube.com/watch?v=8lyvVXOaCx4and about the skirts vs rangers thing- i'm hearing quite a bit about them cheating or something. and i think i'm just going to make my own bucket just for the fun of it.

Ada knows about the cheeting. It wasn't just concerning the Rangers though, it was the Alchemist barrel being hidden the entire time, which is where our thing was, that prevented us beating the rangers. Yes, the crowd did cheer louder for the Skirts, than the Rangers, which was part of why Havoc (AKA ME) was so upset and cursed out everyone, not really, but those of you who were there at cosplay chess how who've seen the video know what I mean. I'm sorry to hear that you guys couldn't make it. THis was the entire reason i got on-site Thursday night, because of the line. It wasn't so bad then. I'd really like to either hear from someone who was at the panel or who had taken video to see how I did. I know for myself and Fullflame it was our first panel-hosting experiance. Raaver on the other hand... seems to be an old hat panelist. Anyway. I'm glad you guys enjoyed yourselves. Don't forget to check out the division myspace if this is your home con at www.myspace.com/msa25

Yes, I've heard reports that the Alchemist barrel had been hidden near the secretive stairwell (aka over near the elevators/escalators where NO ONE ever goes) all weekend... or most of the weekend.
Good news for the alchemists, though I don't condone cheeking, I was glad we won, but bad news for the skirts. I can't express enough how disappointed I am in the guilty party, but I plan on getting back to Ada about a rematch when the website gets back up and running for 09.
Oh, you went to the panel, Shiroikami? Any criticisms, constructive or otherwise? Like I said, I'm looking for feedback, knowing I have MASSIVE room for improvement... like I dunno... maybe more structure... lol for future panels and events.
Go ahead, be cruel. Lol I can take it.

As far as the bucket thing goes, i think they should see if they could change the rules somehow so that it doesn't end out hidden again. that really ticked me off cuz it was my idea after all. oh look, i found somebody with a crapload of pics from the con, fma cosplay pics~ darkmythril.deviantart.com/art/AB-Entire-FMA-group-80890761OK WHERE'S RAVER WHEN I NEED HER! i found these awsome cosplay pics and she's in a buncha them: ... and most, if not all, of them are YAOI! (shouhen-ai really, but still in yaoi category) darkmythril.deviantart.com/art/AB-Insert-wedding-march-80887791i think you guys can find the rest from there. it's late and i don't have much time to go through them all and post them here. check 'em out, they awsome.

i couldnt remember my pw. so i could never get on, but i remembered it... it was the same as every other pw i used, but i kept hitting the wrong buttons, like my hand was one key over or summin everytime...
anyway, that was actually only my second panel, but i have done lots of public speaking and things of the like, so maybe thats why. i had fun doing it and hope to help you guys with it next year...if you still want me too....
btw, im not in any of those yaoi pics, i wish i was.... but thats not me. my goal for next year. more yaoing. i might just get my guy friend a military uniform and have him go as hughes or roy, and i go as the other, and do some FMA fanservice....
anyway, speaking of forums, we should get back on topic... ;P (kudos to those who get the joke)
i think for next year, there should be more...MSA stuff, im not sure how though, i feel like we covered all the important stuff... maybe just do more filler MSA stuff...?

of course raver! havn't you checked out the division myspace yet? it says you're in the ranks as well. and here they are: General Nakano-san Colonel Fullflame Lt. Colonel Ravergaara
WHAT!? but that hughes looks just like you T.T *head/desk* i'm gonna go live in a hole till next ab... *hides*... well, maybe take a peek out of that hole for aac course.
I HAD A LOT OF MSA STUFF. but i wasn't in the right place for the mouse for the lappy. we should start listing off some things we could talk about next year. heh, i think the biggest problem we had was all the rambling. tired nakano = rambling with no control.
yay, i have kudos!
I think i have a few ideas of some stuff we could say, maybe i'll type it out over time and stuff and print it all out as back-up or whatever.
yes, like last one, i'm planning for the panel WAY FAR AHEAD, so if anybody can find any new pics of travis or any of his characters, please send them (mostly ones of travis, that's the harder ones to find) don't worry, i got a new song already for next year and everything. also, i'm thinking of maybe even adding a second one this year for the skirts mostely, probobly for the division, so if you have any ideas for that one too, then just send me an e-mail or im me at: Fullflame333@aol.com
Oh look... loins~

OF COURSE we want you to come back with us and help, Raaver ^^ lol even Shippo asked if she could help next year. Since she's a B.G. like me, I figured, why not, especially since she asked SO FAR in advance. About the planning for stuff to say - yeah, I actually had it in my head to make another itinerary that was more comprehensive about stuff, and I ran out of time to do it in (that's the problem with being a busy college student ^^ But yeah, definitely planning on going more in-depth into the stuff for the MSA, if I can... I don't think there was anything we DIDN'T cover about it at the panel... multiple times. lol and its not just that I was tired and rambling, its that I don't get enough oppertunity to speak, because I feel no one ever listens to me outside of stuff like that, so I had a chance to talk and have ppl listen and just went. But having an actual itinerary would cut down on that a bit more. Once we see if we've gotten a slot for the panel next year, I'll DEFINITELY make one up that I will keep with my AB stuffs. Other than that, my only hope would be if we actually got our guests to come this coming year. I had asked Vic, Travis, Mike McFarland and Kevin Conolly if they wanted to sit on the panel should they get invited to the con, they all said yes, but none of them got the invite. .... lol the skirts need to infiltrate staff this year, I think

that would be so awesome doing a panel with travis.
sweet, working on panels. awesome. i have no idea what else we could add, but im sure if i thought about it, i could think of something. we just need to be carefull about how many people help us, beacuse we can comfortable fit 5 people on that mini stage, but if a VA got involved, i have a sneaking suspicion that they'd give us a bigger room...

itinerary? that's basically a list of crap to say right? i was thinking of that and if there isn't any time for you nakano i CERTAINLY will try my best at doing anything. me being a high school student/otaku. no matter what, it's skirt before works (ok yes, i'm tired and i just thoughta that)
so if anything needs to be done i'll be MORE than happy to take charge. I'm planning possibly 2 slideshows next year. one for travis, and one more for the division. so actually if any skirts from the division go to aac or any of the other meet-ups that i knw are planned over the year and stuffs, look for me, cuz i plan on taking pics if i can get my hand on a camera ever again. (after loosing my dad's cammy though, it'll be rare)
speaking of said slideshows: if anybody has their own pics of travis or some good pics of his characters PLEASE e-mail them to me or something. this goes same for pics of fellow skirts and stuff. ESPECIALLY STUFF FROM THE PANEL! even pre-panel and stuff. also, sense i'm basing it probobly around 50% around nakano, myself, and raver, any pics of us will be lovded yes spelled on purpose that way) my e-mail- Fullflame333@aol.com and pics of skirts WITH travis will most likely be put in the one for the division. (2 slideshows are mostley because i have some REALLY good songs that i wanna use)
i think next year we should plan on ACTUALLY getting a pic of the entire division if possible, cuz thats why we had so much extra time really. next year i think the line: "speaking of _____ lets rehearse our panel" might actually help a little.
so PLEASE, i really am willing to do anything i can to help. (maybe even make that banner we where thinking of for a photoshoot >.> <.< >.>)
by the way, all of the above, i'm typing this out at like 10:15pm and i should be asleep by now, so if i seem a little off, blame lack of sleep.

Yes, yes. See, my whole issue with that this year was I didn't want to burden anyone with things that I should have had time for,
THis coming year, however, will be an ENTIRELY different matter. I plan to use the two of you to full advantage. ^_^
Lol... eh crap... i just realized i lost the... >_< poop...
*cough* anyway... You two are now my rescources, though I'm not going to be forcing everything on you, I will be doing alot of the work myself still, because, that comes with the responsibility I was given.
Anway... I'm rambling, I'm tired, it's almost midnight and i need to get up for class in six hours...
