It's finally happened. MomoCon has outgrown its humble beginnings as a free convention put on by the Georgia Tech anime club, Anime O-tekku, and this year will be moving to the Marriott Hotel downtown. Because of the change of venue, for the first time they will be charging - $25 for the weekend if you pre-register, $30 at the door.
I don't begrudge them this. In fact, I think it's kinda cool.* Not only will there be more space for dealers, but panels and video showings will no longer be in classrooms, you won't have to walk between buildings (often in the rain) to get anywhere, and you can get to the Peachtree Food Court. Plus, I hear there's a rave this year. <-------so going!
Okay, so now that you know about the changes, here's what I really want to know! Who's going? More importantly, who would be interested in splitting a room with me? The Marriott is doing a deal: $140 and a free pass per night. That's on singles AND doubles, so theoretically we could be stuffing 4 or 6 people in a room. Six people for 2 nights is less than $50 per person... just FYI.
I know a lot of people are monetarily challenged, but I just thought I'd throw this out there!
*This is essentially the same venue as DragonCon, so it's really easy to get to from campus via MARTA!
