@poncholo

 

[Che]

I entered the contest. Fingers crossed I can see the GoT panel this year. Thanks @mllNY

 

[mllNY]

hotel sale was today, it was insane!

 

[will519]

I submitted mine at 12:02. Hope to hear soon.

 

[mllNY]

@will519 I have a screen shot that says 12:01 so I know I was withing 90 seconds that said on peak is saying it doesn't matter what time you submitted but what number you had in line.

though there is so much info going around who knows I know my roomie @poncholo had a very good a number

 

[mllNY]

 

[will519]

@mllNY Agreed, theres mix info going around. OnPeak and CCI did a bad job communicating this. We'll see what we get in a couple of days.

 

[mllNY]

@will519 got Bayfront so far, waiting to hear what Jack gets

 

[will519]

@mllNY Got the Omni YAY!! Bayfront was my second choice. Had some good times there. One year all the Batmobiles were parked right outside. I met Ray Park in the lobby and my friends hung out with Elijah Wood in the lobby.

 

[mllNY]

I have Bayfront but I can get an Omni if I need it. Going to talk to the roomy tonight to see what he wants to do

 

[mllNY]

@will519

SO spoke to the roomies and @poncholo wants the omni and what @poncholo wants @poncholo gets. I take care of these details

 

[will519]

@mllNY Haha nice. I do find it much more convenient to go out to eat afterwards staying at the Omni rather than Bayfront or MMM. Already put my deposit down.

 

[mllNY]

@will519 I was just thinking the convenience of walking exclusives back and the lines are closer, at the end of the night i'm not carrying stuff but again what the roomie wants the roomie gets

 

[Farhat Ahmad]

Going for my 10th year this year

 

[mllNY]

@Farhat Ahmad what hotel are you at? what do you like to do at the con, exclusives, panels, show floor, autographing, off sites?

 

[Farhat Ahmad]

I'm' at the Marriott gas lamp. Not really into exclusive, I usually get the play arts Kai, I haven' t done panels in years. I love the play arts booth, I have a lot of friends at sideshow so I hang out there a lot. Usually just hang with pros I know. Always have to check out naked fat rave for art. How about you?

 

[Farhat Ahmad]

Off site i alwas go train at black house team Nogueria. I Train at American top team Atlanta, and my coach Jucao came up with the Nogueria brothers so I'm' pretty tight with the crew there;

 

[mllNY]

For me it is a bit of everything except parties. I do panels, show floor, exclusives, and offsites.

I'm a regular Jack of all Trades

 

[Farhat Ahmad]

I go to one party every year. Honestly the panels kill me, especially when people ask questions. It's always inane, or some type of self promotion. I guess I'm a SDCC creature of habit since I've been going for so long at this point, I just stick to what I like. I mostly go just to hang out with friends.
