Mar 6, 2014

    1. Congrats to CelestialSnow for being able to make their first Acen! ><

      I'd love to see everybody's dolls so let's hope we indeed run into each other XD
      I'll be at as many meets as I can make as I'll be at Acen all three days :3

      I'll also try and make the Thursday meet too. Who else thinks they'll be able to make it?
      And sorry purplevix that I don't have a pair of jointed hands. :( I saw someone with a
      pair last year so let's hope they come back with them :D
       
    2. The organizer of the official panel has posted over on Acen's forums about the bad time... I copied over the information on the planned meets from the first post here. :)
       
    3. @vicemage: Ah thanks, that was helpful! :) I'm sure they're going to need the info,
      because I assume virtually no one will show for the 2:00 am meet > <
       
    4. I'm right now bringing my Yosd Linn but am still debating on the rest. I'm thinking of bringing my SQlab girl too. I'm considering my msds but usually when I bring one...one become two...or three...or even all four. XD
       
    5. I will be there in spirit~
      I have to work and my boyfriend never told me if we were going or not until it was to late for me to request off...
      I was there last year~ I had Appini Soom girl and Island doll Emily.
       
    6. Any other Dollfie Dream owners going? I can't decide if I want to carry just Rise or just Momo or both. Probably not bringing my Volks Rose.
       
    7. AnnoDomini, it has sounded like a few people might try for it. I'll see how I feel at the time, if I want to drag myself down or not. :)

      Biff, I'd love to see your SQLabs girl! They're so cute, but I haven't seen one in person!

      Tehkiwi106, oh no, that stinks. :( Hopefully you can make it next year and the official meet will be at a good time again!
       
    8. Im going to bring my dolls in a wheely suitcase, so I don't want too have to carry it the whole time, not sure when I'll have time to leave it in the car. @.@ I have an angel of dream Qing, and fantasy doll Amber and resin soul Pi.

      Squee! This will be my first time meeting other doll owners whom I'm not related to! I was actually wanted to try and plan a meet over the summer at my library, so I could finally meet some doll lovers in my area. I could give everyone who went free doll MSD stand and maybe even a craft. Hopefully I can get some feedback on it at acen!
       
    9. I will be attending as many meets as possible! I'm bringing three of my girls: Belle, Momo, and an Unoa Lusis. I hope to see everyone there :)
       
    10. I may just bring my little Ada doll. Without overwhelming myself, I have no way of getting my dolls to the convention--and safely. So, I'll just pack up my little doll since she can be placed in my purse. :)
       
    11. Thank you deineHasi and AnnoDomini for the warm welcomes! And catw07 count me in as one being excited about eyes and wigs. I'm definitely on the hunt for some eyes for a few of my crew and a few need new wigs as well. ^^'; I'm hoping to do some dollie shopping at Acen this year and will also have things for sale/trade at the meets I can attend.

      I *think* I've decided on bringing my grey Narin, one or both of my MNF, and my Volks YoSD. I should probably start packing them up tonight and see who ends up in the carrying case. xD
       
    12. It'll be Ladies' Night for me. The only ones staying home are Wheatley and Eustace. I've already got everyone dressed and ready to go, though. My Rosette, my Luts/Nobility hybrid, and a couple of OT Hujoos. 8D

      CelestialSnow I'd love to see your DDs! I've been bitten hard by Mariko and Kos-Mos but they're all fantastic.
       
    13. I'm going to try to make it to the meet in the Hyatt tonight!
       
    14. Sadly I can't make it anymore, I really wanted to. I have to much to do on my costume. The first meet I'll be able to go to is Friday night. In still super pumped to meet all of you though!
       
    15. I won't be able to make it tonight (Thursday) or tomorrow's noon meetup because I'm modeling in the indie designer fashion show. But I'll be there on Friday night and Saturday's noon meetup!
       
    16. Yeah, I won't be there tonight, but I'll catch all the others I can. I haven't gone through and analyzed the schedule yet.
       
    17. Well looks like a lot of us couldn't make it today :(
      I didn't want to inconvenience my sister, who'll be the
      one driving so I opted out too :/ Though I will be able
      to make it tomorrow for both hopefully :)
      I'll be bring my Crobi boy :)
       
    18. Ok I'm pretty sure I checked every possibility. Some define DES Food Court. Expoteria? One of the side snack bars?
       
    19. this is a really late reply, but where is the hyatt lower done for the 6pm meet?
       
    20. Here it is! Sadly I won't make this one either. I have to wait for my sister to get off of work. I'm so sad, I'll have my dollies for tomorrow though!!!

    21. Anyone still officially going to the 2am?
       
    22. I'll be attending Sat with my MSD girl Daryl & with Dove_Heart. It'll be our first doll get together. Still new at this. So excited!! :)

    23. I've heard some people are planning to go to the meetup in the pjs and make a pj-party out of it. I won't make it because it's just too late for me.
       
    24. I hope some people did make it! One of my coworkers gave me a cold, so I decided when my alarm sounded to sleep instead of go down for the meet (which means I'm feeling better today at least). Hoping I can make the meet tomorrow, but I realized yesterday there's more than one DES foodcourt... ^^;;

    25. I'm going to say we should do the one by Registration. It's a ghost town. That's where I'll be.

      Edit:Here now! Attack on Titan Training Corps jacket, Resinsoul bag and orange backpack
       
    26. I was happy I got to attend at least one meetup. Had a great time this year meeting everyone!
       
    27. Me too! Super happy to finally meet other doll owners!!

    28. I ended up spending the last of my time in the dealers room and only made it to sat's meet with my bf's(correction: fiancee) Mirodoll Wind. I didn't get any names from anyone though but I really enjoyed hanging out. :3
       
    29. I had so much fun seeing everyone who stopped by our tables in artist alley - thank you!

      I believe I may have added a few new dolls to my wish list this weekend. >.> So many gorgeous dolls... I wish I had been able to get pictures of them all!
       
    30. Sadly I only made it briefly to the Saturday evening meet, but I loved seeing all the fantastic dolls there! Hopefully next year I can get to more of them!

    31. Yes, I second this!!!! Sunday there were all these tables/ chairs set up and no one at them!!! Next year, anyone working the dealers room or artist alley needs to let us know on the Thursday before ACEN if these tables are set up again. It would make an excellent Sunday meet up and the tables looked clean too since there is no food sales in that area!!!

      :)
       
    32. I made it to two meets in total, one on Friday @noon in the DES food court( we were next to the vendors and AA)
      And then I stayed briefly for the Saturday meet @7pm. I did see KeiCai_Ayan there! You are super nice and thanks
      again for the stuff ^^

      I was the girl with the Switch boy if anyone saw me! I'm sorry if I wasn't able to get to you, and that I had to leave
      early. My sister was driving so I had to be considerate of her time >< I really had fun and I hope I can make some
      of the Chi-town meet ups~
       
    33. My Fiancee and I made it to all of the meetups minus the one at 6pm on Friday and the one on Sunday. It was great meeting everyone and Psylis and I really had a blast. Thanks so much to the 2 people at the 2am meetup. Sorry I never got your names but the outfit, eyes and wig are perfect. ^_^
       
    34. I made it to the Friday night meetup, the official 2am meetup, both of the Saturday meetups, and the Sunday meetup. It was great meeting everyone, and I'm super happy with the doll I bought and all of the new clothes :)
       
    35. I had a really great time at the doll meets! I met so many nice people and it was the highlight of my weekend! So many cute Yo SDs and Azone dolls...ugh I need them!!!
       
    36. I went Sat. night with my cousin for our first meet ever, and everyone was super nice!! She sold stuff & made friends, while I chatted with a few other doll enthusiasts.

      Overall, great experience for a first time doll meet! Looking forward to more in the future-where hopefully-I'll be less shy. :)

    37. I made it to a couple, though the last one wasn't very lively... still cool to see all the dolls.
       
    38. So I know this is a little late for posting, but did any of you have the mint green SD size girl at the Resin Melody tables in artist alley? I absolutely love her face sculpt, but I cannot remember the company/sculpt. And I did not get a picture. :(
       
    39. I feel badly that I missed out this year I used to try to go fairly often but lately I have just not had the time or money.
       
    40. Im so sorry I've forgotten your name. But who was the person who sold Angel of Dream dolls at the last meet? I didn't know if you were still selling them. But there is one that I was looking at- So I wanted to know if it would be beneficial to you to order through you.
