    2. XD Excited!~ I just posted a meet up in the regular meet ups here on doa for the con too ^^
      So super excited to see everyone again!!

      @bluepita
      Don't forget I'm a panelist too >_~
       
    3. I'm super excited, too! It's always so fun to see all the dolls I've been watching online and meet their owners. :) A-Kon is where I saw my first BJD and years later, where I bought my first BJD.

      You are doing the restringing panel, aren't you? I'm hoping to make it. I'm never quite sure I'm doing it right. :)
       
    4. I'll be there, too. I'm counting down the days!

      @bluepita are you bringing Kat? If so, what day? The twins will never forgive me if I don't let them meet their cousin ;)
       
    5. @ShadowMist I'll definitely be bringing her. She's my favorite convention doll. :) I'll bring her Thursday if you are going to be there then. It's going to be so fun to meet you and your 13s! :)
       
    6. YAY! I will try and bring them then. I had thought to only bring one doll Thursday but then again, it may be one of the least crowded days so bringing 2 or 3 might be better ;). I can't wait! Gotta figure out Dollie outfits!
       
    7. Yep! I'm the restringing panel I'm also offering restringing services at my vendor table. ^^
       
    8. I can't see the fundraiser items. :( But I'll be going, I plan on bringing my DD Asuna since she's light and I've got back problems. Plus then she'll fit in at A-Kon too!
       
    9. Oops, I'll have to let someone know! In the mean time, you can see the Luna and Volks donation on the Doll A-Kon Facebook page. You have to scroll down a bit. Here is a link to Ringdoll's official Lora page : RingDoll .

      It will be nice to meet you! DDs are perfect for conventions. I've been hoping to get some kind of vinyl doll myself. Asuna is such a cute sculpt, too. I believe fusion_midnight is actually hosting a meet there especially for DD, Smart Dolls, AP, and Obitsu. :)
       
    10. I look forward to this every year!

      And yet I waited until now to start getting my dolls ready to go D:
       
    11. I'm really excited for this, i thought I missed it. I Just relocated to Texas so it will be nice to meet some of the dolls and owners.
       
    12. @VampireAngel13 I look forward to seeing your dolls every year! Can't wait to see who you bring this year. "-

      @Olivemully I hope you enjoy your first Doll AKon. :) There are tons of doll owners in this area, though there will be some from all over. If you are in or near the DFW area, feel free to send me a PM. I can give you our group info.
       
    13. XD Pendergast and Catwoman are going this year, that might be the only ones different from last year. Nightwing, if his stuff gets made in time. I will say they have better clothes this year! Last year John's suit showed up the day after I got home XD EDIT: lol I totally forgot I'll be bringing Two-Face also. He's new. If Riddler was done, or even anything other than a head, he'd go too and I'd have all the villains!!

      Are you bringing your Ringdoll girl?
       
    14. I love all your dolls, but I have to say I'll be super excited to see John again. He's one of my favorite dolls!

      I'll definitely be bringing Lora. It's going to be fun to finally have a Ringdoll to bring to their panels.
       
    15. I'm sure they'll love to see you with her! :D you could get her head signed!

      Thanks <3 I love John too, so that makes me happy. He'll be there with all his heads....he goes everywhere these days.
       
    16. XD I look forward to seeing everyone again! and of course anyone I've not meet yet!! XD come stop by my booth an say hi~!
       
    17. I'll be there too! I get on a plane tomorrow. I'll be volunteering and hosting two panels.

      Representing Ningyo BINGO, as always. :3
       
    18. Looking forward to seeing you! The countdown is on. :)
