Why would anyone move there ;___; I've lived there for 19 years and I'm glad to not be there anymore >.> I never seem to look forward to going back to visit my mom and brother every few months xD

But it'd be awesome if you could make it to metro :3 Have you been in previous years?

EDIT- if you do move there.. I highly recommend Mr. Robotos Tokyo Grill.. One is on Tennessee Street by FSU and the other one is located on West Pensacola St. [Still by FSU] I go there every time I'm in town. If you need anymore tips of things to do in the area, let me know.

lol, well, the Florida Highway Patrol is offering him a free ride in the school so long as he passes his physical on the 20th [in a few days] so we'd be moving up for about a year while he does his police academy training.

As or previous years, no, I havent gone. Either I was busy or I had no one to go with in the past. But it looks like I'll probably attend this year since I'll more than likely be in the area =3

[Meenah]

There's a huge chance that I'll be going, plus I'll have a reunion with my best friend since the 3rd grade. Best of all, I live at least 45 minutes away from Tampa. ^_^ I do hope to meet AFers there, it'll be fun.

[blueangel06661]

I lied, I got suckered into being a staff living in darkness again.. And I was so set on actually being able to just cosplay and attend this year. So yeah you guys need to come to metrocon and visit me. As I am on staff theres no way to get around not seeing me ^-^ I help run main events so it's nearly impossible to not pass me :/

[RaverMelody]

Im going i have a room and everything I cant wait to go i hope to meet up with some of you guys
