Hey anyone in college and lives around Boston[color:blue][/color] area or on north/south shore

momoney781 · Post by **momoney781** » Mon Mar 28, 2011 7:44 pm

I go to Umass Boston and live in Quincy

suiaerl · Post by **suiaerl** » Mon Mar 28, 2011 9:12 pm

I got to Northeastern....and well live on campus (basically like 4 minutes away from the con center).

Tadas · Post by **Tadas** » Mon Mar 28, 2011 10:41 pm

Ah good 'ol Northeastern, my old stomping grounds... I want back in...

suiaerl · Post by **suiaerl** » Tue Mar 29, 2011 12:56 am

Haha - I will probably say that after....but for now I really just want out...far far too much homework devouring all my free time =\.

I went to college in Milton and my first AB was during my college days (didn't need a hotel back then).

I'm from Boston University!

Cool, Yeah I'm on a campus where I'm pretty much the only anime person lol. I wanna meet other college people lol.
Lucky, so since you at Northeastern you prob don't even need to get a hotel room.

momoney781 · Post by **momoney781** » Tue Mar 29, 2011 3:52 pm

I agree. theres no anime people at my school. Not that I know of anyway

BlueEyedAlchemist · Post by **BlueEyedAlchemist** » Tue Mar 29, 2011 4:22 pm

Your right down the street from the hynes pretty much. What's your major?

Tadas · Post by **Tadas** » Tue Mar 29, 2011 8:56 pm

Yea, it was the same for me when I went to Northeastern, too much homework. That's what I get for majoring in engineering... o well.

suiaerl · Post by **suiaerl** » Tue Mar 29, 2011 10:31 pm

Hah, sorry for the vanishing act ><!

Ya, I live right on huntington avenue too. I generally don't get a hotel but a bunch of friends asked me to stay with them at the Midtown so I'm actually....uh going like 3 minutes down the street and staying in a hotel! It'll be...exciting?

Yea...I know too few anime fans that live in Boston

, and even few college ones.

I'm a Computer Science major, and actually am graduating the weekend after AB (hoping to get a job doing mobile software dev).

Yours?

BlueEyedAlchemist · Post by **BlueEyedAlchemist** » Tue Mar 29, 2011 11:09 pm

lol don't worry about it.

That's cool, I wish I went to school closer to Boston. I live like 10 minutes away and now I'm about 40 minutes away in Beverly for school. I know no college anime people it's kinda dull or people in the Boston area.

I'm a Communication Major & concentrated in Digital Film. I'm finishing up my freshman year now so I have 3 more years. That's cool.

I live off campus in Allston, but it only takes 15 minutes by bus to the Hynes. I'm double-majoring in Chinese Language/Lit and Psychology.

BlueEyedAlchemist · Post by **BlueEyedAlchemist** » Wed Mar 30, 2011 9:54 am

Oh that's not to bad. I'm majoring in Communication concentrated in Digital Film.
That's a pretty cool double major lol. What year are you?

suiaerl · Post by **suiaerl** » Wed Mar 30, 2011 1:43 pm

Yeah, most of the anime / gamers I know I have to take the commuter rail out to visit it kind of sucks :\.

BlueEyedAlchemist · Post by **BlueEyedAlchemist** » Wed Mar 30, 2011 1:59 pm

Yeah the commuter rail is a pain sometimes. My college is right down the street from one of the stops so it is convenient.
The few anime friends I have are all at colleges that are an hour+ away.

suiaerl · Post by **suiaerl** » Thu Mar 31, 2011 2:47 am

Not to mention public transit isnt' terrible in boston but it all stops running WAY too early....and stupidly enough on weekends it shuts down EARLIER not later...I'm still trying to piece that logic together -.-.

Tadas · Post by **Tadas** » Thu Mar 31, 2011 10:36 am

There's no logic to the Boston transit system. It all makes sense until you ride the green line once: oh lets put service to 2/3 of the city ALL on one line, AND lets put it on the slower street rails... hmmmm....

BlueEyedAlchemist · Post by **BlueEyedAlchemist** » Thu Mar 31, 2011 12:36 pm

Yea I've been trying to figure that out forever lol. Although the night of new years eve it went until like 2:00am.
To get to AB this year I have to take commuter rail and the green line. I usually just drive which I think is easier lol.

suiaerl · Post by **suiaerl** » Thu Mar 31, 2011 12:40 pm

Lol.....The green line.....is the worst thing known to man uugghh. Let alone the split (and the fact that whatever train you need seems to never come), the fact that it's ALWAYS full. Not just a little, but like legit sardines all day every day is absurd.

I hate the green line....so much, it sucks that it's the closest line to me.

BlueEyedAlchemist · Post by **BlueEyedAlchemist** » Thu Mar 31, 2011 5:25 pm

I know right it legit is the worst train. I barely ever get a seat. I'm always afraid i'm going to miss my stop cause I can't get out. Also i'm going to have my bag for the whole weekend so I have to lug that with me on the train......It is going to be an adventure just to get to the con lol.

suiaerl · Post by **suiaerl** » Thu Mar 31, 2011 8:30 pm

Favorite thing ever - taking the orange line from roxbury crossing -> mass ave to go to the con in costume.....OH MAN. The poopy people say to you is amazing.

BlueEyedAlchemist · Post by **BlueEyedAlchemist** » Thu Mar 31, 2011 9:40 pm

Really? I have never taken the train in costume before? What do they say?

suiaerl · Post by **suiaerl** » Fri Apr 01, 2011 12:17 pm

LOL. The majority of them swearing and saying how people can dress like that and such. I find it hilarious as they are the last people to say things like that....given how they dress -.-.

Emerson College here, and no I'm not a film major, nor was I apart of the Emerson Lady Gaga lip dub thing :S

BlueEyedAlchemist · Post by **BlueEyedAlchemist** » Mon Apr 04, 2011 12:34 pm

LoL, well not everyone there is filming i thought anyway. I was going to transfer to Emerson, im a film major at Endicott.
What year are you?

Our biggest majors include: Film, Writing Literature & Publishing (aka english), theater, and political communications. I'm a Communication Studies and WLP double major. Class of 2013

BlueEyedAlchemist · Post by **BlueEyedAlchemist** » Mon Apr 04, 2011 3:09 pm

That's pretty cool. Double major is pretty intense lol. I'm just concentrated in digital film but still counts as the main major lol.
Class of 2014

You cosplaying at AB this year?

jellyfox · Post by **jellyfox** » Mon Apr 04, 2011 4:40 pm

Yeah I'll be Sweeney Todd from the film version, not the original play. Also I'll be a character from Baccaano! Not sure who yet. Probably one of the brunets, since I have dark hair and look like any generic teenage anime character. Oh also Harry Potter in his quidditch outfit, if I have time to make it.

BlueEyedAlchemist · Post by **BlueEyedAlchemist** » Mon Apr 04, 2011 11:49 pm

That's quite a list. Some pretty cool ones. Yea alot of anime teens are pretty generic but then you have allen from D.Gray-Man and ichigo from Bleach that break the mold.
I was gonna go as the mad hatter but just not enough time and my roommates would think im wicked weird for making a cosplay in our room.

jellyfox · Post by **jellyfox** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 1:56 pm

Hey you just have to do whatever you want, don't worry about other people making fun of you. But yeah it's quite the list, I'll prob get 2/3 of those done, and give up on the harry potter one I bet. Besides I already have his school uniform that I could use in its place.

BlueEyedAlchemist · Post by **BlueEyedAlchemist** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 7:24 pm

Yea, lol I'm used to it anyway and I'm pretty much the only anime person at my school.
That'd still be cool. Hope to see 'em at AB then. I may just go in my saskue cosplay I have or just have normal clothes on lol.

jellyfox · Post by **jellyfox** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 10:14 pm

I'm assuming you mean from naruto right?

BlueEyedAlchemist · Post by **BlueEyedAlchemist** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 10:23 pm

>.> yea lol but it's a last resort. It's from freshman year of high school or its Rangiku from Bleach.

jellyfox · Post by **jellyfox** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 11:10 pm

That's a pretty drastic alternative lol But if you can pull both off, do it!

BlueEyedAlchemist · Post by **BlueEyedAlchemist** » Wed Apr 06, 2011 12:58 am

lol I might, not to sure yet. I may just go as Rangiku one day and be normal the other two, it's easier than going as Saskue cause I don't want to buy temporary hair dye.

jellyfox · Post by **jellyfox** » Wed Apr 06, 2011 1:05 am

True that. College kids=no money. But if it's just down to that, it shouldn't cost that much extra right?

Celonic · Post by **Celonic** » Wed Apr 06, 2011 11:49 am

haha, i go to mass maritime x.x but i live in vermont haha,

BlueEyedAlchemist · Post by **BlueEyedAlchemist** » Wed Apr 06, 2011 3:16 pm

Yes we are poor lol. I'll only have to pay $0.00 because I have both of them. It's still up in the air.

That's pretty cool and your right on the water. What's your major?

For some reason I don't like going in normal clothing to cons. I've tried it before at Comic Con and metrocon, but it's really boring

BlueEyedAlchemist · Post by **BlueEyedAlchemist** » Thu Apr 07, 2011 1:00 pm

Yeah I know what you mean. Kinda like you feel left out. I may just buy some stuff there and wear i around lol. Not the same but it'll work for the time being.
