Noted in my calendar to check back in on this in March...

I'm all over this !!!!

I'm sooooo Down to do this, I'm sticking to this opportunity like Gorilla Glue...

Thanks for the link Lixx...

Seriously half the battle with going to Japan is the airfare is so outrageous. Take that out and Japan looks a whole lot better (minus the exchange rate).

WF 2012 meet-up! Clear your calendars and start your essays

This is a genius idea. Who would pass up a free ticket to Japan?

Finally my Japan dreams are coming true!!

we need to start planning group trips lol... but seriously im on this like a fat kid on a cupcake

Wow!!!!

How much does it cost from the US? I once went with 450 euros from Europe (but I did pick up a last minute offer).

About $1300-1400 I'd say. I'm sure you can find cheaper flights, it also depends on which coast you're leaving from. West Coast is cheaper.

Whoa, too bad it's not 100% set and if it does get passed not until next April (all according to that link.) I might plan a second trip for next year then too, this is cool.

I would LOVE this! Hopefully it pulls through and many of us are selected

I've gone twice for less than $1k + hotel. The month you go also plays a big part in your airfare as well as where you stay. The thing that amazes me, a lot of people spend a whole lot of money going to SDCC. If you can save up for SDCC, take a year off and use that money for a trip to Japan.

I'm am going to try and score some

I always spent about $700 from the midwest. Haven't been in a few years though.
The exchange was much better the first time.
