AWA is a few months away, who is all going? I went 5 years ago when I was 15, so I sorta know what the con is like, but can't remember too much.
This year I will be attending as an artist. Does anyone have any tips with anything such as parking or food? Would it be a good idea to try and get a hotel room with another artist to help keep down costs, or not worth the trouble?

I went to AWA last year and it was okay. Nothing really stood out until I attended the two concerts. Otherwise it was an okay con.
Parking wise you can just park behind the mall and walk through the skybridge. It's not that bad of a walk but it rained all week for me. There's not really a lot of food around except for what's at the food court or if you have money to splurge at a fancy sit in.
I'd reccommend checking out the artist alley thread and see if anyone is interested. I didn't table but I heard from people that they didn't do so well last year.
Never been before, my last and only con was years ago, so this is me getting my feet back in the water. Not cosplaying this year, but will wear lolita all four days!
Never met the Atlanta lolitas, but I hope it won't be too hard to meet a few nice frills. Heard bad things about that comm man.

I hope you'll have a good experience anon. I'm in a SE comm (not ATL) but I go to AWA. Looking forward to Meta being there.
Has anyone ever hooked up at AWA? Any stories?

Food isn't too bad. There is the food court in the con (which is very limited) and then the food court at the cheaper mall across the street (across the sky bridge). It's a bit of a walk like the other anon said but there are decent options. And they usually have some good and unique food trucks in the dealer's hall. The lines are long but I enjoy the different foods. Prices aren't usually terrible either.
