read: Get time off work, buy your ticket at the door. The line for reservations is usually longer than walk in's, as amusing as that is.
And there is a high probability I'll be going as a /b/tard. (Since Aya and I are going to the /b/tard showing of Snakes on a Plane in PA anyway.) (edited by Ogre on 07-16-06 03:21 PM) |

Hey Rydain, I actually met you at Otakon last year and gave you a hug. FEAR ME.
I'm going to Otakon, but not dressing up due to financial problems. I was at animazement though as a guest with a wig panel, since I do wig commissions for cosplayers. http://www.kawaiiwigs.net |

Bump since I just got back. Wasn't as awesome this year in either the Artist Alley or Dealer's Room due to staff squabbling scaring off vendors, but it was still fun. The 4chan panel was goddam amazing, I haven't laughed so hard in ages. Went drinking with Moot, Snacks, and Davey (formerly Scribblekid) after the Aftermath, which was fun. Was very nice seeing Davey again, so I was content.
Anyone elses thoughts? |

Nice to hear it went well. Can't be awesome each year I figure, but still... "fun" is always a good word to use when describing a con.
Anyone have pics? Rydain? |

I think I saw Amanda, but I was running outside for a photoshoot with a Deathcom Multimedia photographer, so I was like DEH CONFUSED. Sorry about that!
I put a con report in my LJ. If you don't want to read all of that, here's the really brief synopsis. Good stuff - Dynasty Warriors cosplay (we wound up getting a private photoshoot as mentioned above), chatting with nifty artists, playing a silly taiko drum game, Katie Bair's wig panel Bad stuff - Looooong prereg line, getting a sunburn due to being an idjit and forgetting my sunblock, the Silent Hill panel (which managed to be largely pointless no matter whether you were a n00b or a fan), the aches and pains that naturally come along with wearing a heavy, unbalanced wig, having the elastic pop off my knee guards and no way to jury-rig them so I could at least wear them somehow And the first picture of myself I found is on this page. Third pic down with the gold claws, purple armor, black ponytail, and OMGFLOOF. |

VERY nice, but we need to find more pics.
I wonder what's so special about pre-registering if you still have to go through hell when you get there. |

Why thank you sir! *bows*
Preregistering is special because Otakon now has an attendance cap. If you prereg, you guarantee that you'll get a pass. From what I recall, they still had at-con registrations well into Saturday this year, but still, it's good to know that you'll be definitely going. It's also handy if you can get to Baltimore on Thursday to pick up your badge that evening so you don't have to worry about it on Friday (and are able to make it to morning Friday events because there's no chance you'll be stuck in line). |

Nah, you didn't see me.
I've been very sick and wasa in the emergency room a little while ago for a severe kidney infection. Plus my new kitten is sick, and so is Tragic. :/ The little one still has the coccidia medicine to take, and we couldn't run off and just leave her..and now Tragic is scooting around, and we think he has anal gland problems. And he's balding on his stomach, which we have to get figured out. I wish I could've gone, but I heard it was pretty mediocre. I'm going to try and go next year though. DO YOU WANT TO ROOM? XD But yeah, July has not been my month. :/ I've had food poisoning, and now severe kidney infection, and during the cat scan in the emergency room they found something in my lung, so OH NOES, I COULD HAVE LUNG CANCER. Or something. :/ |
