I would love to go but my wallet screams at me, maybe sometime in the distant future, I'll meet Shauna and others. biggrin.gif (It'll be a big surprise if I am able to make it since I've never shown myself on this site before, sneaky*sneaky* biggrin.gif ) I seriously thought about moving to Florida if I could get transfered to one of the local refinery/plants, every time I go there the people seem to be a lot nicer/friendlier, weather, and I have a good time going to the beach. sweatdrop.gif

Yeah, I know, every time I go there on summer vacation I don't want to go back to South AR. (even though I live out in the country it's still just the atmosphere *humidity/high heat/thunderstorms popping out of nowhere*, some of the people, and so on. Being close to my family is really one of the few good things I like were I live, but I guess I can't complain as long as I have a roof to live under.

I'm actually going to be at Otakon this year as well. Celebrating my 5th wedding anniversary and it'll be the first con since I had my daughter.
End of line.

Another summer, another fantastic Otakon!

A (fake) fire alarm forced 27,000 Otaku into the streets...

The other couple rooming with us got engaged at the Bleach photo shoot, dressed as Shunsi and Nanao. We got it on video, it was awesome.

Attendance this year fell just short of 30,000. Even in bad economic times, otakon still grows like crazy every year.

Good times....

The only positive thing about the fire alarm was that it gave me a valid excuse to leave the fanfiction workshop that was starting to really drag. I was pretty excited about that one too dry.gif

Had a blast at the con. Too bad I got sick and had a minor sprain to my ankle.
End of line.

pros for my 9th Otakon....

-Historical Anime panel was a blast. I learned so much in such a short period of time. Went well beyond the basics most otaku already knew.

-The Hilton was not affected by the evacuation, so I got to chill in the main video room for some mid-day Slayers Revolution, followed by Black Lagoon and High School of the Dead. I really, really liked Black Lagoon.

-The Masquerade was easily the best I've seen in 3 years. The Hetalia skits were very high quality, as well as funny.

-Dubs that time forgot was very funny, like every other year.

-Obscure Video game anime was pretty cool .I had no idea Samurai Showdown was made into a (very bad) anime.

cons:

-missed the AMV finals. Twice. First due to poor scheduling in a room not nearly big enough, the second due to the fire alarm.

-The 10 funniest AMVs screening was awful. Very, very poorly researched list. Half of them weren't even funny at all.

-Saturday Night fanparodies re-mastered some classics to show, but unfortunately they obviously did not re-master the audio, which was so jumbled it may have been in Chinese.

Rather than starting a new thread since it is a convention too, and coming up in bit over a week- is anyone else going to Dragon Con? (huge pop culture-including anime and manga- convention in Atlanta, GA always held over Labor Day weekend- it actually starts on Thursday afternoon and goes through Monday afternoon, over 400 guests and attendance is now around 75,000 attendees - spread over 4 hotels, and actually putting a few events into a 5th one this year) I've gone about every year since 2003.

Because New York can't have anime cons. They've tried several times and they always fail.

Your best bet is AnimeBoston, which is highly successful.

Just got back from the Boston Otacon, and it was my very first time! I got this sexy figurine, and I had a good experience save the people who worked in the foodcourt being kittenwads. I will be going back, and I'll try to have more money so I can buy more things, and find a cheaper, faster and less stressful method of transportation than going on trains and subways.

A hand holds up the sky while shamefully I make my plea
The alter's callin' but my legs won't seem to stand
Guess I'm a coward scared to face the man I am
