Apparently so! I thought she was out of singing due to a benign tumor issue, but that was somehow tied to why she wound up leaving the company she had a contract with because of how the situation was handled or what-have-you. I dunno this story anymore.

I really hope the touhou panel isn't Sunday at noon. <_<

I've heard varying reports of this.  I guess we'll find out one way or another!

No, no.  I mean there is a distinct possibility the panel will be on Sunday around Noon, it's been close to there in the past.

Do you have an ideal time, if you could pick a few?

Aya Hirano: when nobody in Japan takes you seriously because you fellated your bass player and it got leaked online, come to America where this is routine.

Glibness aside this is the one thing I'd like to see so long as it doesn't interfere with the art auction, Twoshoe panel, or other interesting stuff.

Pretty much guaranteed to interfere with the art auction sadly. :(  I wish they'd just do it Saturday nights after they wrap up bidding.

IS IT AYA HIRANO?!

:smug:

Also, I love how it's totally OK to pour scorn and ridicule on a hard-working artist for having sex when she's female, but to laud them as some kind gods when they're male. Keep that double-standard alive, well into the 21st century, 4chan!

Public promiscuity of that nature is very rare among Japanese celebrities, so it's pretty looked down upon culturally as far as I can tell.  I don't think it's just a 4chan thing.

Obviously I don't give a crap either way. <_<

It is my understanding that Saturday 11 AM-12 PM is the "ideal" time given the other Touhou scheduling. But really, I'll take any time that isn't 9 AM, isn't Sunday, and doesn't interfere with the shoots or shoot-related activities.

...That...would be rather unfortunate.  Well, with any luck it;ll be Firday or Saturday sometime which would be far more useful a time.  All we can do for now is hope, right?

I'm aiming to enter 3-4 cross stitchy things in the art show and I hope at least one makes it to auction unless everyone has terrible taste in things or I completely miss at pricing, both of which are entirely possible.

Welllll, someone has to wind up on Sunday....  although I don't know if there's a way to guarantee blackout of certain timeslots short of saying "I am in the masquerade" or "my flight leaves/arrives X o'clock" with Otakon  :ohdear:

I registered for Otakon! I am flying in from Southern California, so is there anything I should know about the area?

Or the convention?

Or anything in general?

Hurrah for having to pre-reg for panels!

Will be asking for time off shortly. Considering I'll have been there for a year plus at Otatime and I've only taken 4 days off for the entire year while REALLY wishing that I could've used just as many sick days, I think I should be safe. But there's always that TENSION.
