but it can't be that hot in maryland
We've occasionally had highs of 100+ for otakon in the past :v
i will surviveWe have had people suffer from heat exhaustion due to warm clothing. Seriously, I'd stick to a shirt and shorts.
I WILL SURVIVE ALONG WITH MY SWEATSHIRT

See, THIS is appropriate cosplay for the weather.
Excuse me, but crocs aren't appropriate anywhere.
So it's in two weeks or something but otakon's still slacking when it comes to announcing musical guests. Unless the only one we're getting this year is ALTIMA.??? http://www.otakon.com/guests_musicsun.asp ???
I WILL SURVIVE ALONG WITH MY SWEATSHIRTYeah no this is a bad idea trust me.
ALL OF THEM
AT ONCE
Wear whichever one you will melt least in seriously it's gonna be toasty.
I thought about doing that :VThat was the same year I cosplayed KD Meiling which I stupidly made out of twill. It was also the same year I got 40 hours of work in before 3 o'clock on a Thursday and hopped aboard a cramped train for Balty an hour later, coasting into town at OMG o'clock. I spent the majority of the con in a haze and/or one unfortunate situation or another.
I cosplayed Suwako when it was 101?F in 2011 and it wasn't too bad.
Yoshiki?! Fffffffff
No more vacation hours to make it to Otakon this year. :(
The best thing about otakon in DC is I won't have to get a hotel anymore 8)
At the rate things are going, the badge is soon to be more expensive than a share of a six-person hotel room anyway.
Just wear a toga.
Just wear a Touga.
Way ahead of you.
DC is also way better than Baltimore so I might actually go again!

GET
HYPE
When your favorite team is the Jaguars, Ravens/Niners is professional football, even in the preseason.I want to laugh, but not only are you right, but it reminds me that my team will be subpar at best this year.
Who's coming to the Japanese Whiskey panel with me?

It's not whiskey, but I'm sure I'll have some magical power juice on hand.
Yeah the photoshoot will have to conclude promptly at 4 and then there will be a mad dash to the panel room. Also yaaaay I get to show off my miniskirt for both the panel and downtown Baltimore.
Gotta be fashionaaabluh bro. Guess I know which day I'm wearing Kyouko then!
FUCK though, the talent show tryouts and talent show itself conflict with the photoshoot and panel D: D: D:It looks like the talent show tryouts are set up like open mic karaoke where you sign up and since everyone has a 3min limit they can tell you when to come back so it might not be so intrusive?

Does anyone know if Autographs will be ticketed this year? I'm thinking of going down on the first train Saturday for Saori Hayami's panel and trying for a sign, but if it's ticketed then I probably shouldn't even bother.
And then maybe doing the dinner before taking the train back.
I get to cheat the line this morning. I've no idea how you poor sods survived that sick mess. :[Ah yes you and me are alike. As scummy as it may be (and I feel scummy for it) it's hilariously easy to cut in line for anime cons.
This is also the first year where I get strong sprint LTE coverage
why don't do they mail badges out like ACen seriously
Floatakon has been great so far. Swimming, free dinner for my services, and I get to cheat the line this morning. I've no idea how you poor sods survived that sick mess. :[Same, was freaking out when I woke up at 5:30am and heard the line already wrapped around the BCC. Our first reaction to hearing this news was to grab the nearest drink, pour liquor in it, and throw our shoes on and run out in our PJs. We got super lucky and managed to cut to the front of the line and got our badge at ~8:30am.
Ah yes you and me are alike. As scummy as it may be (and I feel scummy for it) it's hilariously easy to cut in line for anime cons.We weren't even trying to cut, there was just a big gap in the line around one of the doors and me and two of my roommies were standing around waiting for the rest of our entourage to catch up (we all ran out the door screaming FEND FOR YOURSELVES), and the line just accepted us as its own. Someone around us got Dunkin Donuts and offered us some of them. Weeaboos may have their problems but we stand in solidarity with each other and we support our own and spirits were high (at the time, but as the line dragged on I imagine morale took some lumps).
That and nobody recognized me in Nazrin. I get I'm the shadowy overlady of MotK but I thought I was a bigger attention whore >:(
I don't need fried chicken tryptophan making me pass out on the New Jersey Turnpike or Garden State Parkway.Preemptive NO U SUCK
Preemptive JERSEY SUCKS for My Jewish Wolfwood and #Trianglesrisk.
SUBTLE REMINDER TO UPLOAD THE PICTURE ARASHI
Checking in from the Delaware Welcome Center, since a few people expressed concern about my traveling situation (driving solo all the way back to northeast Massachusetts). Still going strong, but I'm gonna be ordering "lunch" to both optimize money expenditures and likelihood to keep me energized, just in case. Love Popeye's to death, but I don't need fried chicken tryptophan making me pass out on the New Jersey Turnpike or Garden State Parkway.

Are you considering a touhou panel at magfest? It's certainly topical, given the sheer volume of arrange albums that exist...
Pretty much. It would be similar in structure and spirit with more of a focus on the games, fan games, and music since that seems to be what MAGfest seems to be about. Print works and doujins would get an honorable mention, but it doesn't fit with the rest as much. Bringing in either someone associated with Touhou Tuesday or Gensokyo Radio would be a great fit but the panel could survive if no one from either could be made available. Unfortunately I don't know the crowd there as well so I don't know how privy they are to the series and general fandom. It may influence whether it's mostly an introduction to the series or just sort of basking in the glory of the more nuanced aspects of the fandom. Throwing four friends new to the series at Amapani and tallying the amount of curse words and insults that arise from the experience might make for some humor though.
Sometime or another I'll get around to talking about how awesome it was to be around all you guys again, how nice it was to meet some of you even if we didn't talk much, and how much I missed some who couldn't make it. :(
That Utena pin is absolutely precious :3I don't have conplague but my legs are completely destroyed. I was struggling to get into the shower and my car today D:. And in like 3 days I'm going on a hiking trip!!!!1111
Also ROLL CALL WHO'S GOT THE OTAKOLD?

Did he go last year? I know he went two years ago but I'm not sure if he was able to make it, being all west coast and all. I know he's REALLY BIG on Magfest tho. I wish I could go but I'm usually out of the state on winter break in Austin and I think this year it directly conflicts with Ohayocon (which is much closer, much less of a time commitment and above all, much cheaper).Looks like he didn't go last year due to it being expensive. :/ Dunno about this year, but you could ask him Tuesday I'd imagine. I'd like to visit something like Ohayocon or MAGFest myself if my studies don't get in the way (Which they tend to do >.>:)
Panel was great! I think this was the first Otakon panel (other than my absolute abortion of the very first Touhou panel at Otakon) I got to speak at :3 WAS AWESOME I WISH I HAD TIME TO GET MORE INVOLVED WITH IT :[
I know how you feel about overloaded tho T~T I didn't goto the Touhou dinner and I only went to the Saturday/Sunday shoots. As much as I love Otakon there's ALWAYS too much to do every time :[

Anyway, Blingee was giving me fits so go nuts with this on your own:

I wonder if anyone even uses Blingee non-ironically anymore.
I'm officially renaming conplague to conleg, because my legs are useless and I can barely sit or stand.Yeah, I didn't get sick but my legs are still feeling sore along with my shoulders.

I think I finally feel ready to try an MG kit again (got an MG Strike Noir back in college but fucked up the screws so bad I couldn't finish the torso ;_;) since the HG Sinanju I got at Tekko turned out to be pretty complex. The Unicorn Banshee was tempting but grabbing the Freedom instead let me also get the Qubeley Papillon without dipping into my dinner reserve and my very first kit was the ungraded-but-roughly-HG 1/100 Justice so they'll make a nice pair. And I got a bonus just extra weapon-y thing for spending over $50 so that was cool.

Hello, and thank you for attending! That game is called AMaPaNi, named after the four playable characters. Since you've already found his thread, you can indeed request a copy from N-Forza if you like (he is how I got my copy).
