Works fairly well I'll say. Used it to upload today's log without much of a problem.

1 hour 5 minutes left to go, gah....

YEAH WELL YOU SUCK

I'm actually pretty impressed with our transit time, included Maryland being dumb, a caffeine stop and the inevitable chokepoint that is the Six Flags exit area we made good time, but we also left probably an hour before the Mass-heads.

Welp, pretty much as close to home as I'm gonna get tonight. Gotta say, that second photoshoot is probably going to be my most favorite one ever, there was just so much that happened. And please tell me someone got the Deadpool run-by in a shot, that was hilarious.

I was in the grey TF2 shirt taking various pictures and listening on to post-panel conversations. Guess I should've made a better introduction! ^^;;
Found your KD Sakuya amid the other cosplayers though, wasn't too hard.
On it, on it, on it. Done.

Where can i find the photos from 4pm photoshoot on the 28th?  Somebody told me to check there.

Some of them should be over here; I'm not one of the Otakon-goers so I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for. EP did say he'd upload more pictures eventually, so if it's not in that thread, it'll show up soon.

Yeah, the pics I have uploaded so far are there.

DAya and Murein, among others, will be uploading what they have taken as well.

Quite a lot more comprehensive than mine in terms of how many cosplays are in picture, I'll add.

Just made it back to Arkansas.  Damn good weekend if I don't say so. 

Quick funny story.  When I got the the airport I was packing my stuff I bought in my bag and there was a family sitting next to me with young kids.  The father asked me "Oh did you just come from the hentai convention?" and his son goes "what a hentai?".  I had to hold my laughter in and then told the father (away from his kids I must add) that it was an ANIME convention and explained what hentai is briefly.  He was a little embarrassed. 

Glad to see everyone is making it home safely.  See you all next year!

Speaking of hentai conventions, was the Yaoi Guy there?

Yeah.  He had definitely toned down his... rhetoric from previous years, and I didn't hear him shouting as much, but then I also didn't spend all that much time in the dealer room.

I spent a "healthy" amount of time in the Dealer's Room and he wasn't that bad on Friday and Saturday.  On Sunday however, he and the other people working behind his booth were in full force.

It is my understanding that all the shouting he has done over the years has resulted in some actual vocal cord damage. I'd bet this is at least part of the reason why he was not in top form all weekend.

Everyone successfully delivered home. My plastic waifu is now home and proudly displayed. I got to hit a few good panels for the first time in a bit, and Anime's Craziest Deaths and Weirdest Games were both worth it in spades.
I know I'm one of three people on the planet Earth who are still nuts about Aya, but if any of you beautiful people get a photo of her I would be so grateful. Get a photo taken with her, and I will be so jelly they'll have to put me in a jar and set it on the shelf next to the peanut butter.
On the contrary, Aya seems to be too popular for her own good sometimes. I've had more friends/acquaintances cosplay her than the next two most popular choices COMBINED. She still pops up everywhere, too. Look up the doujin Yakumo-ke. Aya's a main character in it. Aya's a main character in a doujin about THE YAKUMO FAMILY.
My god damned feet fell off :(
That applies to a lot of us. Bonus points for all the people in poorly chosen footwear. That's just adding more vehicles to a massive car crash, though.
I Janananana'd all over the place today, and Janasister made it to the shoot as Hatate at the very end.
How you doin'? You seemed to have spent much of the con sleeping/in the room due to uh, self-inflicted health maladies...?
I will always dream of the 5 magic stones coming back...

(goddamn my voice cracked everytime I wanted to yell something out x.x)
OH so that was you? I'll need to watch the video of the panel when it's posted.
Otakon was awesome

You know why?

I had my own personsl Koishi <3
We caught a brief glimpse of a Koishi cosplayer out and about Saturday night. New friend of yours? 

Come to think, I had a brief bit of input regarding Koishi's unique mental status, but I was a bit nervous/bleary during the panel and thus couldn't gather myself enough to give it when she was brought up during Q&A.

Uh, I was talking about Aya Hirano; not Syameimaru.

I read a transcript of her Q&A session at Otakon, and it seems she specifically requested no photos or recording, so I doubt anyone got a photo taken of or with her. Ah well.

On the plus side, she came across really well in the Q&A.

Wouldn't all you need to do to get a photo taken with her would be to join her band and remove your pants?  *rim shot*

Can I also just say two things:

1) All y'all are scrubs for not Artemising, who wants to give it a shot via the internet and Skype? 
2) The highlight of our cons is hanging out with other meidos and we love the hell out of everyone <3

Ah I see, that would explain why the other people working his booth were doing most of the yelling.
