Go right ahead. I'm happy someone enjoyed my plushies.

[add-in] BTW, if you want to try and get some of those guys yourself, you can ask N-Forza here: http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,566.0.html. He ships things from Japan, and I think he could get you some of those.

I don't think I met anyone new...that means I shouldn't have to introduce myself  :V

Looks like you guys had a good time!

Otakon was a blast.  Trying to get outfits ready and whatnot took forever though, but it was awesome.

Someone brought a sailor senshi outfit, and uh...

And here are all the pics I have taken over the con.

After appropriate sorting, here are my pictures.

All I can say is:

[triangles]

You know I didn't actually update with what I did at the con or anything.
So in some sort of chronological order and I will probably forget things....

• Special Needs registration line was the ultimate slowbro, but we had like half the forum congoers to keep us company!
• MEAD O'CLOCK
• I try on Murein's Iris corset and holy crap did my waist disappear and it was still too big a corset.  Got a pic in it with JANANANANA YOU ARE SO ADRUNKABUBBLE :3
• Red Mage costume oh wait I have no pictures of it
• Finish prepping my artz and bring to Art Show to submit.
• Let's go to the dealer's ro- OH GOD TOO MUCH WOBBLES NEED WALKER.  But I get my Fate/Zero command seal I sport for the bulk of the con so victory!
• Urobuchi panel.  The line to ask questions was too long and too many people asked stupid ones, though there was some awesome mixed in
• We arrive fashionably late to the Touhou panel but don't miss much
• ....actually, repeat for the photoshoot between trying to find dinner and the BCC security goons being horrible and closing the handicap entrances (still in a walker at this point)
• Oldakon rocks out watching the Olympic opening ceremonies, Orioles fireworks despite getting beat down and going to bed at Old O'Clock
• Urobuchi autograph  :3
• Friend is slowbro having to deal with the ultimate slowking so no fancy photoz for me I was really hoping for some nice photoz too
• Fashionably late for Touhou #2.  Man good thing I was a character from Ten Desires and thus at the end of the initial game roll calls!
• GOLD MEDAL IN CAT PHOTO SHARING OLYMPICS :3
• GOLD MEDAL IN EDIBLE READING TANTO CUORE INSTRUCTIONS ALOUD WHEN I AM SOBER OLYMPICS 
• Steins;Gate dub premiere which was actually pretty good!  I will pay money for this!
• Made it to Edo in time to eat sushi this year hooray!
• Being the worst EWI player ahhhhh I know logically why there isn't a clarinet setting, but I needed a clarinet setting  :ohdear:  I am totally adding me not being horrible on clarinet as video response to when that inevitably hits the YouTubes
• All of my artz sold hooray!  After fees I cleared over $100!

Welp that went on forever and I probably used too many emocons oh well!

yeah when I played it at AB it was pretty weird, it felt like a cross between a recorder and a saxophone in terms of the fingerings. Almost like an Albert style clarinet. Too bad there aren't any videos of me sitting in the corner drunk playing it during Momiji's Birthday party.   :derp:

[triangles]

I set it to flute which I have the most experience with, but it didn't really help much apparently! 

I did eventually get something squeaked out of it as Mima was cheering me through Reincarnation  :V  Eventually the bigger issue was remembering the octave switching and not accidentally smacking other buttons since I try to play clarinet "properly" and hover my fingers close to the holes.  Also "oh hey there's a low A well that doesn't exist on a flute SURELY I MUST BE ON A CLARINET oh wait"

[[⑨] Suzuran]

I brought up a Danbooru instance at http://conbooru.lunar-tokyo.net to put convention pictures on, that way we can have everyone's pictures in one place and not have to dig all over for them.
Uploaders have to be approved, so just poke me if you need that. Everything else should work as normal. Let me know if there's any issues.

The angle household is confirmed for Ota-cold 

[Jana]

The Jana household is plague-free! My tummy kind of hurt for a while because of all the junk food I ate, though.

[K]

COME AT ME, BRO

[DX7.EP]

What ailment? Recovered from con stuff more quickly this time around too.

[Iris]

Hokay, well, after watching my vids over, it looks like I'm mostly just taking pictures of the crowd, so I don't /think/ MLB will come down on my ass. Anyway, I've begun uploading videos of Otakon to my youtube channel; you can watch the ever growing playlist at http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8F28748C50364DEA .  This year's Otakon was pretty freakin' awesome, and the chance to see people again that I don't normally get to see is always worth sweating through ninety plus degree Baltimore heat with fifty pounds of crap on me.  That being said, maybe some day I'll get a picture of me where I'm not actually carrying all my camera crap.  Anyway, enjoy, and I'll let you know when major things get uploaded.

[Zakenna]

well this is actually going to be different since I didn't actually hang out with you guys that often so I get to see what you guys were up to most of the con.

edit: I am clear of the Otakon strain of conplague so far. I am probably clear of being a carrier too since those around haven't turned into con-zombies yet either

[helvetica]

Oh I definitely had conplague

[Kilgamayan]

All right! By popular request, here is (the slightly tweaked version of) the slideshow we showed at the panel! A few things have been reworded to stylize better and/or not look like the entire thing was an at-con rush job, the edits made right before the panel have been reverted (amusing as they were, they didn't go along with the intended gag), and a credits panel has been added at the end since I only verbally acknowledged our fantastic fan artists at the panel proper.

Enjoy!

[Zakenna]

I'm not gonna lie, I remember you showing me a sneak peak at an unfinished ppt panel Thursday but I was so gone that I can't even remember which one it was lol

[LeoModesto]

Okay cool now I can actually get the jokes I drew pictures for

thanks kilga =u=)b

As the other guy that drew a thing, I'll say it was kind of fun to see my work in front of such a large audience. Feel free to ask again if you want materials for next year.
