Gawsh, do I arrive so late. I was told of this place by... eff, I forget names.

I was that wigless Princess Wriggle. I was planning to bring a wig but it became bad and I hated the colour so much. orz

88 - Tengu

So, now that I'm single, I miss Otakon the year that not one but two cute Ayas attend?

Ah, well, they're probably underage anyway (if my poor judge of appearances in the past is any indication) </sourgrapes>

Holy crap. I've got the other people in the office looking at me suspiciously now as I'm laughing my ass off. Great work, MJP.

Yay welcome!  Your Princess Wriggle was adorables :3


AMMY!
YESSSSSS COME BACK YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO :V


What's great about the video is originally it was just the Madoka girls.  We were standing up in the flowers being all elegant or something.  And then MJP comes back with my sammich, and there was another one who was tagging around the main photoshoot (they pulled one of each lady) and we're like OH HEY MORNING RESCUE GUYS and here we are now.

How do you view that? I get the obligatory Germantube block, and when I try to watch it via proxy it shows the video to be of 0 seconds length and clicking play results in it being over instantaneously.  :derp:

Wait where do you go then?  I was under the impression that if you wanted a room near the con center you were paying double if you didn't go through Passkey/Otakon rate.

Corporate negotiated rates.  I usually get rooms for less than $125/night; this year I got around that much for a room at the Sheraton Inner Harbor.

Edit - also, you'd be surprised re: the otakon rates.  I've found in the past that some hotels charge more if you tell them you're there for the convention.  Perhaps that's changed in the last few years.

I actually got a hotel outside of the Otakon rates. o3o $179 per night when I book'd wif the Hampton website. Had two bedrooms and a sofa... but it was a biiiig room. I think we're gonna try to get that similar room next year.

... Wait wut, next year reservations already? I don't even know what cosplays to do! *fffffffffffffffff*

Edit: Big thanks to Kiro and Link for sharing the room.  Next year I'm definitely getting a place with two beds though, even if it is a bit pricier.

I'll be up for sharing a room any year!

Yeah we're doing Holiday Inn again I think.  I found the Days Inn to be cramped if you have 4-5 people + costumes, but maybe we just happened to get loser rooms the years we did it.

It sounded like the Holiday Inn/Days Inn were at least more the way to go than the Radisson, from what I heard. They had microwaves and mini-fridges, which would have opened possible snacking opportunities from the lovely world of pop-tarts and space tuna (those little tuna-to-go things.) The Radisson was not fantastic, I have to say. We could totally hear through the walls (luckily we did not have gregarious neighbors...) Also, there was a window in my shower. Why?

And also! The pics we got from photoshoot #2 are up on my flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sleepy-slug/sets/72157627339907296/

We still got the space-tuna and rice cakes since we didn't know about the fridge/microwaves, but I will be abusing them next year ohoho.

Ahhh Saturday shoot!  I was off Being Meguca and didn't make it but THAT'S where all the moonbunnies were that we missed on Friday!

I've been at the Days before, a few years ago, and it wasn't so bad. We managed to get six in plus costumes without being too cramped, but since it's so cheap I might try to stick to 4-5 people just for the extra room (and so everyone gets a bed, haha).

I can't wait until I'm able to Brohou it up.  I seriously wouldn't mind wearing just any dang Touhou costume from China but there is zero way I can pull off anything remotely feminine enough to look like the Touhou equivalent of Man-Faye.  Think a mix of Wolverine and Reimu, and not in a good way, bub.
