Otakon 2004

This forum is for the announcement and discussion of anime conventions, and for the exchanging of rides to, and rooms at, conventions.

Hope to be there again this year. It was easily one of the best conventions I've gone to and had an awesome time.

Hopefully have something ready for the contest as well.

I went last year (first con) and I had a GREAT time. Even though some people said it wasn't the best con they had been to...well I still had a good time. :) But since I am the only real nerd in the family, my only way of getting there is to tag along with friends.

That being said, it all depends on if Scintilla's dad is nice enough to take everyone down again. :P

Ohhhh, it'll go well, I'm on the job. ;)

The sibs and I have a room at, oh, somewhere closeish. Holiday Inn? I think so. Anyway, errr, yeah. Last year has established the psychological need for an extremely geeky road trip at least once a year.

May cosplay, may not; not entering any vids (don't HAVE any vids right now). Will be there, wandering around and burning more money than I can afford. See you there. Look for the cow. 8)

I think I'm going. It'll give me something to look forward to at the end of July.

I, sadly (if I'm lucky), will be doing the camp counselor thing up at Vassar, so I won't be able to make it. I still plan on entering the AMV contest, though...

I'm looking into perhaps submitting a vid if I can locate information on formatting and such and get around to doing a bit of remastering. And like I've done the past two years, I'll be cosplaying as well (If you see a Kaji in a blue dress shirt, red tie, and with natural hair most of the way down his back, it's almost definitely me. I'll most likely be spotted hanging around a similarly convincing Gendou cosplayer.)

I just got adobe premiere and may actually try and make an amv worth watching and enter it in the contest. And most likely I'll be cosplaying as well.

Kagome, hmmmm, sure I'll look amongst the fifty of them. Just Kidding

I am trying to get a hotel, I'll be the guy that looks like a posterchild for Subaru, I'll be dragging some cosplayers behind me and am there with my good friend Metro

I too shall go...in fact I'm already pre-registered and my hotel room is reserved. This will be my sixth Otakon, and this year I swear that I will:
A) ...have an AMV submitted...but I am terrified now that I am in contact with the competition and I see first hand who I have to contend with...
B)...will go in cosplay form. I'll be the ever stylish and very glompable Resident Evil Zombie Cop that the other Resident Evil cosplayers will undoubtedly be chasing down.
So...see y'all then...hopefully in the AMV screening rooms.

Yeah, I'll get to Otakon...one way or another. Whether I finish my video on time is a different story ._.

Uh, how? The pre-registration system isn't yet set up, and the website says pre-registrations aren't being accepted...

So I should expect another good video from a guy with huge glasses?
I look forward to it, good luck
