I go. I go because it's far enough away to take a long weekend, but not so far away that I have to fuck around with airports. Because I hate airports. Love flying, hate airports.

Anyway, mention the word "cosplay" around me right about now and I will probably have a fit. I finally found one that I can do - Sohma Kagura from Fruits Basket, post-transformation, smartasses - in the mint-green dress from her first appearance in the anime. :) Flat-heeled tan boots are a bitch to find, let me tell you. I'm also commissioning a Rose Bride Kozue from Utena and 3/4 of the Kougaiji posse from Saiyuki (they're missing Dokugakuji). NOW you see why I am having fits.

...anyway, I'll probably be Kagurafied on Saturday, since I'm there the whole day. If you see Jabba the Hutt dressed as Sohma Kagura, say hello. I will be Everyday Me the other two days. If you see Jabba the Hutt in prepster-nerd clothes, say hello.

I maintain that cons are fun if you let them be fun. And that is why I go to Otakon. The end.

I think you are refering to the "AMV" workshop rather than the panel... The panel was different from the workshop and has been around for quite some years now... The Workshop was new and was more on the technical aspects of making it

krzT and I will be at Otakon. We'll be dragging along a first time con-goer. :twisted:

As the con date approaches, I guess I'll be arranging meeting times with some of the people here. :P

Either way I enjoyed myself and I'm looking forward to being on the workshop or the AMV pannel this year. Which ever one they decide to put me on.

I'll tell you what it is. A lot of f'ing work. I miss the days when Otakon was smaller and required less man-power to get it organized and executed. For instance, Anime USA still feels like a get-together among friends where we hang-out, and in our spare time happen to run an AMV room with panels, showings, contests, and punch. Otakon on the other hand feels like a part-time or full-time job except without the pay. I think a lot of people fail to realize that we're all doing this as volunteers. Hell, because of Otakon I don't even have the time to watch anime anymore which is a strange position to be in since part of my job is to try and track trends and select artwork that are popular.*

Well I am going, kinda forced due to my firend dan wanting me to go and
chasing some girl that'll never give me the time of day. Besides I have
been skipping out on going to anime mecca for a couple of years now.
Besides I get chance to meet all the AMV people again and walk around
the bigest dealers room I've ever seen. Hay vic can I barrow your fangirls
for a while share the wealth huh ... :joking:

Well, I just realized that i'll probably stop working around the time Otakon starts (Summer job hint: stop working before you make enough to have to pay state taxes) and i was interested in going. I know some people that are going but i assume the hotels are booked solid around there. That and i have no idea about getting there from MA... hmmm. Going to a con outside of MA would be fun an dif i can keep the costs down (I'm saving to go to Japan in January) I just might do it.

damn! too many impondrables...
