You know its out there: the dreaded smell of unwashed bodies. At Sakura-Con, it's called H.O.B.O: Horrible Otaku Body Odor. We here at Sakura-Con have declared the convention a "No H.O.B.O. Zone. " To enforce that, we have provided a checklist that will help you keep that smell to an absolute minimum, and your Con experience will be much more pleasant. Please remember to bring these things with you!

I'm co-hosting three panels this year and participating in a fourth, and despite the fact that I'll have just returned from Tokyo (knock on wood) next April, I'm still planning on heavily participating in AB2005 in May. Unfortunately, in 2006 when I'll be finishing my thesis work, I may not be able to stay for the whole weekend...

Also, how does one get involved in such panels (not that I'd ever want to myself)?

A "home con" is generally a con in your backyard, something that you've been going to since you first started going to cons, etc. AB is really a quasi-home con because it's close to my school (just across the state). Being in Philadelphia, Otakon's really the closest big con to me until Kosaikon switches to a weekend format.
