Has anyone been to Otakon before?

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

Oh I don't know you're forgetting about the people that pay at the door Gene. Some people also come for just one day. You have to count those people too they are not going to prereg.

Last year there was only 1,500 memberships or so left the day before Otakon so they sold over 20,000 memberships last year. I haven't forgoten about the people that pay at the door. It'll be nice if there was a smaller crowd this year though for Otakon has been getting a little too crowded.

Oh yeah and this year the attendance cap is 25,000 not 22,000 so there are 3000 more people. What is pissing me off is that they don't have a schedule up yet.

What are you guys dressing up as for Otakon? I'm going to be Pupuran from Sailor Moon Super S: The Movie, Zexion from Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, and Chihaya from Earthian. I am so excited!

I'm going as InuYasha once more and possibly my final year as InuYasha. I'll be caring around a boombox playing the opening of the first season (5 minute version). So just look for a tetsaiga that is signed by Richard Ian Cox and an InuYasha playing music and that will be me. I'll probably show up at the amv panel this year.

I'm going, but not as an AMV editor. Tried that last year and failed (YOU FAIL LOL). Going with general-otaku friends. <3 One is curious about AMVs and has dabbled in it off-org, so I may tag along with her as an audience member.

Might recycle my Tekko cosplay - Random War Room Library Flunky from the ROD OAV - just to keep the other cosplayer company, although I feel ghetto and gross for recycling a costume. Didn't have time. So I'd be a Yomiko-esque troll with a clipboard that says "<- NOT YOMIKO." :)

Also commissioned a Kagura the Wind Sorceress from Inu Yasha, and that should be pretty cool. She's married, though, so piss off. 8-)

honestly I think there will be a lot of people getting in a late rush kinda mode as soon as august starts... Otakon is the Nirvana of anime conventions. "Gene PM so we can talk"

And im definalty cosplaying as Zaraki
