It's that time again.
Otakon's moving to DC next year, so come on by this year to say farewell to the Inner Harbor as we do our usual shit one last time.
-
Touhou Panel is currently on the website as scheduled for 1:15 PM Sunday, but since I will have been gone for over an hour by that time, we got it rescheduled for 10:15 AM the same day.

Nice. Also means it doesn't overlap with the concert!

HEY OTAKIDS

HEY OTAFRIENDS
The panel does overlap with the Live Art Auction though, I've made it in the last two years as does my super talented friend and crafter-in-arms and I have a feeling this year's gonna be good in that regard...

Also I think this is the first year I'm not bothering to cosplay???????? Maybe I'll throw Time Mage in the suitcase if I'm feeling sassy.

HEY OTAKIDS
HALLO FRINDS
This year's Otakon is neatly overlapping with lots of general life busy-ness and moving so all of my costumes are either packed away by choice, lack of free time, or are too hot to justify wearing in Baltimore's summer heat. Guess I'm just up for hanging out this year? ?\_(ツ)_/?
-
I expect that only Captain America and The Superior Hifuu will be making an appearance for me this year. I might throw in Orange as a third if I have room but I don't really expect to want to. I've no idea what state Miko is in, only that she was oddly uncomfortable at AB, so I'm not in a rush to drown in my own sweat while wearing her.

(I literally planned which when around "I can take the jacket off for Shizuma when I go foods on Friday and pack a nice non-cosplay for Forno on Saturday", lol. And then it ended up that the proper shoots for each are the other way around orz. Though the Touken Ranbu shoot is noon-thirty on the terrace on Friday so fuck no I have no desire to stand around out there like that either day given the forecast.)

Someone else watched Prince of Stride? :V :V
Edit: Wait. Lotus Juice and Shihoko Hirata are performing at the Matsuri?
Holy fuck, how did I miss that?

Your people are calling you, Red.

Only reason I didn't instabuy the game when it came out last August was my (still-extant) ridic backlog. I'm glad the anime ended up being real good too, I enjoyed it so much this past winter season.

idk man but I'm totally going. And pondering Cheesecake Factory if I want dessert after? :V

I noticed. Peace on Heinessen, true freedom for all men.
On a related note, a lot of the good panels I scoped out are either before noon or after midnight all throughout the con. At least I'll be light on my feet this year.
-
Guidebook is up!
-
Have fun all attendees! Don't any of you go dying of heatstroke before the next con I get to go to with you all, ok?

Lotus Juice/Shihoko Harata were amazing. Too bad about that laptop <_<
-
My con's already a success, with a new Super Metroid 100% Glitchless & Exploitless PB of 1:48.
-
Okay, so now that you guys are all there....
I want each and every one of you to pester Kilga to go to it'sugar and buy me a ton of the energy drink gummy bears!! He refuses to do it! What a meanie-pants!!! Go sneak caffeinated candy into his suitcase, please.
-
Hope everyone has a great time in my hometown, the City of Dreams. I'll be there in spirit!

I love anime cons
-
That's the first and last time I bring my mahjong set. Getting stopped at security is both hilarious and frustrating for something they have never seen before.
-
Leaving an important part of your costume at home does not make for an amazing cosplay, I speak from experience.
-
As simple and tame as my con experience was, I still had a fun time. I still miss making stuff and showing off my work, though.
-
Here's the pics I got from the two photoshoots. Didn't take any from the panel, though, sadly. Was too in awe of the brand new touhou player nearly perfecting Stage 1 Normal of DDC No Focus ("Hold shift to move more precisely!" *dies*)

And of course, the great performance from the Prismriver Sisters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qdFxwLwyc4

I didn't hop on IRC last night to tell everyone, but I did indeed make it home safely. o/
-
Ok, note to self; when crocheting pants, make them not look too bulgy next time.
-
This Otakon was a blast for me, saw lots of cool cosplays, even did one myself for once, and it felt like I had a hard time standing still with so many interesting things about.
Oh, and thanks Kilga for my new title, I loved that one at the photoshoot. :3
