[Shizumarashi Mayuzumi]

GET HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE

I'm goiiiiiiiiiiing.

And cosplaying. (The Saturday one was my Tekko cosplay too.)

And probably trying out for the talent show because eh why not. :V

#sl represent

feel kinda shitty about not pulling myself together for it, but it can't be that hot in maryland, sweatshirts will cover my ugly.

...right?

[yuyukos]

I need an autograph from Hayami Saori something fierce, but I don't think I'll be going. :ohdear:

[Edible]

We've occasionally had highs of 100+ for otakon in the past :v

Between AWA and Miku Expo my money is already tied up, so no.

OtaHYPE

Gonna bust out a BRAND NEW COSPLAY for Ota. Look forward to seeing the people that can make it.

[Reddyne]

AAAAH! Dunban should be set after mainlining it over the weekend I hope. Everything else got a nice touch-up, too. Yay, better make-up! It should be fun to go from short skirt-wearing KD Youmu one day to tough-as-nails gentleman Dundun the next.

We have had people suffer from heat exhaustion due to warm clothing. Seriously, I'd stick to a shirt and shorts.

See, THIS is appropriate cosplay for the weather.

Excuse me, but crocs aren't appropriate anywhere. Making Dundun an agi-tank is the way to go, though.

Also I will be adopting Helvetica's spare 3DS and would like to start collecting friend codes if it so pleases anyone. I will probably spend a few hours puzzling over its lack of grey brickiness and how the graphics are not all dot-matrixy.

[Edible]

So it's in two weeks or something but otakon's still slacking when it comes to announcing musical guests.  Unless the only one we're getting this year is ALTIMA.

Yeah no this is a bad idea trust me.

I'm wearing a seasonally appropriate outfit for the first time in years OHOHO  :V

Spoiler:

it is still not yet started ohnono

 
Also submitting a shitton of pieces for the Art Auction and trying to help MJP come up with material for ~the talent show~ as well.  BUSY BUSY BUSY.

[Edible]

What the heck.  I swear that never showed up in my otakon news feed.  :V

[Shizumarashi Mayuzumi]

One of mine is weather-appropriate!

_{(Well, mostly, t-shirt but jeans not shorts.)}

[SirSlarty]

I'm going.

Cosplaying Touhou, can't decide who yet...
Sanae, Suwako, Kaguya, Keine, Remilia, Byakuren, Kosuzu, Yuki

[triangles]

ALL OF THEM
AT ONCE

Wear whichever one you will melt least in seriously it's gonna be toasty.

[Edible]

Something to keep in mind about Otakon is the convention center is right off the water, so not only will it be 90 degrees outside, it'll be super humid as well.

[Rin Kagamine]

Be sure to bring your own water, as you do have to go outside for ICE COLD WATER and we've established that outside at Otakon = death

Hope it'll be better once it's down in DC

[Edible]

The best thing about otakon in DC is I won't have to get a hotel anymore

[Rin Kagamine]

DC is also way better than Baltimore so I might actually go again!

I thought about doing that  :V

I cosplayed Suwako when it was 101?F in 2011 and it wasn't too bad.

That was the same year I cosplayed KD Meiling which I stupidly made out of twill. It was also the same year I got 40 hours of work in before 3 o'clock on a Thursday and hopped aboard a cramped train for Balty an hour later, coasting into town at OMG o'clock.  I spent the majority of the con in a haze and/or one unfortunate situation or another.

WORTH IT.

[Kiro]

Yoshiki?! Fffffffff

No more vacation hours to make it to Otakon this year.

At the rate things are going, the badge is soon to be more expensive than a share of a six-person hotel room anyway.

Good lord, it was expensive already. Guess I may have to stick to AB in the future.

I still want to go to eagle's.

(also no worries I was never seriously planning to wear a sweatshirt. I'm suddenly terrified though. ;w;)

[Edible]

Just wear a toga.
