So. I mean, I am now pretty excited about anime conventions now that I have been to Ohayocon. I really really want to attend Otakon this year, and that's a real possibility for me because I have family in Maryland, and we generally visit during the summer.
What I want to know is, is anyone else thinking about going? It's July 29-31 in Baltimore, for planning purposes.
I know Ben says he has been before, and Bethany lives in Virginia and has some friends there who have been before (and thus she might just have one more reason to go now).
All I am saying is, why can't i have a Dave butler too> we should be cool kids and coordinate if a few of of us are going to be there. Like, "hey, I'll get in to Baltimore at 2 pm! Should we meet up at X location and then move on to Y activity?"

Otakon..... well, it's a maybe at this point? Transport being the biggest hang-up/what-if. Since I know I'm gonna be in Leesburg VA working at a summer camp, it is much more plausible than if I was in Cleveland, I guess. And I could conceivably leave for the con around noon on Saturday and would have to be back in Leesburg from the con at noon on Sunday (silly job) But the thing is, no car. Barring finding some other Otaku at my camp and driving someones car down, my best bet is to politely suggest/ campaign that the camp staff take an excursion to Baltimore that Saturday, since we always go to Baltimore one weekend or another. If I can rally for it being Otakon weekend, well, I'll be there and can totally go to the con no problem (if only for an afternoon and evening, since we would leave Late Saturday evening). Even six hours at this con would be amazing and more than worth the plotting needed to make it work, so THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN!!! (rushes off to visit the camp staff website and try to make this happen.......)^_^

Okay okay now I am getting serious because I am in the middle of making a shiny new cosplay and I really want to use it sometime this summer. I am tentatively putting it out there that my brother would be up there with me and would be attending the con and would have his car so picking you up would possibly be possible. I am 90% sure going to Otakon this summer is a thing for me.

(If otakon happens I might have a new, improved, more-accurate-ish version of my Ritsu to bring with (or kim... the kim dress seems like a good summer option...)!!! And I'm probably gonna have a Trucy or Lotta from Ace Attorney by Ohayocon!!) |

100% confirmed, I will be able to attend Otakon. I finally got a job, so I'll buy my pass or whatever they call it (membership?) as soon as my check deposits.
Shiny new cosplay I'm working on is a character from Homestuck, a webcomic I've been trying to get Ben to read for months. I'd like to have at least one more cosplay to do on a different day, but we shall see. Then again, I do have quite a good amount of time to work on it. So, chances are good.
Ben's not posted here, but he is going to be there. I think we should discuss hotels to stay in. Kate, you said some hotel filled up already? I'm assuming it was a good one.

well, when I was talking hotels I was talking for Ohayocon, not Otakon (too similar, gosh darn it). Look for me to get Ohayocon stuffs sorted out ASAP when we get back, though. Also, I'm still not sure this would work considering I've got work until Saturday at noon and have to be back at camp ready to work again at noon on Sunday.... so, probably not the best for you all. And my camp staff apparently went to Baltimore this weekend. So Otakon weekend... no Baltimore for me  |
