[Convention] Otakon

[drinian]

The convention schedule is out, and that means it's time to make my usual "who's going" post.

EM and Reichu's panel sounds particularly interesting this year... I wish they hadn't scheduled you opposite Saturday Night Fan Parodies (which starts after the Masquerade ends, wtf?) but hopefully there will still be a crowd.

Also woefully missing, as far as I can tell, is the "Your Favorite Anime Sucks" panel.

And is it just me, or have they finally given in and decided only to show licensed anime?

Anyway, the lineup still looks a lot better than AX's -- so, who's going and do you want to meet for lunch or dinner sometime?

[Reichu]

ME ME ME! I'M GOING!!!

...what?

EM and Reichu's panel sounds particularly interesting this year...

Well, I'll do what I can to meet that expectation... (SO MUCH TO DO SO LITTLE TIEM.)

Re: the schedule -- ZOMGWTF THOSE BASTARDS. Well, at least we have an "18+" label and the parodies don't. But that still kind of sucks. Does that mean I can't attend ReDeath this year?

do you want to meet for lunch or dinner sometime?

Aside from the panel and harassing "Natchan" about his accent, I have no obligations. "Count me in."

[Fearthebait]

I wish I could make it. Give me chance to try out my E7 cosplay. But then again people just assume all American cosplay sucks so nevermind.

And your panel's in the middle of the night, too. Oh, joy.

Anyway, the Tenant of Room 404 will be attending. In character, obviously, and in costume if I can find enough shirts.

[Omegagouki]

I preregged, but didn't get the funding to actually go. Too bad, maybe next year (then again, I've said that every year for the past three years)... Still, I'm going to miss a bit of fun it seems, especially concerning the Eva panel. :( Ah well, ah well...

[Mr. Tines]

If I thought I would get there without the latex glove treatment for travelling while bearded...

And if air travel weren't such a double strength purgatory these days -- not that it was any better than purgatory last century.

[CorporalChaos]

Actually, I was planning to attend next year's, since I don't have the money to get out there this year. But a friend and I are planning to make the trip out there next year. but my brother and his friends may be coming to, and my car is gonna be crowded...

Looks fun though, I really hope I can make it next year.

Pics, I beg of you. :(

Hell, pics of everybody from EMF going!


(and @ Reichu: Who's Natchan?)


@ Steve: lol, I think?

[V]

what's everything that will be talked about at the panel? (other than the "stuff you probably missed" video clip montage)

[Omegagouki]

@ V

From what I've noticed from the clip request thread, Eva hentai will also be a point of discussion at the panel. As for anything else, Reichu and Monkey aren't talking. ^^;

[Reichu]

Who's Natchan?

You probably have enough information to figure it out.

Regarding the panel: Well, perk of going to Otakon is that you get to attend and find out what we're doing... And watch me spaz out from trying to do something new, prepared in a very short period of time.

Speaking of which...

Oh god, here comes more Eva art.

EDIT: Sorry Reichu

[Reichu]

Oh god, here comes more Eva art.

Most of it is too old and crappy for me to want to show it off.

BTW, CC, you may want to check out the bold-face blazing red font in my sig... :sighs:

[V]

what about the crippling fear of public spaces? ("you mustn't run away...) :)



I mean I've got the whole cloak'n'dagger thing going....people love that.

[Knoxer]

*sigh* I gotta wait till next year... I'll def. be going then, unless my WoW guildies can get together at Gencon. But Otakon is #1 right now.

[drinian]

The operative word is "most."

Does that mean I can't attend ReDeath this year?

Seems like it's usually one of the first ones they show, so... maybe.

Does anyone want to meet up after the ADV Q&A on Saturday, somewhere outside of the room it's in? The panel runs 1-2 PM. I should be pretty easy to find; look for my black/red Magi "EMERGENCY" tshirt. Curious to meet BobBQ.

Oh, and do you guys have anything to do with the "Angsty Teens and Giant Robots" panel that's scheduled right before yours?

[Sailor Star Dust]

.....AUGH, they have a panel on PGSM! :(

[CorporalChaos]

Man, I'd like to attend some of those drawing workshops. My friend and I are planning to work on a manga during our lunch period at school.

I'll be there, unless an extreme need for panel preparation rears it's ugly head.

STARDUST WANTS TO KNOW HOW MANY EOE VAGZINS REICHU COUNTED TOTAL. WAS IT TREE-FIDDY OR MOAR?

(I'm acting stupid because I'm just that happy the boards are back! ....Yes, I have no life.)
