Otakon 2008: August 8-10, Baltimore, Maryland

[Kain]

Because it's never too early to make plans. :)

Alex and I have it penciled on the calendar. Next year we're looking to stay in the Inner Harbor for convenience's sake.

[Roark]

Mana and I are in. We're also looking to stay inner harbour. Just waiting for the hotel deals to be announce.

[Kain]

Oh, and my apologies if I seemed out of it at Otakon 2007 and not my usual gregarious self. Barring any physical ailment next year, I'll be right there in the thick of things...



... Kainy Special, anyone? Or maybe Thunder 'n Lightning, and I can throw my hands in the air as you chug it.

* Kain cracks knuckles and polishes rusty bartending skills.

[Niner]

Awwwwwright. Gotta have Bread on hand to whip up another Bready Special and we'll see which disgusting concoction gets pukeage first. xD

And yeah, Inner Harbor or bust next year. After two straight Otakon weekends of driving those wonderful (read: shitty) Baltimore streets, I've had quite enough.

[Mouse]

It's too early to tell, but I'd like to go again next year. This was more fun than I expected. And next time I am not going to miss the concerts! Even if it is another J-Pop kiddie group.

Oooh, you know what would be SO MUCH FUN?! If we, like, planned to go to restaurants REALLY far away from the BCC... AND NOT DRIVE TO THEM!! So much fun.

I'ma keels u.

[Roark]

ooh, you know what would be SO MUCH FUN?! If we, like, planned to go to restaurants REALLY far away from the BCC... AND NOT DRIVE TO THEM!! So much fun.

To be fair, the map ommitted like 20 streets.

[KiraraKim]

Yeah I always stay near the harbor. It's a lot more convenient that way. :)

[Niner]

. Oooh, you know what would be SO MUCH FUN?! If we, like, planned to go to restaurants REALLY far away from the BCC... AND NOT DRIVE TO THEM!! So much fun.

I'ma keels u.
wtfz, I didn't plan that! I don't even like seafood! Besides, it was that shitty map of Baltimore they provided in the program that threw everyone off. Making us think Obrycki's was actually closer than it was. That was not fun at all, for anyone.

But if we do plan to go to a restaurant that's more than a few blocks from the Inner Harbor, then I will drive people and make return trips if I have to, just to save dramaz and old people's (read: mouse and mira <3) legs. Worst comes to worst we could just sit down at Burke's again. That place wasn't so bad at all. :3

[Two-twenty]

As I said before count me tentatively in. If I do make it I will probably need some help in regards to hotels and travel and the fact that I don't speak American.

[Mouse]

2-20's gonna have so many fangirls swarming him. Even though I saw more yuri paddles than I did yaoi, you might want to watch out for those. :3

If one of those comes anywhere near my ass, so help me God...

[Dirty Harry]

Oh God 2-20 at Otakon. NOW I HAVE TO GO.

*starts fapping off as hard as he can* OH GOD 2-20 OH GOD YES

I might have to purchase myself a yaoi paddle to beat you to death with and then defile your corpse. <3


But yeah >_> I'm thinking I'll probably go again next year (NOT GOING WOULD FEEL WEIRD) but I was thinking about trying to room with people next year.

WHO KNOWS.

[Roark]

As I said before count me tentatively in. If I do make it I will probably need some help in regards to hotels and travel and the fact that I don't speak American.
Speaking American is easy. Just pretend the rest of the world doesn't exist.

For study guides, I recommend Fresh Prince of Bel Aire and Spike Lee movies.

[Kain]

As I said before count me tentativily in. If I do make it I will probably need some help in regards to hotels and travel and the fact that I don't speak American.

That's OK, most Americans speak conversational Australian. Thanks to your delightful ambassadors Paul Hogan and the Animal Planet, I find dropping a "crikey!" and the occasional "that's not a knife" while chugging a 20 oz. Foster's Lager often get the message across Down Unda.

[Le Bread]

Sage and I are already confirmed for 2008. May the good times roll.

[Tyrdium]

I'm definitely going, just need to figure out where I'm staying. I guess I have to wait on booking flights until I know where I'll be living next summer.

If one of those comes anywhere near my ass, so help me God...Fortunately, anyone who gets caught doing that will have his or her badge pulled. So, if anybody tries it... well, have fun. XD

[Erigion]

You people are so silly. Making plans a year in advance.

[sohryu]

You people are so silly. Making plans a year in advance.
So you're rooming with me again next year right?!?! Niner you too!

I'll make sure to bring the tiara and blue eyeshadow for Niner this time. =>

[Erigion]

Eri's gone Jewish!
No, I've gone lazy.

[Drake]

I'm tinkering with saving up money for a ticket to baltimore and hotel room. So I might show up. :O

[destruxto]

I'll be there >_>.

[Niner]

You are a bringer of LIES, des.

LIES.

;_;

[Kuzu Ryu Sen]

If I come, will you all cancel your reservations?

[Drake]

If I come, will you all cancel your reservations?

i won't. but expect to have soh clung to you all weekend.

[Niner]

i won't. but expect to have soh raping you all weekend.
Fix'd.

[Drake]

Fix'd.

eh?

[Two-twenty]

Oh yeah, forums prune.

As you know, I said that I wouldn't be coming to Tak Tak next year because of a potential contract teaching God's language in Moonrune-land, but I've made the decision that if I don't go travelling now, I probably won't for a long time. Thus, I've put off applying for JET by one year (should be less competitive then anyway) and upgraded my Tak Tak trip from a "probably not" to a "Yes, unless circumstance* doesn't allow me". Yayz.

*Examples of such circumstances include lack of money and a really well paying personal assistant/assistant teacher job happening at the same time.

2-20, I am making a pledge to maim and/or kill and/or shake my fist at anything that tries to stop you from coming >_>;

So that means... you don't want him to come? :confused:

No, I want him to come, which I think is fairly obviously from my totally-not-mod-abuse edits to my previous post and your quote thereof.

I'm tired, shut up D':

But yay for 2-20 coming to Tak nao! it will be my first goonmeet :3

Ha ha! Now DH doesn't get all the attention.

Saying you owe an Australian beers? (Note: plural). Brave man.

You need to go to more. They are made of win and alcohol.

Sounds like I need to get in on this club D:

[Tyrdium]

[LadySage]

This announcement makes my day happy. I was kinda bummed over missing AX, but having 2-20 at Otakon totally makes up for it. :D

P.S.: Let's skip all that silly animu and just fangirl/boy over Avatar the whole time what do you think, fanbuddy :D

AND DH SHALL RECEIVE ALL MY ATTENTION!!!

[destruxto]

DC or bust! >_>;;

[Erigion]

des talks a big game, but he doesn't back it up.

[ProfessorWashu]

I´d like to place out a question about Otakon in general. What sort of atmosphere for cosplay is there? I would figure it´s not particularly frowned upon (probably encouraged) but I don´t know if there are any special RULES for a cosplayer (like if there are any taboos.)There´s no thread for cosplay, and I figured a convention thread might be a good place to ask. Could a wise and seasoned cosplayer out there help this greenhorn get her first field experience started right?

[Mana]

Well, different conventions have different cosplaying policies. Most won't allow A) Real weaponry, B) overly large props C) over amounts of skimpyness/nudity.

As far as Otakon specifically goes, they have a very open atmosphere about cosplay. All the above rules apply, but other than that, just about anything goes. Some cosplays are, of course, going to be more popular than others (e.g.; Final Fantasy, FMA, Kingdom Hearts, Chii from Chobits, Silent Hill, etc.) but you'll see just about anything if you look hard enough.

As far as "unofficial" rules/taboos and such goes, there's not much that I know of. I've seen so many different cosplays/crossplays, it makes my head spin, and there isn't anything I can think that that's really been hated or frowned upon by the community at large.

Mostly, it depends on the kind of crowd you're going to be with and the kind of people you want to be meeting and talking to you. Dressing like a yaoi catboy will get you loved in some circles and get you beaten up in others, even at the same convention.

My advice? Do what you like and what you feel comfortable with. I've done cosplay for a number of years now, and I've found that the most important thing is having fun. Pick a character you like and a custome you'll be comfortable in and make the most of things. You'll be surprised who you'll meet and the enjoyment you'll have with it.

[ProfessorWashu]

Thank you for the advice. But I do have one question about your response. What is crossplay? Would that be like if a guy decided to go as a female character or if a girl went as a guy character? (Maybe I'm being a bit dense about something obvious...) If so, is that really not frowned upon? I would've figured that would make a majority of people angry. Isn't that considered weird?

[DarkKanti]

What is crossplay? Would that be like if a guy decided to go as a female character or if a girl went as a guy character?

Bingo.

If so, is that really not frowned upon? I would've figured that would make a majority of people angry. Isn't that considered weird?

The anime community is fairly liberal about things like cross dressing and the like. I don't think most people would take offense to it as they would most likely take it as a joke.

[Mana]

Yes, you're right.

It doesn't really make people angry, though it does make some roll their eyes. Of course, it does depend on how its done, too. I've actually seen some really awesome crossplay (my friend Carmen makes a great female Spike), but it has to be done artistically.

Kanti is right, though. Generally speaking, anime fans (especially those that attend conventions) are very liberal-minded. Even "family friendly" conventions like SakuraCon in Seattle allow crossplaying/dressing, so long as it is done tastefully and respectfully.

[ProfessorWashu]

Ah. Cool! Maybe I'll try it sometime. Sounds like a lot of fun. Thanks for all your help, you guys.

[Mouse]

Here's a little taste of Otakon and crossplay for you (also DH's favorite video from Otakon):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KxYRH97e38

[ProfessorWashu]

Now that was impressive. Until he threw that wig off, you TOTALLY couldn't even tell it was a guy. I also liked the attitude the people had toward the performance. I have a close friend who wants to go to Otakon with me one year, and he wants to go as Tifa Lockheart. I was worried about him, but after seeing that, I'm cool as a cucumber. Thanks, guys.

I ain't no trap. Go find that guy you enjoyed filming so much.

Oh, come on erig. DH can't have enjoyed it that much. After all, he only got a semi from watching him dance instead of a full on raging BONER.

Dun werry, I got yo' back DH!

;_; Nothing can take back what I've... done...

[Le Bread]

Oh yeah, I'll be there. 100% Confirmed. Even if I end up rooming with the Pet Forum Goons that LS totally knows, you guys are going to get more of the trademark loudness that a live Bread-O concert entails for another year.

[Sago]

I'll definitely be there (it'll be my second year). I was a Lulu (from FFX) last year, but I'm going to be:

- BioChemist (Ragnarok Online)
- Rozalin (Disgaea 2)
- Yuuko (xxHolic)

Currently, my friend is making a full evangelion (01) costume, but we have to do a full sized cast of her. I particularily like cosplay in Otakon because everyone is so open to all the cosplays (someone went as Kool-Aid last year, ect).

I'm really excited. :3 Our group is planning to get a charter bus for anyone in the New York City area to hop along with us.

[Ender]

When Kageyama takes the stage in his stretchpants, focus any cameras you might bring on me. You will see a man openly weeping with joy.

[KiraraKim]

Wow I wasn't even sure if I was going to go this year. Now I have to make sure to go (at least for the day of the concert).

[Two-twenty]

"Yes, unless circumstance* doesn't allow me".

*Examples of such circumstances include lack of money and a really well paying personal assistant/assistant teacher job happening at the same time.

lack of money

Yeah, I have house-moving debts (bad time to be moving house in Oz at the moment), vehicle repair bills, a credit card to pay off and apparently I owe the government money. That, and due to inflation and the cost-of-living in Australia at the moment making it very hard to be a city-dwelling-renting-self-supporting-part-time-student, I'm going to have to cancel my end-of-uni Tak Tak holiday plans in favour of rescuing my credit history.

Sorry guys. :(

[Zelkiiro]

For me to say "I'm going!" at this point...

It's beyond the realm of fleeting dream; it's absurdity.

There's always next year 2-20. Start saving now!

At least destruxto is still going. >_>

[Shadowmage]

Kain might as well make a black market for those passes.

[C0MPL3X]

The disturbing thing about Shino's sig is that the girl's actually Kyon from TMoSH...except um yea you can see what's changed.

[Kuzu Ryu Sen]

Geez, you'd think a female version of Kyon would look more Haruhiish and less pedololi Nagatoish.

[C0MPL3X]

If I remember correctly, they changed Itsuki's sex as well and he looked more like Haruhi with larger curves and those gay smiles (well...I guess it's technically not gay now. Just plain weird).

[KiraraKim]

Getting more OT here but I don't understand the fascination with the gender swap thing with Haruhi Suzumiya.

[Zelkiiro]

Geez, you'd think a female version of Kyon would look more Haruhiish and less pedololi Nagatoish.
I PREFER THE PEDOLOLI NAGATO LOOK, SHANK EWE VELLY MATCH.

[Mana]

Yes, yes, we're all very amused. Back to Tak Tak talk now plz?

[Mouse]

lol. You guys are da best <3



So has everyone registered yet?!

Oops, knew I was forgetting to do something. Well, that and get a plane ticket... >.>

[KiraraKim]

What's the rush to register it's still about 4 months away?

You have until July 11th to get the Online rate and save a whole $10 ;)

[Tyrdium]

So has everyone registered yet?!Pffft, nope.

I will be coming, though! Otakon syncs up nicely with the end of my internship, so all I have to do is take Amtrak from DC to Baltimore and return to Boston from BWI. Convenient.

That said, I'm not sure exactly what my schedule will be. Worst-case scenario, I arrive later on Friday. I'm going to see about ending on Thursday, though, which means I'd arrive in time for prereg pickup.

So... who's got extra space in a room? :D

[destruxto]

Tak or bust!

[Niner]

You're a damned dirty LIAR, des!

[Le Bread]

Sage and I are officially registered. See you people in August.

[Quantum Fluxx]

Possibly going as well. I'm leaning towards it anyways. Though I dont think any of you know who I am :D

[Kuzu Ryu Sen]

Possibly going as well. I'm leaning towards it anyways. Though I dont think any of you know who I am :D

And the earth opened up; its flames consuming men and beast alike; and those who saw were amazed, and did cry to the heavens in horror at the future to come.

[Drake]

Possibly going as well. I'm leaning towards it anyways. Though I dont think any of you know who I am :D

i do =P

[Mouse]

The Canadians are coming! The Canadians are coming!!

:0

[KiraraKim]

Kappei Yamaguchi is coming to Otakon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Needless to say this announcement got me to finally register.

[Mouse]

Omg Inuyasha!

<333333333333

[Tyrdium]

So... anyone have some open floorspace in a room near the con center? :3

[Tyrdium]

Man. Is #aa even working anymore? I can't connect to Otherside.

Anyways, bump to see if anyone has space.

[Le Bread]

LS and I do not this year. Last I checked, we're at the mercy of the kindness of some of her friends from another forum.

[Le Bread]

So now Otakon has announced that they've invited Peter Fernandez, the original voice of Speed Racer and Racer X, who was also the director of the oft parodied dub and writer of it's very memorable themetune. As a fan of the oldschool, I'm just absolutely giddy at this news.

I mean, between this and Jam Project, you'd almost think Otakon was DESPERATE for my $55 registration fee. It's cool guys, you don't have to keep trying so hard, I signed on to be there two months ago.

[Drake]

Man. Is #aa even working anymore? I can't connect to Otherside.

hm, interesting. not able to connect? perhaps its your client. PM me and i can try and troubleshoot it for you.

[Tyrdium]

hm, interesting. not able to connect? perhaps its your client. PM me and i can try and troubleshoot it for you.Eh, doubt it's my client; just a simple "sudo aptitude install xchat". irc.neovanglist.net, right?

[Tyrdium]

... oh, hey. It just dawned on me now (yes, I'm a dumbass) that I can commute from DC via train if I have to. Now I don't have to worry quite so much about rooming. Huzzah!

Thinking about volunteering as a gofer this time around. Anybody interested in joining me?

[Niner]

Uh sure, if you don't want to be able to do anything fun, Tyr. The few I've talked to said they were worked to the bone. :/

And I don't think the MARC train runs on the weekends.

[Tyrdium]

Uh sure, if you don't want to be able to do anything fun, Tyr. The few I've talked to said they were worked to the bone. :/

And I don't think the MARC train runs on the weekends.Hrm. Maybe I should avoid volunteering, then. It looks like I could do a minimum of 8 hours, but I don't know about scheduling and working it around stuff I want to do. :-/

Anyways. The MARC doesn't run on weekends, but Amtrak does. At about $33 round trip, it's not too bad (since I wouldn't be paying rooming costs). It would put a damper on late-night stuff, though, since the latest train is at 11:30ish PM unless I want to take the 3:00ish AM.

[Niner]

Pfah, 3AM is fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine. Stay for the (hopefully not lame) late night hentai stuff, get out at 1-ish, booze around for a couple of hours, hop the 3AM train. It's perfect!

[Roark]

If only I were 21. >_>
That's what fake ID's are for.

Oh, and it's official now: Mana and I are out. We have too much stress/bills/little time to really make it this year.

[ultbaka]

Looks like I'll be going for the first time this year.

Upon looking at the dealers room, I admit that I gave out a girly :squee:

Now I just wonder how much food I should bring with me from NY. HMM...

:couch:

[Elric]

Well, looks like I will be finally go to Otakon for the first time this year. It is partially thanks to JAM Project playing that would motivate me to do this. I talked to a friend who s going, and managed to let me share a room in Days Inn. I have been a quiet member for quite a while, but I still think many of you are cool. I like to meet you guys during the con. :)

[Dirty Harry]

Oooooooh my Gaaaaaaaaaaaaawd. The sunday musical acts all look terrible and to top if off I see some Japanese comedian is going to be there too?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEb7QDl3t-E ENJOY RAGUKO

[Tyrdium]

Schedule's up.

Also, cellphones. Should probably trade numbers.

[Le Bread]

Jam Project. Friday. 7:30 P to 10:30 P. That's all the information I need.

[KiraraKim]

Jam Project. Friday. 7:30 P to 10:30 P. That's all the information I need.

Yay I am really excited it's a late night concert this year. :D

[Elric]

for those who like to add me.

1-347-207-8369

As long as you inform me who you are and all, I'm cool with it. I still got your info Kim, unless you changed it. ;)

And yayz JAM Project. The main reason I am going in the first place.

[Ender]

Ara ra,

Looking forward to hopefully meeting with you all this weekend. First thing I'm gonna do is treat myself to a Bready Special. ^_^

[KiraraKim]

So what panels/events is everyone planning on going to? It might be easier to meet up with people if we are going to the same thing anyways. As of right now I plan to go to:

The Kappei Yamaguchi Q/A panel (at least the one on Friday maybe the one on Saturday too)
Maybe Funimation Panel
Bandai Panel
Jam Project Concert
Industry-Fansub Panel
Last Unicorn Panel on Sunday
Maybe ADV Panel on Sunday

[Le Bread]

My shortlist of panels at this point is:

Jam Project Concert
Peter Fernandez Q&A
Funimation Panel
MediaBlasters Panel
Bandai Panel
One of the Tokusatsu fanpanels
Slumming it with Ender and Dirty Harry.

[Dirty Harry]

MY LIST:

JAM Project Concert.


Thazzit.

[Elric]

Forgot to reply earlier, but yeah. Aside from JAM Project, I got nothing else in mind. I'll see how things go. Heading out later today. Hope to meet all of you.

[Niner]

Going to the JAM Project in like 50 minutes, should be fun. >.>

Oh, and FUNi finally gave us a release date for Ouran, those rat bastards. First set (eps 1-13) is out on Oct 28th. English Tamaki sounds homo. :p

[Mouse]

So did everyone have fun? I did. Thanks, you crazy IRCeers. DH is lurve. <3

My only regret is not enough time in the dealer's room. :(

[laborpilot86]

I watched the Industry-fansub panel on ANN...very interesting...

any thoughts?
