Default Otakon 2008

Was anyone at Otakon this year? I went on the last day. I was primarily interested in buying stuff, so I figured I'd wait till Sunday when it's only $25 to get in hehe. I decided to collect figurines, so I figured Otakon would be a good place to get stuff. I was actually kinda disappointed. Most of the dealers had the same stuff as the others, and it was mostly just popular title stuff. I did find several I liked though:




My buddy said I looked like I was getting home from a nerd shopping spree:


Hehe. So did anyone else go? Was there anything cool going on aside from the dealers' room? I didn't really take the time to investigate, I had a bunch of other stuff to do today. Saw alot of cosplay. Some was pretty good, most was meh. Best was two guys doing Trigun, Vash and Wolfwood. Looked very good. Great costumes that fit properly, good props and accessories and their bodies were proper size/build for the characters. Only real problem was Vash's hair was a bit too short. Wish I had my camera but I forgot and left it in the car.

No, but I went to Anime Boston '08. I won't be uploading the video w/o the tapers permission though

I didn't pay for the ticket, but no1 stopped me since it was so full . Not like i'm a rebel... I just didn't wanna wait for that line -_-

I, myself, refused to buy anything. It was all too expensive and I was almost broke...

nope, but would have been interesting if could.. But I live so far from any kind of anime thing, that it's not worth the cost to go to them ...

One downside of living in the middle of nowhere and liking anime ...

Well I would like to go but it's just too far away for me >.< , that said apparently DB (Dattebayo subs) is having a moderated discussion with some major people in the anime industry. I would have liked to see that ^^
