I finally post the pictures I took at Otakon. Since this post is pretty image heavy, all of them are in the extended area of the post, so just click “Read More” to see them. Oh yeah, and scary, it’s the post with ID #666 (images I upload through wordpress also get IDs, thus why the ID is larger than the total number of posts).
Also, if you want to see bigger versions of the picture, just click on it.
Finally, there are several image sections:
- Cosplay
- Panels
- Baltimore Convention Center
- Dealer’s Room
- The bounty I collected at Otakon
- City of Baltimore
- Arundel Mills, a mall close to my hotel
- Other

Cool Josh! I’ve been to that part of Baltimore. Most recently a while back for a Cousin’s wedding.
Maybe I’ll get ambitious and go to the con at some point. I’m going to Katsucon next weekend….driving back and forth each day since I live about 30 minutes away.
I’ve also just started listening to your podcast and enjoy it.
