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

Cosplay Pictures

I didn’t take as many cosplay pictures as I thought – only a dozen. Remind me to take more next time. Also, there is one which I don’t know who it is. If you figure it out, let me know.

Miss Yukari, Sakaki, Tomo, & Osaka from Azumanga Daioh	I’m actually not too sure. Very pink, though.
Even though this is an anime convention, you still find Stormtroopers here	Shadow Link from the Legend of Zelda game series
A pair of Haruhis from Ouran High School Host Club	Usagi from Sailor Moon and Sakura from Cardcaptor Sakura
Sora Naegino from Kaleido Star	Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist
Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket	Chii from Chobits and Hikaru from Angelic Layer
Kaname Chidori from Full Metal Panic	The box of Pocky

Panel Pictures

Only 5 of these. I took more, but not many turned out well. Apparently the flash on my camera only makes things worse…Oh well.

Waiting for the Vic and Steve show	Voice actors Vic Mignogna & Steven Blum (with some Otakon guy between them)
More Vic and Steve	A blurry Mamiko Noto with her translator

Arundel Mills Pictures

Arundel Mills is a huge mall near my hotel. I actaully took more pictures than this, but I thought it was overkill. 10 pictures of this.

The 24-screen theater from outside the mall	More theater, and the Books-A-Million, where my copy of Harry Potter 7 came from
Inside the mall	Who has seen a Burlington Coat Factory inside a mall before?
A Medieval Times, apparently the first one enclosed in a mall	Best Buy! Yeah!
Again, who sees Outdoor Worlds in malls?	The Baltimore Sun display
The huge fye (with an automatic ticket thing for the theater in the way)	You may not be ablet to tell it from the picture, but this is he biggest ice cream cone I’ve ever seen.

Other Pictures

Ok, the other pictures section actually only has one picture, and that is of the Potomic River driving home. Pretty good for a random shot out my window while driving down a bridge…
