I was fully intending to go since last year, but I just did my hotel arrangements (staying in the BWI area again. Cheaper and the only real negative is that the light rail stops running around midnight), so I guess you can call it “official” now. Now that I have more time to plan what I’ll do with my podcast at Otakon, maybe I’ll do more stuff with it.
I could probably get away with applying for a press pass at Otakon (no guarantee that I could get it. I only have half the unique visitors as they had in their 2007 guidelines, but they also said that it was only guidelines and not a requirement. Now if I was “web based press” and not a blog, I’d meet the guidelines…) but then I’d feel obligated to do things like interview people, which I’ve never done before and I’m not sure how good of an interviewer I’d be. At least I could get front row seats at panels lol. I may try to expand how much I write up what I saw over last year, though.
I still wish that the BCC itself had wireless internet that I could just hop on, and then I could really live blog the convention, but oh well. I’m guessing people will have to wait until I get back to the hotel.
you planning of bringing your girl with you? NICE BOAT! CHEERS!
What girl?
your girlfriend? LOL!
will man-faye be around? XD
>>your girlfriend? LOL!< <
Exactly. What girl? lol
>>will man-faye be around? XD<<
Oh god I hope not, since one of my “no one never ever ever ever EVER! do” things I got from Otakon was guys dressing as female characters unless they can legitimately pull it off lol.
Of course “unless they can legitimately pull it off” may go for all cosplayers for that matter. It’s just that guys dressing up as female characters that don’t work usually causes the most cases of blindness.
I just hope I can identify like, more than 10% of the characters people dressed up at.
I found how far I still have to go in catching up on my past anime watching when I went last year and I was like “OK, I don’t know who, like, 80% of these characters are.”
hehehe… man-faye, LOL!
