Otakon Report . . .

[carmacao]

 Yesterday:
Left house at approximately 6:40 am
Arrived at Otakon.
My agenda:
-Workshop: How to Make your own anime at home (AKA "How to use photoshop and a tablet to animate in 8 months with your superior drawing technique -__-)
-Wandering around the Dealer's Hall
-KANON WAKESHIMA CONCERT:
The wait was really long but it was worth it. The opening band

AHHHHHHHHHH I HATE YOU I REALLY WANTED TO GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE KANON WAKESHIMA!

see what summer does to me? my sanity and cool demeanor has up and left me. hahahahahahaha cool demeanor who am i fooling. cool demeanor my foot. honestly.

YES I AM SO COMING WITH YOU NEXT TIME. JUST TELL ME HOW TO GET THERE AND WHEN AND WHERE AND WHAT THE HECK EVER.

AND I AM SO GOING TO COSPLAY AS ... wait, i don't think i watch enough anime anymore to really cosplay as anyone...

but, here's some cool news. i'm learning embroidery (and soon, hopefully how to sew) in hopes of one day designing and making my own clothes/costumes/cosplay.
cool, right?

Uh . . . you can certainly come next year!
It's always in mid/late summer in the Baltimore Convention Center (kinda long drive)
Next year, I'm gonna cosplay, but not as a character . . . I was thinking of going as a member of Psycho Le Cemu (a band I like that played infectious pop rock and wore ridiculous costumes) I'm not too much into anime anymore either to tell the truth . . .
Embroidery? That's awesome!
I always felt like a freak, being the only boy who knew how to sew in middle school . . . but my family consumer science grades were really good!
Oh, and I've been reading a lot of Ray Bradbury lately and I'm wondering why the hell I never picked up those books earlier!

[mokushi_saiki]

oh, yes, why on earth have you not read anything by Ray Bradbury?? he's my favorite author for a reason, you know. Have you read Something Wicked This Way Comes yet? it's really good, and perfect for late summer or Halloween. Oh, and you should also read The Martian Chronicles, also by Ray Bradbury.

ohh, please, boys who know how to sew are cool. Both my dad and my grandfather know how to sew; it's very useful.

I had read Fahrenheit 451!!
And I just read The Martian Chronicles . . .
Thanks . . . I used to feel weird about cooking too, until the lunch I brought to school was better than everyone else's :P
