Hey, the more RL people I see at AUSA, the better. I saw you last year, didn't I?

I didn't go to Otakon this year either.

I wanted to go to Otakon this year, because I really miss seeing people, but I'm sort of across an ocean.

Of course I do... I guess it just slipped my mind because I only checked the last couple days before I posted.

I should try to get an Archer costume together, I've been wanting to do him for a while. If I do, you've gotta let me hang out with you if you're going as Saber/Dark Saber :) Are you planning to go to AUSA?

I went to Otakon last year and it was like someone robbed me while I was paying attention...I was aware of all of the money changing hands, but something in my brain couldn't process spending 60 bucks to go inside a large warehouse where there were zero deals and lots of smelly fanboys. It literally held no appeal to me whatsoever, despite my love of anime, manga and all things Japanese. It was strange, because I went to the Baltimore Comicon last year just a few weeks after and paid next to nothing to get in, and found myself in a sea of deals and great artists. The set up of that con was exponentially better than this one AND they even had Anime/ Manga for cheap! The only thing missing from this con was half the population of gross fanboys and yaoi. Both of which I am happy to live without...

Check it out if you get the chance.

Like I said, I hate Otakon. That's why I like the smaller conventions like Katsucon and Anime USA. I do want to go check out comicon some time, and I hear dragoncon (comic book convention) is a ton of fun.

Someone posted pics of their Otakon adventures, and while 99% of them were lame, I would've gone just to meet L!!! <3
