In which nerds attend conventions
After the uh...strange week on the island, Otakukukuthon was amazing! I had never been to a trilingual anime convention before, but to see so many people speak Japanese, English and French which I understood none of was really amazing.
A few people made fun of my name. There were many panels and workshops which I was able to attend and I took picture of all the digimon cosplayers for the Digimon Snap panel. I won second place and got a wall scroll.
And the Gundam panel it was...it was something else! Having the entire cast of Turn-A-Gundam was an experience I will never forget, they even answered my admittedly very nerdy question.
I even got a bit of fanart made, and there were a few girl artists offering a 'get yourself drawn as anime' pictures. Really cheap too! I ended up going over-budget again this year, but thankfully I'm used to sleeping on couches and catching a little shut eye here and then when I need it. It saved me up on hotel prices!
I hope everyone's last week was as interesting as mine.
