Otakon and the MOST PHOTOS EVER; Do not ask me to LJ cut, it won't happen.
Otakon Report;
The Con of Over 9,000 Photoshoots.
Haha, okay, so I’m pretty sure my entire Saturday and Sunday was brim-full with running from one photoset to another. (Aah, I do think I warned some time in March that the summer months are photo-filled? So, sorry again for any photospam.)
Otakon was a blast. Very scattered, somewhat stressful at points, but I think the little relaxed moments, the laughter and the myspace moments made it all breathable and memorable and amazing. Otakon is always the con where there are so many people, you feel like you can’t get enough face time with everyone; but I was so, so, so pleased that I got to hang out with a TON of you, and often, at that. It made it all worth it.
It’s phenomenally difficult to highlight 78 hours riddled with absolute epic, but here goes.
Thursday:
--Heading down to Baltimore at Really Late O’Clock with Vishal. Inside jokes and naps on comfy pillows.
--Vishal’s Glitter Hat-DOES IT DAZZLE YOU?-loose on the Baltimore streets at night. Fabulous.
--“I’M FROM CANADA.” …Hahaha, drunk guys looking for dates. ;;; Only made more hilarious by the sheer number of pajama pants, underage girls, and Kit dressed as Belphagor at the time.
--Soda Candy and Hotel Room games of Mafia. What are the rules again, guys?
--“RACHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL.”
Friday:
--Waking up to a room full of awesome people and a right arm full of… Kit. 8D ♥ Only children aren’t used to being edged off the bed, haha, it was pretty funny.
--Bridal style rides around the con.
--Haxing massive lines, and celebrating with… toaster strudel?
--Meeting up with Sam. ♥ D’aaw she’s so sweet. Bumming Baltimore a bit at night, and never being able to view Jess’ hair the same way ever, ever again. .___.
--Delicious Milk and Moar DO I DAZZLE YOU NOW? Glittershoots.
--YA YA YA YA TSU TSU TSU TSU YO YO YO YO KA KA KA KA NANI NANI NANKAAAA?
--Dueting Roxanne with Twinkin while waiting at the Cheesecake Factory.
--Taking down ridiculous third parties who decide to step in and upset people I care about. SO THERAPUTIC TO LAY THE SMACKDOWN, YO. Burger King moment all over again, Dave.
--“Can I have a hug?” “That’s what I’m here for.”
--Jess + Portal = Hilarity OTP.
--“RACHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL.”
Saturday:
--Millefiore group of utter win and MUCH make-up. So Much Gangsta’ Glam.
--Moe Maid Jen being a Moe Maid. Some things use Mastercard. Some things are priceless. :D
--Margenes. Margieeens? MARJEANS? -That voice aiufhiauhfua. Let’s go make the commercials, asap. Super seller.
--Getting to hear Jess play the piano for me; the most delicate song I’ve heard in a while. So, so sweet, hon. That + Our epic gay fangirling was made of magic.
--Finally eating. Om nom delicious pizza, slippery ice, Moe Jen Chewing, crown stealing, Piggy Back Ride Races, break dancing, and most importantly, fierce sword battles.
--More mafia card games - WHAT ARE THE RULES AGAIN? DE JA VU-this time with poor mood music, twice the ku-fu-fuing, and combustible Pedobears.
--“Double Face”
--Couchtiems, full with the usual beatings and hijinks.
--“RACHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL.”
Sunday:
--You spin me right-round baby right-round; being spun around by the entire larp room. ♥ Excuse the cursing but, fuck, I love you guys.
--Enjoying a nice, casual lunch at… Hooters? O-orz, my cheeks.
--More photoshoots. Getting a Gokumommy and my lovely, lovely Prince being lovely, lovely.
--Margie being Thug with her tattoos. Ohsnap.
--Spending the rest of the evening with Vishal, Jess, Jen, Margie, Jia, and Lindsey. Another, more casual shoot, to the point where it was less like cosplay, and more like us. Being us. In wigs. Drinking tea rum. Obviously.
--Voyeuristic Hibird.
--Going to con security RPG style, full with sneaking, dark hallways, and creepy vestibules with slightly cold, smoky aftertastes, followed by breaking in (?) to a staff uber dinner. Delicious apple pie, overcooked beef, and minty green tea.
--Jen not beating me up for a whole hour, oh my gosh.
--EVENTUAL MARGIEBARI.
--Riding back with Vishal; Liberi Fatali, CECIL and PEMBERLY, random parking lot naps, rocking out 7th grade style, and general lulz. :D
And of course, the best highlight; everyone who went. I promised a lot of you I’d put up a list, since haha, I know everyone, and now you guys should know all of you too. :D So please look on this list, and see if you met up with one another at a con, and keep in touch, okay? ♥
Vishal __kaze__, Julie jubeichan, Dave sleepy_syusuke, Jess faith_xhymns, Jia fish_chan, Margie hitsuuji, Jen penguins_queen, Julie emulated, Megs meganubunny, Kit poisontea, Dana chibitifa, Mitch mitzusan, Goo~ googuru_girl, Alisha lautism, Sam attitudinize, Madi hatefulsarang, Mikoto Sapling, Finchy greyfinch, Stealthy funk_mastah_ion, Holly jantra , Linda shintotenshi02, Carrie neoangelwink - It was great to see absolutely all of you. If I missed anyone at the con, we’ll try to see each other soon, all right? And if someone you met didn’t have a LiveJournal, and thus, isn’t here, please poke me, and I’ll give you their AIM/MSN, all righty?
Thanks, guys. And now, ah-how about some a lot of photos? (Despite the fact that it wasn’t the only thing that any of us cosplayed, please note; most of these are Reborn flavoured photosets.)
WARNING: There are a SICK number of photos in this post. SICK, okay? A LOT. And a lot of them include me, so I apologize for the unattractive ahead of time. My friends make up for it a ton though. (: Please, please enjoy as much as we did.

PROS: Everything about this was a Pro. Jess’ photography is ace, getting to meet up with Sam and do this was just so damn cool that I have no coherent words-except, maybe, that I choked. =3 Ohoh.
CONS: Pelvic pain, being about 72 feet shorter than Sam, and of course, Jess losing her wallet some time after this. ):
