Otakon was super fun. It was a lot of running around and doing stuff and no sleep. My highlights would be
-Getting to see a lot of the dubbers/directors of different animes (including the voice of the Major and director of cowboy bebop, the voice of Alucard, and Krillin).
-The raves on Friday and Saturday.
-The concert by Becca, which was one of the main events I wanted to see.
-Our roommate winning the Game Show for the 4th year in a row. Go Doug!
-Seeing all the awesome costumes, my favorite was Miaka and Yui in their Suzaku and Seiyu no miko costumes.
-All the rediculous games going on the entire time.
-Completing the quest the pirate gave us and getting candy. We got Sepheroth to kill Aeris.
-Getting a Grunty finally and people going balls crazy whenever they saw it. (seriously people, i just bought it at the dealers room)
-Having video game cosplayers stand in front of their own games while people were playing them.
I just can't think of everything. There was too much.
But, here's 457 pictures:

I know what I want to dress as next year...and I think a lot of people are going to be surprised/disgusted. It's going to take a lot of work....
The bad part of Otakon was the traffic coming home, it took us 9 or 10 hours instead of the 5 1/2. It was redonculous.
In other news my stand up bass is the awesome. I'm loving playing it. I'm waiting for my second reader to get my thesis back to me. Waiting sucks. My band is playing in NY on Thurs and on Saturday. I'm not super stoked about the Thursday show. We were at this place before and the people were not super freindly. I don't know why we're going back.
Current Animes: Finished Index recently. Now I'm watching Black Cat.
Index is very good. Black Cat is ok.
