Otakon 2008 – The really tired quick re-cap.

Another Otakon is in the books. I spent probably an eqivalent of walking 1 entire day through the bcc and Baltimore. Perhaps I was too ambitious and didn’t get to everything that I wanted to do. Until cloning is possbile, I must be selective in what I want to do.

According to the closing ceremonies, attendance was at a record 26,000 people, which I’m certain will be eclisped by the new Hilton that will be open next year. It sure felt like 26,000 people, as I got shut out of many panels this weekend.

I had hoped to get more display photos, but the combo of waiting on lines and doing the panels that I could get really cut the time for that. If I ever decide to go to the New York Anime Fest, I might devote more time to that.

Other than that, my roomates were cool and I met some friends and got a lot of new twitter followers along the way. I’ll post more about the con and showcase some photos via Flickr once I get home and get rest after I step foot in Minneapolis. Speaking of Minny, I reveal more of that shortly.

Otakon 2008 – The calm before the storm

Once again with my iPhone since im too cheap to pay for Internet. I went into Baltimore with no problem. I knew you guys didn’t listen to me as much of you were out on line well before 5pm. I got online at 8 expecting to be quick, but that wasn’t the case. I waited about 30 minutes and passed the time with what is now a time honored Otakon tradition: DS Pictochat.

Not a lot of cosplayers out, so I refrained from doing so. Plus, I was too tired to shoot after all of the luggage I was carrying. So tommorow I don’t hold back on the photos.

If any of you out there use Twitter, please follow me for Otakon at ronaldhennessy. I’m going to bed right now. Good night!

The journey to Otakon 2008 – Come on ride the train, and ride it!

I’m out riding the rails, using my Wordpress App I got for my iPhone not long ago. Since typing on a small touchscreen can be tedious, I’ll keep this entry short. I’m little more than an hour away from Penn Station in NYC. From there, I will be taking another train to Penn Station In Baltimore. Yes, they are both named Penn Station and have no ideal why.

On the topic of Otakon, I’ve noticed a lot of twitter activity over the last few days. From nobodies to Anime collumists and bloggers, Otakon is being dicussed frequently. This will be my first time going to Otakon Twittering and blogging the event. I’m no Anime News Network or Japanator, I but hope to deliver my own brand of “coverage” in a fan freindly way.

My thumbs need a rest, so keep reading. For the small audience that is reading, thanks! I’m still building my blog rep and it will be a long time before I reach the peak.
