Otaku-con virgin

[goneroundthebend]

sigh...I finally did it. My first 'con. It really was kind of fun. Not that big, no really big lines...at least when *I* finally got there, 2 rather large rooms...one room with vendors of all sorts showing manga, anime, toys, plushies, kimono, sundry cos-play outfits and accessories, hentai manga--the other mostly consisting of the artist row--and add on another 8 or so small rooms for lectures, demos, gaming and videos. No names there that I really recognized except for maybe TokyoPop, but still quite fun. (No Dom or Piro...darn...) ~_~ The cos-play was actually the most entertaining part of the afternoon.

I guess I was kind of in costume for a particular character, but I'm not sure anyone would have really picked up on it. ANYway, I'll be back there tomorrow to pass through the artist row again and have another look-see at the auction tables.

I picked up a flier for the 'con in the DC/MD region next year, but from what I've heard that con is a *beeeeg* one with lines and crowds galore...hmmm...who knows...
