Yeah... ZGL is pretty much right... Almost any and all types of questions have been asked and correctly answered somewhere on these forums and their very easy to locate normally XD Since youve already gone once and have gotten the hard part of preperation out of the way (beating the idea of the cons shear size into your skull) there isnt much more you can prepare for except for maybe learning about a few small details you may have missed along the way But then again every year is a new year and brand new and exciting events are always bound to happen so truely the only way to grasp t

Well, when you go to a place with more exhibitionists per square meter than any where else on the east coast, some things are bound to happen. I like to take the approach of a polite pervert If someone is willing to show that much skin in a place with 25k+ people, then most of the time they will let you take a picture of them, as long as you ask politely. Either that or buy some good shades...

HAHAAH.. thursday pre-reg line.. the only time me and the few people i come with are together... It is quite entertaining. I normally just have a cup of chilled ramen noodles as i wonder along with the line standers in front of me... if i finish my ramen early i will run back to the hotel and fill a bookbag with snacks for me and my party memebers... Even with the heat i still wear my sixth hokage jacket (the one from the fan art) just cause i love the way it looks.. hahah i bought and i never even did the cosplay... i just wear the jacket So if u see a lot of orange holding a cup of

Hmm.. well i have been to Otakon a couple times but this time is gonna be different... I'm actually gonna do stuff other than play video games (*sniffle* its gonna be hard though) Normaly i'll get so sucked into playing video games that i forget about the entire con... and next thing i know everyone is being shuffled out of the game room cause its closing... HAHA.. Anyways this year, like i said, ima try to "attend" the convention.. You know, goto panels (prolly only ones pertaining to hentai), wondering around aimlessly, making it to the dealers room before they close, gawk at super

Wow i was wanting to make a thread like this one and wouldnt ya know it theres one already been made XD (Though i dont like reviving threads... luckily this one wasnt dead for long) Anyways I've always gone to Otakon with a few friends.. but we always split ways before even entering the con so im stuck wondering around all by myself... Gets almost lonely lol So just like what the first post said PM if your interested... If u want I have a facebook listed in my profile so if u wanna see who i am feel free -Personal Stats- Name (First name or Alias):: Matthew (I also

It breaks my brain too. I have had a job consistantly since I was 16, and I'm 24 now. I had a job when I was in high school.... as soon as class let out, I went straight to my job. My family can't afforf to hand out cash to me.... but that's okay because I don't want to be a financial burden on anyone. I do have some friends who get allowances from their parents while in college and refuse to get jobs because they are either too lazy or it eats into their social life. pfffft. I dont get it. i have an otaku college buddy that's like this. she graduated and still doesnt have a job. and I do

I can't emphasize this enough: GET A JOB NOW. I told myself this and wound up missing Otakon last year. You just never know what will/won't be available in the future, so get started now.

Well with tomorrow being the start if a new month it would seem the con is drawing exceedingly near... And with no signs of the earth slowing down causing a longer time till Most hard-core con-goers already have made their plans, the little less seious Otaku begin to make preperations while some just plan on winging it last minute In my preperation steps i have entered my favorite time of con planning, finding a plethora of friends to attend the con with me So in my mind a question arises... who all are you other folks bringing to the illustrious Otakon 2009. For me I brin

(Get them doujins *sigh* (there p
