[Who are you going to Cosplay in 09?]

I'm planning on going as Kiyuurin Kaoru (Ouendan 2)

Also, I'm curious, will there be other Ouendan cosplayers?

[Programming Suggestions for 2009]

I second the unaired seasons of Sailor Moon. But other than that... I was really happy with the programming this year. (Though I had to run everywhere to see the things I wanted.) So have no other ideas.

[NYAF - Otakon]

NYAF was my first con. Otakon, my second.

But I enjoyed myself at NYAF. I bought things, took pics, sat down. It's not as great as Otakon, but it's still enjoyable all the same.

[Phoenix Wright Panel?]

I understand. Some people who didn't get in are begging for a recording or something. But when I told them what it was, they're glad they didn't miss anything.

------------------------------------------------

But even if the line was large at first, I only waited like 30 minutes at the most. I heard something about people sneaking in and such. Is there basis to this rumor?

[Hotel Reviews]

Place I stayed: Quality Inn West

Number of people in room: 5

Hotel Staff: Rude and irresponsible

Walk to the con center: Walk? Driving takes 10 minutes.

The only good thing about my trip was Otakon and the bed. The bed was comfortable. But the rest was horrid.

Would I stay there again? If I had to. But I'm looking for a different hotel thi time around.

[Phoenix Wright Panel?]

Let me get to the point. The line for the Phoenix Wright mock trial was ridiculous. I mean, even the Death Note movie and The Girl Who Lept Through Time weren't as packed. The line was closed! But then it opened? I really didn't get it at all. </rant>

But anyway. do you think the wait was worth the panel?

Personally I think it wasn't THAT great, especially since they were short staffed. (I think their Ema Skye was sick with the flu.) But it was entertaining. Especially the auidence participation.
