Vetes

I watched the first 7 eps of Big Windup on Hulu/Funimation's website. Just waiting for more of it.

I wouldn't mind seeing some import PS3 games since most of them work on US PS3's. Some of the sports games like Konami's baseball games like Pro Yakyu Spirits would be welcome.

I dressed up as Dr. McCoy from Star Trek TOS on Thursday for the new Star Trek movie. I might go as that on Thursday.

I second a Baseball in Japan panel. The problem is that I don't know if there is someone that could put the panel on. I know some stuff about Japanese Baseball and the NPB, but probably not enough to put on the panel by myself. Tokyo Zombie, old school classics should be show for sure.

I have some ideas for the Puroresu Panel for 2009. How about a review of 2008. I know of some good videos on YouTube that could be used. Also, Joshi (Japanese Women's Wrestling) could be used. If any help was needed for the panel, I'd gladly help out. Thanks.

A big article in western Maryland's Cumberland Times-News a few days spotlighted area otaku who went to Otakon. Here is a link to the article: http://www.times-news.com/entertainment/lo..._228152853.html

Was it the parody with Gendo and the funky music and Asuka with a stereotypical Russian voice? If it was, then it was Neon Genesis Evangelion reDeath.

Watching episode 6 (at least I think it was that ep) of Freedom was a complete breath of fresh air. It was like the Steampunk, sci-fi mashup that has been in my head recently coming true. Giving Afro Samurai a more thorough watch this time...and enjoying it. Seeing friends that I haven't seen in a while and interacting with other random people was exceptionally fun this year.

All I need to know is will I pay for the hotel room now? I don't want to pay for it a year before the con. It says you do on the Otakon hotel reservations page.
