I'm the sick anon from the last thread. I'm recovering but I had to give up my cosplay. There's no way I'd get it done in time and be happy with it. It's so stupidly heartbreaking but oh well I'll just be Nagisa (Clannad) again this year...
I hope I can make up the loss in the art show.

>Katriel Paige has been presenting at Otakon since Otakon 2004, when she first did a panel on Japanese sacred cultures to a packed panel room. She has gone to the Kansai region of Japan and has been studying Japanese on and off for the last 10 years, both standard Tokyo dialect and Osaka dialect. A multifaceted woman in the convention scene, she currently works with Charles Dunbar and studyofanime.com to present Japanese cultural panels to the East Coast convention scene

She's presented for several years now, but I don't know if I should bite the bullet and try going.

So the dance starts at 9 tonight...did the meet up last night seem fun enough that it would be worth skipping the dance and going to the meet up instead? Is the Masquerade worth checking out too? Looks like it run from 7-11?

Everything is worth skipping the dance for. Including a root canal. The masqurade is only good if you're drunk. Come to the meet.

I was impressed at how many people we had this year! Was wasted most of yesterday and left the meet earlyish, too exhausted. Had fun though. See you guys tonight.
