In which nerds attend conventions

[lovebloomsonabattlefield]

After the uh...strange week on the island, Otakukukuthon was amazing! I had never been to a trilingual anime convention before, but to see so many people speak Japanese, English and French which I understood none of was really amazing.

A few people made fun of my name. There were many panels and workshops which I was able to attend and I took picture of all the digimon cosplayers for the Digimon Snap panel. I won second place and got a wall scroll.

And the Gundam panel it was...it was something else! Having the entire cast of Turn-A-Gundam was an experience I will never forget, they even answered my admittedly very nerdy question.

I even got a bit of fanart made, and there were a few girl artists offering a 'get yourself drawn as anime' pictures. Really cheap too! I ended up going over-budget again this year, but thankfully I'm used to sleeping on couches and catching a little shut eye here and then when I need it. It saved me up on hotel prices!

I hope everyone's last week was as interesting as mine.

I forgot how much you like these things.

I think my favorite part is the 'I hope everyone's last week was as interesting as mine' bit

Anime conventions are quite an experience! I'm sure if you came to one, you'd understand. It's like being amongst old friends.

I think I'll pass, Otacon. I guess it's sorta like being in the library then, because I feel like I'm amongst old friends there.

He's trying.

There is a huge room filled with books presented as a library for the entire duration of the convention. It's open twenty four hours for the duration of the con, free and the coffee is quite good.

It was a nice place to crash for most of the week.

[Otacon that is not the point. Mei Ling's face turns into that represented in her icon as she is trying to comprehend all of this.]

Well if heaven made him, earth can find some use for him....

I am so sorry.

Hello?

Otakukukuthon is a convention in a country far away from here that deals with anime in three languages. Hence he kukuku in the name.

Digimon snap is a marvelous game for the Gamebra 64 that I discovered in my stay here. It seems the previous uh...me liked to play it a lot.

Turn-A-Gundam is part of the Gundam series! It's an anime, manga and figuring collection spanning over thirty years.

Trilingual is the ability to speak three languages.

Was that helpful enough for you uh...what is your name?
