Otakon 2006 3
I just got back from this year's Otakon last night and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.
The best costumes that I saw:
- two ph33rbots
- a group of 3 people all dressed as pikmin
- a guy dressed up as Dread Pirate Roberts, complete with giant rat!
- Captain Planet
- A zombie that was hilarious at the "How to survive a zombie apocalypse" panel...if it wasn't for him, the whole thing would have sucked.
The best things we made it to was the 35mm, by far. We saw Akira, Princess Mononoke, and Howl's Moving Castle all on the big screen. We missed Totoro because I was busy at the art auction.
I won a nice Bleach print at the art auction, refused to bid over $100 on a nice Yakitate print, and from the silent auction won a ceramic (I think) Kodama on a log.
The biggest surprise at the con is a little game we found called Twinkle Star Sprites. It kicks ass, and it's hilarious that the two TVs with it were constantly filled by guys, not girls...as it's a very girly game that we sadly got quickly addicted to.
More to come.
