Otakon 2007: Sidetracked

 

    After Anime Mid-Atlantic, I swore to myself that it would be the last Anime Convention for the summer that I went to, given how much I spent. But I had a job interview in D.C., so given that I was close enough to go…I sidetracked my way home and went to Otakon!

     I only spent a short time at Otakon at the Baltimore Convention Center, but it was worth the detour back to Virginia.  There was a tremendous amount of places to go, people to meet, things to buy, and art to pick up.  Below you’ll find some brief notes and a few pictures from the event.

Anime Mid-Atlantic 7: Short Bits and Pieces

     Since last year I’ve used my debit and credit cards and rarely use cash in my every day life. In fact I don’t remember the last time I had cash in my wallet. I left the 7th annual Mid-Atlantic Anime Convention on Saturday even though there was another day left only because I had used all my cash that I had withdrawn the morning before and the atm machines at the convention center were completely tapped out.

     I probably would still be there at this time if I still had cash!…but maybe that’s a good thing! I still need to eat right? I had a great time at the convention nevertheless! Read on for more pics and some short highlights of Friday and Saturday.
