Our mascot is a "he," I've learned. xD So far everyone thinks he's female. So it goes in the anime realm. : P I'm really impressed with this year's winning entry, though. It's really cute! <3

Ohhh an AMV contest to?! This is gonna be a blast! =D Imma try and enter!

EDIT: I wanna enter a Zoids AMV through Youtube, but if I put Zoids in the title, Youtube will delete it. Would it be okay if I masked the title but putting Z oids? (a space in there...lol)

^As long as you have your information included with your DVD, that should be fine. : )

Oh, so do we enter through Youtube AND DVD? I might just do DVD cause my AMVs are hidden on Youtube because they delete Zoids lol

The purpose of having video submissions on YouTube as well as DVD is to make sure there's a playable copy of your entry for the AMV event at the convention itself.

You should be fine if you're ABSOLUTELY SURE that your DVD will play. The best I can recommend is to mail a DVD copy to the con staff (you can get it from Matt via email mmayer@otakucon.com) so that we can test it, and then contact you if the DVD you sent doesn't work so you can make a new DVD in time for the deadline. : ) This way you can avoid video deletion from YouTube and still get your entry in on time. :mrgreen:

IF I do go, then I will probably just go wearing my Urahara hat and bring my Kon :3
Bleach is my favorite anime.

Who do I want to be at Sakura-con 11'?

OtakuCon Spokane was a blast, everyone! It was a fun time, especially since it's the last OtakuCon.

What? The last one??

But, not to worry! There's a catch. ; )

If you haven't heard already, the convention committee got together before the convention to decide on a new name for the con in order to disassociate ourselves from a convention in Florida that in 2004 had failed to run and didn't return money to attendees who had pre-registered, and also because Otakon took legal action against the Florida con for using a name so similar to theirs. So, OtakuCon is no more.

Stay tuned next year for Spokane's anime and gaming convention...

@Lindsey
I may have seen a couple pictures of you when I was wading through Facebook albums. I'll see what I can find and try to link them here. : )

btw, your costume was very impressive. You definitely earned first place in the costume contest!

I'll be there next year, too! <3

I'll be cosplaying as Yoko one day, but the other date(s) are still up in the air. I may go as:
-Itsuwari no Utahime no Diamond Crevasse Sheryl Nome
-a maid (I couldn't resist after seeing all the adorable maids at the cafe this year >//< )
-maid Yoko
-Black*Rock Shooter (if I have enough money after Sakura-Con)
