OtakuCon Spokane

[Ceci-chan]

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

[Kaliendra]

oh he is to die for! So very cute! I just adore people who have such great talent!

[LigerZeroLindsey]

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)

[Ceci-chan]

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

[LigerZeroLindsey]

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

[Ceci-chan]

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.

[LigerZeroLindsey]

I see! I will try to do that! Thank you very much! =D

OtakuCon schedule is up! Take a look and see what's going on next weekend (July 17 & 18). http://otakucon.com/otakuconsched.pdf

That's it from me for now. I will be in Seattle this weekend for a short trip with family and then back in CdA for last-minute con prep. Hope to see you there!~ <3

[koromir]

Oh my gosh! I can't wait! I really ought to get Bridget done soon!

[Ceci-chan]

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...

Kuro Neko Con

[LigerZeroLindsey]

It was fun!

Im currently looking for photos of me (Liger Zero) from the con tho, cause we didn't take any D= Would anyone happen to have one?

[koromir]

I will have quite a few of you up on facebook hopefully tonight. I will link the albums tonight...all depends on whether FB decides to WORK. D:

[Ceci-chan]

@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!

[LigerZeroLindsey]

Sweet I would love to have them! Thanks!

And wow thank you! =D I was so happy to win! I thought America was going to win! hahaha!

Good job to EVERYONE who entered the contest tho! You all looked great!

[yaniguchi]

Ahh, Otaku Con was such a blast this year! I'm so glad I got to go~! I met a ton of awesome people. ^___^

I'm so stoked for Kuroneko Con next year! I've already started planning cosplays and getting together with fellow con peeps.

[LigerZeroLindsey]

hahahaha! If I go next year im going to be Liger Zero Jager. Which will also be at Sakura con x3

[Ceci-chan]

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)

[LigerZeroLindsey]

Sounds awesome! =D

Anyone else have photos to share? I don't I have videos of the top 5 cosplays in the contest if anyone is interested.

[LigerZeroLindsey]

Does anyone have photos from Otaku Con? I have been looking but I always get Otakon instead -.-
