Weekend at Otakon 2019

I skipped 2018, but I went to Otakon this year.

One of the downsides to cosplaying is that you don't get to take as many photos/videos, especially when you're covered all over, but it was worth.

I was able to capture enough photos/video for the weekend festivities.

Enjoy.

I'm done.

Otakon 2013 Recap

I totally forgot I didn't do a recap for Otakon last year. Anyway, here's the link to my photos. They're not much. Now on to Otakon 2013 Recap...


Pre-Registration (Thursday)

I worked from home on Thursday. Since I work in Virginia, it just makes sense. I worked extra on from Monday to Wednesday last week so I could take off early on Thursday. I already packed most of my stuff the night before. I just did some last minute checks and I was on my way to Baltimore.

I stayed at the Radisson Plaza Lord Baltimore Hotel, about half a mile from the Baltimore Convention Center depending on where you walk. It's a nice hotel if you get lucky with the elevators and peak check-in/out time of the guests. They were also doing renovations, though it didn't really bother me. Probably some people. I parked my car on an outside garage just across the street. This was a good decision on my part which we'll find out later.

After I got comfortable with my room and put everything away, I went to get my badge. The line wasn't long. They just made everyone go the long way inside the convention in case it rained. Not long after I was inside, it rained.

Rough Week/My Anime Doppelgänger

Rough Week

If it wasn't for the 3-day July 4th weekend, I'll probably be really pissy in the weekend.

Monday started with a full day... of work. The rest of the entire work week was all about ECRs, CRs, and SRs. So I don't get in trouble and to make a long story short, I was saving everyone's behinds and making sure everyone is on top of things. I don't think I can get any more vague than that. I can only speak for myself when I say that I've never been more busy at work for 4 days straight. The other times when I'm busy is during the weekends and late night phone calls when I'm the primary for the week. For some reason something always happens when I'm on call. However, I'm not on call this week and everything seems to be happening just as they would happen if I was the primary. I guess that is a good thing. Either way, I was still busy. If it wasn't for some of my co-workers and Yee in being able to talk to her, I'd probably go "postal" (inside joke of mine).
