My ears are ringing a bit, but I had the best time tonight at MC Otakon! Thanks to everyone who came, I hope to see you at future events, including the GT Tournament this weekend where I will be helping with food. Here in some sort of order are the manga/anime related events for 2006. They include Animanga Club events, a new Cos-Play DDR program and the Inu Yasha special program. (see full event schedule after the break)

Cosplay Contest & DDR Expo

More musings on Furuba
Given many factors including having two powerpoint presentations, three v. long papers totaling 55 pages, I did not spend as much time preparing this month as last month. I really wanted to develop smaller group discussions so we didn't have to shout all the time. Any ideas you have for future events, please post them. I am writing notes, and I read all the little comments you make on the neon evaluations.

Cool lots of events. I can't wait to see more people dance in costume.

can my brother compete in the ddr cosplay thing? He is 19 and in college but this is exactly what he loves to do. Cosplay as Hanz (Hellsing) and play ddr in public.

Hey Sake can make any event more exciting ;> Yeah, and really the whole point of adding DDR to the mix is to get more people to come - and watch. If they decided to enter - even better!

ok, that is very wrong! Sake (or vodka) and DDR dont mix.
Think about it this way: someone somehow manages to trick a cop through a DUI test and makes it to the walking on a straight line. He knows ho to do it drunk, but the cop suddenly pulls out a DDR pad and a tv and says PLAY!
that would make playing kakumei on light seem like Maxx Unlimited on heavy with one leg!

ahahahaha I've been to the Fruba Otakons (or at least two of them) and it' impossible to ge things quiet! lol ok I admit I ma have added a tiny bit of noise... ok a fair amount.. sorry :( but I remember this one time in my 5th grade class they were being so loud so my teacher took a big yellow sponge and ust threw it on the floor. Everyone went silent and stared at the sponge. Maybe you could try something like that?

Hmm, sponges and caltrops.. maybe I should just toss Nintendo DS's at everyone.. that would keep them quiet and happy!

Well, I really don't mind noise that much.. and I know everyone really wanted to get their thoughts out and talk to their friends.. I'm going to consider ways of doing this.. which simply may require adding an hour to discussion programs for kibitzing :).

let's see: one hour for manga talk. one hour for kibbitzing. one hour for eating heck of tasty snacks. one hour for... basically should we just have a 24-hour library manga center? "aadl: where the manga never stops."

and don't forget the MIYAZAKI-centered program coming up! I'll post more details on a brand spankin' new thread soon.
