Otakon! Who's all coming!

[Sailor Astera]

While I criticize how late the schedule seems to go up each year, their usage of the Guidebook app for everything con related is actually pretty damn nifty. Lots of fun functions on there and will be good in helping me keep track of what I want to do when. Smartphone users should check this out.

I'm downloading the new app now! (I had Conventionist)

I didn't know there was an app they used before. Then again, I didn't have a smartphone until a few weeks ago . ^^;; In any case, they advertised it on the site when they (finally) put up the schedule, and it's pretty cool. I think/hope this will make it easier for if/when schedule modifications happen to spread the news of them as well. There's some good potential here, some of which is already being used pretty well!

We should definitely meet up before the panel and march in there together. I may bring my Power Moon Tiare to wave around at the panel. I may not be able to hang out that evening though if our hotel provides Cartoon Network, because I'm suppose to see the premiere of Thundercats with my best friends. It's been too hot for me to be by the computer for even 5 minutes, so I will look at the schedule more closely at work tomorrow. Anyone interested in seeing the FMA Brotherhood movie premiere?

Yay for Otakon!

 

[Elly]

Can't believe the con is only a few days away! SO EXCITED!!

 

[MarioKnight]

I'm definitely up for the FMA movie premiere. That is so awesome we can watch that (legally) here so close to the Japanese release! I may actually skip out on the Funi panel believe it or not. The OC ReMix panel is the same exact timeblock, which has always been a great panel. While I enjoy the industry panels, as a whole I enjoy OCR a lot more. If there wasn't a possibility of a Sailor Moon announcement, I wouldn't even be mulling this over. We'll see what I decide on Friday I guess.

In any case, I'm so happy it's so close! Only one work shift to do which is tomorrow night (or technically tonight), then heading to Elly's during the day Wednesday so we can all leave their place Thursday morning and be in Baltimore by the early evening to pick up Sakky at the airport. So it'll be a kinda crazy next couple of days leading up to it, but so totally worth it. ^___^

Edit addon some minutes later: Almost forgot to mention that while I'm bummed about the Final Fantasy concert conflicting with the con (unless someone wants to take me ), it is awesome that Nobuo Uematsu will be coming to Otakon for a Q&A session as well as an autograph session. I am so getting my copy of Final Fantasy VI (yes, the SFC original) signed by him! ^__________^

 

[Elly]

OH MY GOD. I DID NOT KNOW NOBUO UEMATSU WAS COMING.

>____>

*goes off to pack up her classic FF collection to be autographed*

 

[Yoshimoon]

Ok so these are my must attend events. I am a huge Super Sentai fan, so meeting a Power Ranger would actually be pretty cool for me.

Friday:

Johnny Young Bosch Panel 11:30 AM-12:30 PM Panel Room 3

Funimation Industry Panel 6:00 PM-7:30 PM Panel Room 3


Saturday

FMA Movie 5:30-7:30 Video Room 1

[Elly]

Oh my goodness. I shall pack an umbrella or two

As for the Sailormoon meet-up, since we finally DO have a schedule available let's schedule something. I've got a few friends who don't use this forum who are waiting on details. Does anyone know of a good location on site that we could walk over to after the Funimation panel? Then at least I can give people a time and date.

 

[Sailor Astera]

Let's meet at Sakky's art table and pick her up... >_>

Crap, I need an umbrella too T__T

 

[Yoshimoon]

We all need umbrellas and sunscreen. 101 degrees on Friday. Maybe I should start packing too...

 

[Sailor Astera]

Sunscreen is a good idea even though I will be inside most of the time the sun is up xD I didn't have that on my packing list though!

For someone not being able to go, some one call or text me if there is any news or anything cool happens (ex: any sailor moon goodies in the dealer's hall) at Otakon. Also I wanted to share with you all for those that do not know.

Just wanted to share with you all that there will be a Sailor Moon related panel. The Abridge Panel *aka Sailor Moon Abridged- http://www.sailormoonabridged.com/ * will be on Sunday July 31st from 9 AM - 10 AM in Panel 1 and they will be premiering the SMA Movie 2 Beta Version Fan Produced Videos in Video One or Hall A on Sat July 30th at 12:30 AM! Just thought to past that onto you.
*This could be way they didn't approve your panel Yosenex. Don't know the details. But I happen to come across about them being at Otakon through an youtube video saying they have been approve for Otakon. Anyways I hope your able to get approve next year. Either way your coming to Animazement... hint hint!

Also Sailor Moon photoshoots are at Friday at 12pm at the Indoor Fountains and Saturday at 11am at the Fountains Lobby Escalators *got these from cosplay.com

Ok enough from me. I've just posted info on my panels for Matsuricon under my topic (sadly can't edited the first post, don't know why) and put info up about me attending Youmacon this year!

Anyways have fun this weekend! I miss you all!
