I still haven't scanned all my Otakon pics in yet (I don't like how they show up on my lousy scanner), but in the meantime, I've been searching now and then for shots of me in other people's online photo albums (Since quite a few people did snap pictures of me in costume). Well, I finally succeeded, sort of. (http://community.webshots.com/photo/45138095/45138621BCBVjx) I'm the guy in the lower right hand corner (I'm also taking a picture of the group). Well, better than nothing, LMFAO!<img src=smilies/laff.gif>

(Btw, that's a latex "bald wig" that I'm wearing, since I was was cosplaying as Jet Black from the anime Cowboy Bebop. It started out more skin-colored, but the color leeched out, unfortunately. And yes, I died my hair and beard --what else-- jet black.)

Otakon is an annual anime convention attended by thousands of anime fans. I was in costume as Jet Black, from the anime series Cowboy Bebop. (See my avatar.) =)

I apologize to the ZMD women; I'd love it if any of you came to Otakon too-- I'm just not much good at figuring out which pictures you'd find appealing.<img src=smilies/cwm27.gif>

Well, when registration for next year begins, it'll most likely be at http://www.otakon.com/registration.html. Or you can just register when you arrive ( that's what I did).

Damn right There are reasons why everyone's leaving the city.
