Otakon?

edited July 2011 in General Chat
I know TTG has no presence at Otakon, an anime convention in Baltimore, USA. But I know a lot of TTG fans like anime, too, so I was wondering- anyone else going this summer? Interested in a meet-up?

I know it's not for a long while yet, but I'm always happy to help people in need of rooms, carpooling and the like. Unfortunately, I don't have any extra room space this year- I'm crashing with friend and co-panelist Xuanwu, who founded the Create-a-Comic project to help improve literacy in schools though giving children comics with the word bubbles erased, asking them to come up with their own stories using the existing art. He just finished his masters and is now teaching in Texas.

Long story short, I got roped into taking the place of KittyHawk as a judge in the Create-a-Comic contest at Otakon this year, and Xu and I are running some ukiyo-e workshops, too- I ran the shodo workshops last year and it was a ton of fun.

So, who's going?

    Necroing this thread. En route to Otakon now. I'll be hosting Ukiyo-e 101 in Workshop room 1 on Friday at 8pm. If you're going, come find me! I've got a ton of Japanese candy and other goodies to give away!

    After less than six months, you don't "necro" a thread with a new post. You just slap it awake and tell it to go to school. :D

    I wish that I was going now that I know there would be free candy.
