The biggest anime convention in DA EAST COAST! Taking place in Baltimore, Otakon was awesome, and damn huge. But since I don't really go to panels, I just go to these cons to hang out and meet/make new friends while cosplaying and repping that Street Fighter >8D

Thursday night was alright. Didn't do much but arrive late and picked up my badge that would let me in for the rest of the weekend.

Friday is when everything started. I was involved in only two gathering which happened to be the Capcom VS SNK shoot and the SF shoot. The latter I ended up hosting just throwing out ideas on what kind of pics we should take. It was fun and all I did the rest of the time was hang out and walk, walk, and walk some more.

Saturday was epic as well. I suited up in Ryu's alternate costume once again but in black. Before that though I was cosplaying as Chris Refield and took some pics in the RE gathering. The second SF shoot was just as good as Friday but the highlight of the day was meeting UDON finally and getting a sketch from Jo Chen, who was just about the friendliest personality there. Everyone was awesome (Minus Dogan), and at the end of the day I was out--slept early from being so tired.

Sunday was just a casual day where everything was closing down early and it was just about hanging out. Met a good friend there who goes by BlitzFox, who helped me with my Chris outfit, took a few pics, said goodbyes and was done. Overall it was a lot of fun. But I knew my next trip (which I took as of this writing) would be the event of...DA YEAR! And it was. Way beyond my expectations. Next stop: San Diego!
