Welcome to the official convention gathering blog for theOtaku.com. This is a place where theOtaku.com members can read con press releases, make plans and discuss the conventions we are attending.

Hello! Japan here! SomeGuy is busy with cosplay workshop right now so here I am posting in his stead. Sorry for taking so long to make this post but as the title says, better late than never!
For those of us that are coming for the first time, here is a little recap from previous years. We've always met up in this location in the map below: (First floor entrance in the lounge area.)
We always have fun. There are games, sometimes prizes and of course the annual video! So who will be coming? When do you want to meet up? Comment with your ideas. Once we agree with a time and day I or SomeGuy will be making another post with the official time for the meeting. I'm excited for this weekend and I hope to see a lot of you there!
Hey theres! We have two cons coming up for Labor Day weekend!
One of them is Animefest in Dallas, Texas.
The other is Anime Vegas in Vegas, Nevada.
I'm mostly interested in those who are going to be at Anime Vegas, since that's the one I'll be at, but if someone going to Animefest wants to plan a meetup too, that would be fun 
So onward...
Anime Vegas
Labor Day Weekend (Sat-Mon) Sept 5-7
Cashman Center
I'll be there Saturday and Monday if anyone else will be there and wants a meetup, a schedule should be up on the site this week, so we'll be able to better plan accordingly ^.~
So, hey, the time for Anime Expo is almost upon us! Would've thrown this up a bit sooner, but I've been having a bit of trouble on my end ... nobody wants to hear about that, though, haha.
Anyway, I want to organize a decent theO meet-up for the one day I'll be attending AX -- Friday, July 3rd. There are some big things going on that day (I'll be attending the Seiji Mizushima/Yoskue Kuroda panel at noon, and I know some people who will be at the Morning Musume concert), so I think the best time for the meet-up would be after the concert: Around 4:15 or 4:30 p.m., just to give those at the concert some time to get there.
As for a meeting place, well, I think places will be packed no matter where we go, so I think a good spot will be the South Tower Lobby right in front of the Exhibit Hall entrance, maybe near the escalators. We can find each other easily enough there, and if we want to move somewhere else afterward, we can. If someone else has a better idea for a meet-up spot, however, I am all ears!
So, yeah, if you live close to the Los Angeles area, then join us! We'll hang out, shoot the breeze, make new friends -- cons are a thousand times more fun when you're sharing the experience with other people, after all.
Here is the schedule for July 3rd.
And here is a pic of yours truly so that everyone knows who to look for on the day of the convention! I will be wearing this shirt at the con. Easily recognizable!
