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.
Current Conventions:
Sakura-Con's programming can be found here.
There is no pretense here. Let's all just assume we all know why we're here.
theOtaku.com is going to be at Sakura-Con for our annual meetup in Seattle, Washington again this year, and we happily invite you all to come hang out with us!
Games, giveaways, stories, pictures, terrible terrible YouTube videos... all this and more!
At the suggestion of Japan!Laura, I'm tentatively putting our annual Sakura-Con meetup on Saturday, March 30th at 12:00pm. Would that sparkle with everyone else? If not, tell us when you're free and let's see what we can figure out!
Hope to see you all there!
A'ight, let's not pretend like we don't know what the deal is here:
Same deal as always. When are you guys free? We can hang out a bit, take some pictures, tell some stories - you guys should be familiar with how this rolls.
As always, free stuff. Maybe not a lot, but we'll see what we can scrounge up.
'Tis a good tradition. Let's keep it up. If you're coming to Sakura-Con in Seattle, Washington, we should hang. Tell me when the best time for you is and we shall see what we can figure out.
Punch and pie. Probably not. I'll think of something.
Attendance:
Just for sake of completion, the confirmed theOtaku.com members that will be at Sakura-Con are:
As well, we have a mostly confirmed list of theOtaku.com's staff and partners:
And finally... this in no way takes into account the friends we'll all bring (who shall then be coerced into getting accounts at theOtaku.com be forever thankful that they have such wonderful friends in the first place!).
Dang, this meet is going to kick all kinds of ass...
Activities:
Aside from the general gathering, talking and photo-taking, we currently have two planned activities: a draw/lottery for free swag, and a podcast recording.
What else would you guys like to do? If there's something specific you'd like to do at the meet-up, we'd love to know!
So far Miss Anonymous - the generous soul she is - has offered to pick up some snacks and stuff for us (I'll try to help you out with that if I can!), so we can eat a bit together. As well, Shinobi ANBU has already requested a kendo lesson from the podcasters. Whether we can actually do any of this stuff or not is besides the point; we just wanna know if you guys have any ideas.
The convention's only five sleeps away! If there's anything you wanna add, now's the time to do it!
