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.
Heyo, Japan here! Since SomeGuy is returning from ECCC and recovering from a crazy weekend I am making the post again this year! We meet up in the picture down below:
What times work for you guys? I know that I will be busy Saturday starting at 2:30. Maybe want to try round noon? Comment if you plan to attend and what times work for you!
Alrighty! I can't wait for the con to start on day zero tomorrow! Since Saturday April 19th at 3:30 seems to work for everyone, 3:30
It will be!
Again here is the map below! I can't wait to see you all there! (Shin will there be cards against humanity again?)
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 all, hope you're all healing up and getting back into your normal routines again (which sucks for me, 'cause my normal routine isn't very interesting).
Until we can start getting some better pages up, I'll use this post as a means for us all to share pictures, videos, and our reviews/reports of the convention.
Link them in the comments below, and later I'll make a more definitive post with all the links for this stuff in it. So yeah, if you've got 'em, let's see 'em!
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!
