Otakon Photos
So here’s the pictures that Jenn and myself snapped over the weekend. I apologize for some bad quality ones. It’s a brand new camera and we’re still figuring out how to use it. But I do think we have some good ones in the bunch.
By the way, if anyone out there was at the con and took a picture of Jenn, please comment with a link to where we can find it. We would both really appreciate it! ^_^
Jenn posing with some very young fans. It’s just too adorable! ^_^
The absolutely best-made costumes there. These Pokemon took home the first place prize at the competition, and rightfully so!
Jenn thinks that I would make a great Alphonse cosplayer. I guess I have the right body for it, but I think it’s impossible to do….
Capcon vs. SNK? How about Capcom vs. Midway!
Round 1, Fight!
This Lenore cosplay brought me back to my gothic, underground comic days. That and the Zim boxset I bought…
Fred Gallagher of Megatokyo talks to an auditorium of his fans.
Fred introduced the Boo plushie. Fan boys and girls rejoice.
My favorite moment of the weekend. Talking to Fred about anime blogging as he signs a poster for me. ^_^
As cute as the Chii was, what really impressed me was the Rei cosplay based off of this famous figure.
All the cosplayers that we were sharing the hotel room with. The Fruits Basket ones are our friends from PA, Becky and OJ.
“You’re the only one who didn’t cosplay, Scott! You should have been Alphonse.”
That’s okay…
Ah! My Goddess cosplay with a huge wingspan.
The Crazy 88’s from Kill Bill.
There was a lot of Di Gi Charat there, but very few were nearly as cute as this one.
Great Azumanga idea! Plus it helps me remember a recent vocab word of mine. ぬいぐるみ = Stuffed Animal
The girl who waited with us on line for the cosplay contest dressed as Lulu from Final Fantasy.
SaiKano - We’re still wondering how she attaches those “wings”.
Video game cosplayer who could actually play the music. Now that’s cool.
::sings:: Super fighting robot… Mega-man!
Yay for Koge Donbo characters! Here we got Shia from Pita-Ten.
Monoka! Hee hee, you should see the plushie Jenn got from him over the weekend.
“See Scott? It’s not impossible! You should totally do it!”
Okay, okay! Maybe next convention… >_<!
Nice cosplay pictures, Scott! And I definitely agree with that “Chun Li Cosplay expert” (on your last Otakon post) when he said that your girl friend is the perfect Chun Li cosplayer.
So that’s Fred Gallagher of Megatokyo, huh? Piro looks close to him, although younger.

I just noticed that neither Scott nor I took photos of each other. Perhaps it’s better that way with my abilities to take good photos of people that aren’t cosplaying.
Keep an eye on that girl of yours, Scott. She’s one in a billion. Did she make the costume herself?
Alright, I’ll post my own Otakon photos (some good ones of Jenn in the mix too) soon. I just don’t feel like doing any HTML and uploading on a 56K right now.

Well, I’ve already seen Becky in that costume, but O.J. looks cool too. I bet he got a lot of fangirls on him . And you look really short standing next to Alphonse.
And what’s with the site’s name change?

You’d know what I’d love? A Fujiko Mine cosplayer. Although she might get banned from the con for being WAAAAY too hot.
