Hey guys! While typing this the con isn’t over yet. My feet hurt so I’m resting up and figured I could type a blog entry too. Otakon has been a lot of fun. I interviewed quite a few interesting people. My favorite has to be the L with all the sweets spread out on the table. Also, the Batman villains group. Its always fun when the cosplayers are in character. :]The dealers room was pretty good this year. I didn’t think I would find merchandise of the manga series I love, Ichigo 100% (also known as” Strawberry 100%”). I was able to buy three plushies and three small figures. They’re so adorable, I just love them. The dealers room has a lot of mainstream things (Naruto, Death Note, and Bleach for instance) so I was very happy to find obscure things. The most random, obscure thing I found at the dealers room had to be a Deady plush. Deady is one of Voltaire’s characters. So as a big Voltaire fan, you can imagine how happy that made me :D The artist alley was filled with lots of cute, funny, and interesting things. I bought a dark Pan’s Labyrinth bookmark from Cari Corene. It has Ofelia and the faun on it. Definitely going to use it for manga andmwhen I reread the sixth Harry Potter book for the movie!On Thursday, I was amazed by how fast the Pre-reg line was moving. I was very impressed to see that Otakon kept things rolling smoothly.  Overall, I really like this year so far. ^^ better had back to the con!
