Otakon 2007 approaches -- Destructoid will in fact be there

12:16 AM on 07.18.2007 | Brad Rice

31 comments

I like anime. It's a bit of a well kept secret around here, but I must admit -- it's true! So, as a bit of a coming-out, a bunch of us from Japanator and Destructoid will be getting together for the convention and partying, reporting, and playing some video games (despite the fact that Ron would normally spit in our eyes for that).

So, are any of you going to Otakon 2007? If so, you'll be able to meet Nick, Topher, Dale, or myself from Destructoid, as well as John Martone, God Len, Matthew, and WestCabaretDrive from Japanator. We'll also be seen with the guys from Goozex and ikimashou.net.

We're planning to rock out, get drunk, and take a ton of photos of bad cosplayers, so stick to Destructoid and Japanator for all the Otakon coverage you'll ever need.

I was at Animenext, didn't catch you there though. Unfortunately this time around I won't be hitting up Otakon. Sure you will all have a blast though! :D Last year was pretty fun, a ton of ridiculous cosplays, as expected.

the GAMEGOBLIN

That guy's so ronrey.

the GAMEGOBLIN

pic, not Angels.

Roflcopter Pilot

I won;t be going to Otakon, but I will be going to the Atlanta Anime Expo. (woo?)

topgeargorilla

nerds

Chris Morris

Awesome. I won't be able to hit up Otakon until next year, but I eagerly await Japanator/Destructoid coverage of the event.

Brad Rice

Puppet, you might have to pay your way into Otakon ($60 reg), but we'll see what we can do.

Topher Cantler

Nick and I will be dragging all you Japanator kids to our usual drunken karaoke madness. I hope you know that.

Trowble

I was there 3 years ago. I was only interested in the dealer room, got a few laughs at the cosplayers and since I was a year underage all I could do was watch people drink...

DoctorEuphony

sweet. I'll be in the Artist Alley selling my crap! please stop by in section Q

ShawnKelfonne

So, I've gone for the last 4 years, and this year I can't go because I don't yet have vacation days at work. Cruel Irony!

Kurse318

Hope to see you guys there!

jamisu

Me and some friends have always said that though anime sucks, we'd still go to one of these conventions just to pick up some cute nerdy girls with horrible self-esteem issues.

God Len

My dr told me singing is bad for my back. Can i drink apple juice instead?

I've been in wars you know.

Valentia X

Yeah, I'm going. I'll be the one passed out somewhere on the second floor, covered in all the crap my friends bought.

Lord_Satorious

Goddamn it, why couldn't you guys have existed five years ago when I actually would have went to Otakon? I don't do anime conventions anymore, I can't be bothered. But hey, show those nerds how to rock it D-toid style!

RHibiki

I'll be there, considering i live about a mile away, and i work about a block away. I've also got a hook-up at the bar across the street. Cheap drinking FTW!

BlindsideDork

I think I live NEAR Otakon

Rockvillian

Baltimore, right?

Pangloss

Wait a second, DMV likes anime? I feel betrayed.

I joke, hardcore Bleach fan here. Wish I could swing by and make with the shitty cosplay.

LarkOhiya

sorry guys. time off for pax + 9 hour drives means I'll have to skip on this one. something happens in Chicago well I'm all for it! Sorry phist.

hodge

I'll be attending this years Otakon as well. I'll definitely be on the lookout for you guys.

I'll be the tall skinny blonde guy holding up Harry Potter spoiler signs.

RHibiki

It's funny, my friend and i just made a bet as to how long it will be before we see jackasses holding up spoiler signs. You'll Have to let me know where you'll be, so i can show up at the exact right time and win me some money :)

MIckytolt
