Conventions
Short Tandokucon Report
During the drive up to Philadelphia for Tandokucon on Saturday, we kind of expected a lot of disorganization with this being the convention’s first year. It really wasn’t that bad. Fortunately, Tandokucon started out small (I’d guess about 1,500 people were there), basically just renting out half of a hallway within a giant convention center. [...]
Tandokucon 2007
If it weren’t for a recent post over at The Anime Blog I would never have known about Tandokucon 2007, an anime convention taking place in my own backyard of Philadelphia from November 9th to the 11th. I’m surprised that a first year con rented out space at the PA Convention center, which is notorious [...]
Con Highlights and Loot
Not another Otakon 2007 post! Last Otakon post, promise. For all the things at the con that could have been run better, I still had a good time and was glad I made the trip. Most of the panels were amusing or interesting in some way and blowing lots of money on useless stuff in [...]

For some reason the Baltimore Convention Center (BCC) staff decided escalators were bad and shut most of them off. On the [...]
Otakon 2007, Oh Yeah!
Otakon is like one of my favorite times of the year. Panels, tons of useless junk I must buy, and cosplayers, it’s one swirling mess of anime I’ve been looking forward to for a couple of weeks now. The schedule is up. Inevitably, there’s things going on at the same time that I want to [...]
Summer Con Tips
I love the summer anime convention season. The whole being in this place where everybody gets your dorky little obsession still has magic for me, even after seven or eight years of going to anime and comic book conventions. I’m definitely going to Otakon and maybe to either AnimeNext (1-2 hours away) or Animazement if [...]
