Pre-Convention Insanity

No matter what convention it is, there's always the crazy amount of stuff that you have to take care of in the last few days before you even get there. Personally, I love it! It's exciting, even it it seems a bit stressful at times, you know it's all worth it.

Getting ready for a convention when you have a panel turns out to a lot more interesting than I thought though.Now that we're all working to make Otaku America a lot bigger than we originally planned, we're making everything that we do at cons to be more productive.Even though there's a ton of work that has to get done to get there and to make everything successful, it reminds me of all the fun I had going to cons when I first got into them. Sometimes I wish I could spend more time in the game rooms or stay at the rave til sunrise, but I don't feel as though I've missed out on anything. All of the interviews, the panels, the pictures, while are important for the work that has to get done, its fun enough to keep up that awesome feeling of just being at an anime convention.

It's been really fun so far working on the whole project that we call Otaku America, and I'm glad that I can get the chance to give something back to the anime community.For all of you guys going to Katsucon 1 this weekend, I hope to see you there and that you have an awesome time!

Back in Action

Yo! I know I haven't been around posting anything for awhile, but I have good news. We've been working pretty hard to get things for the entire project of Otaku America and we've even got a panel coming up at Katsucon next weekend!

Since Otakon, we've had to take a step back and really look at where we want to go with this whole idea and also plan out how we are going to get there. We all, deep down, want to spread the joys and awesomeness of anime, manga, and Japanese culture to everyone who may possibly have an interest, as well as help clear up the reputation that the fandom has managed to get over the years.

One thing that I'm really looking forward to is getting to meet all of the people who find our project interesting. I like hear from you guys and just seeing that what we're doing is bringing any good feeling to whoever takes at look at the things we are doing. I really look forward to getting to know everyone who reads and I'm really excited for Katsucon.

Make sure you check out our panel! "Did You Call Me An Otaku?!" in Live 6, Friday night at 7:15
Ja ne!
