It's done...
Even though I still don't like to play sense.

On the other hand the regional coming back home was fine, smooth even, other than we had to stop after we hit a deer. Still made it back on time.

I did say the not-Uma seiyuu panel made Otakon for me, because it felt like a proper JP seiyuu talk event with a lot of the same kind of jokes (we didn't go down the dream question black hole unfortunately). But what actually made Otakon for me was when Ayachi did the Popuko dance on my t-shirt.

最悪のデート　#ウマ娘　
ヘリオス、やっとこぎつけたルビーとのデートで初めからずっとルビーの逆鱗に触れ続けてほしいし、あの貸しボートに乗ったカップルは絶対に別れるジンクスがあるボートに乗ってほしいし、この2秒後に転覆してほしい。

行楽の秋ですね～ヘリルビです。

Yeah I have ridden Amtrak plenty times before for work.

But it was the first Acela of the day out of NYC so the odds of this is not high 😂

The one time I do this, the train is delayed for over 2 hours.

Sigh.

Also before Otakon moved to DC, it's kind of a chore to haul butt from Baltimore Penn Station to Inner Harbor. Now it's still annoying but much closer.

Yes I had to correct the name

Well you don't own a car in the States, so that doesn't surprise me e

Been going to Otakon for decades but I've never taken Amtrak to Otakon until now 🤔

Gonna try to work in rail more often.

4. Ideally you want to allow for nonprereg. This system kinda doesn't or put them at extreme disadvantage. If this is intended then you should just move to p2w? Treating "members" unfairly is not cool.

3. One session/day or all at once is a choice. All at once also evens the playing field more. But 6 different sessions as implemented is just obnoxious and it doesn't really solve the comms issue

Sigh Otakon autos.
So if you want to copy acen and make it better, this is what you do:
1. Communication far in advance. Acen did a bad job communicating. Otakon did better but still didn't solve some key issue.
2. Do online FCFS+WL all at the same session. It evens the playing field by a lot!

Remaining spots will be opening each morning of Otakon at 9AM EDT for the autograph sessions happening that day.
The waitlist will open afterwards, you'll get notified via the Guidebook app for a chance to join the autograph session (Turn on Notifs)

After finally getting some sleep, I woke up with a sore throat...

Because I screamed too much Sunday 🥹

Been vibing nonstop since the concert. because i have not slept since Sunday AM lol

what pairs better than great fellowship after an unforgettable concert? like we debated about hdkz jail also but like, i can see in the eyes of old timers that they all glittered in the exact same way.

I am in Japan right now just the Ping is gonna disqualify me 😂

Lmao yeah I think most people missed that fine print about face pic

at least on PC it's the same so not too bad

in iOS you can 1-click register from the list of events (shown in pdf from otakon)
on Android it doesn't work the same way

one more thing (2 min to go)
if you're on android and not on iOS
good luck, because minor diff in app makes it impossible for android :(

Not just a title, but an ardent wish? A nod to the reality of Bannam's business? An evocation of the end? Just tripping on chocho musubi? IDK but 20 years came and went, so there's that...

101 in
2/4
Maybe chill idk if I want to go farther

So
1. props Otakon autograph team for making the change!
2. please read the PDF linked carefully
3. i don't think Otakon staff knows how many other cons use guidebook, that requiring face+name in the acct may be leaked to other events/public. A callout is needed to check&change settings.

Celebrating imas 20th anniversary

Getting a bit emotional from all the messages... But the music always pumps me up all these years. Many things changed for better and worse but the important things stayed the same.

Gonna rely on bannam for keeping it going for another 20 years, thanks.
