Otakon 2012: Day 1

Otakon! This year’s Otakon is much bigger than the ones before, but then that’s always the case.  This year there were a lot of new anime, a lot of interesting panels, and of course, cosplayers.  Lots and lots of cosplayers…

Comfy-con 2012!

My kind of convention!  A “near-convention experience”!
From Randall Mullholland’s comic:

ComfyCon - a convention experience with Randy and Danielle from your own home

Best of all it’s free! And we all know you get what you pay for!

Fantastic a capella music…

This performance blew me away. I am a fan of a capella singing, but this group makes all the ones I’ve seen before look like barbershop quartets.

No “autotune” was done, no synthesizer trickery, this is just a group of people creating harmony and beauty.

Words don’t do it justice, just watch and listen.
