It took me forever, but I finally finished my collection of MK Sub-Zero canon info. You can view the completed video over at my Mortal Kombat fansite, MKFanatic.net http://www.mkfanatic.net/2008/04/01/sub-zero-chronology-video/ Related posts: Absolved – Mortal Kombat Fanfiction Backlog – Dolls – Mortal Kombat Take On Me – Literal Music Video Related posts:

Katsucon 2008

Kali — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 19:45:47 +0000

So… Katsucon 2008.
I went solo. Because Maura’s car caught on fire.
This is me:

What are you looking at, knuckleheads?

Anyway…

Friday
Friday I headed over about 3 o’clock because I had finally finished repainting my stupid whiffle bat. (I had to go to 5 stores to find a freakin’ whiffle bat. Everything else was those stupid wussy foam bats. C’mon, I want some sting when I bonk people.)

First things first, I checked out the Artist Alley. To me, it was kind of boring because there was still a lack of fun crafty things, thanks to Katsu’s stupid rules. I don’t want yet another print of someone’s fanart, kthxbye. However, the hall o’ webcomics was much more entertaining, and seeing as it was still early, no crowds (yay!) I chilled for a bit with several artists and discovered that quite a few of them were teaming up for an epic Team Fortress 2 group at Otakon. w00t!

The arcade portion of the video game room was neat, with lots of old school cabinets. The console portion was made of fail. I was not impressed with the Halo boxes (can play that at home, thanks) and the array of games wasn’t all that interesting. I can sit at my own apartment and play Portal, that’s not what I paid for a $50 badge to do.

There was very little I wanted to see in the way of anime, either. Most of it was rather mainstream and I had pictures to take.

I’d first like to point out that Katsu is not a good con for pictures. The lighting sucks and if you don’t have a decent flood flash, you’re screwed. I have a rinky-dink Powershot. Good little camera, but it didn’t fair well with the horrible yellow lighting. Also, tiny hallways are tiny. You couldn’t really stop in them for a shot, so you had to head for one of the horribly placed photoareas.

Of course none of this stopped me from coming home with over 150 pictures, and that’s just from two days.

On one of my many laps around the con, I ran into the rest of BLU team.

Notice I look scared, as well I should be. To make a long story short, I ran into them later that night and we hit the hotel bar, where I did my best impression of a Demoman. I will not be doing this again.

Saturday
I was supposed to be part of a Sailormoon group. Unfortunately, I got stuck on the Metro for an hour.
At least they still looked good.

Well, now I had the rest of the day to myself to take pictures. Yay! But first I staggered into the Cosplay Plus panel because I met the ladies running it the night before. It was interesting, I just wish more of the target audience had attended.

After lots more picture taking, I ended up at the Geek Comedy Tour 3000. I had actually seen them before at T-Mode, but they were just as funny this time around. If you spot them near you, go see them!

Lots more picture taking ensued, and then the massive Phoenix Wright shoot showed up.
There’s more of them, but I couldn’t cram them in the picture! I was going to follow the shoot outside, but got distracted.

Finally, Mike spotted me around 7pm. He’d been looking for me all day (he should have just followed the people screaming “MEDIC!” after me.) We grabbed some grub and then wandered into the video game room again, but weren’t impressed. Shortly thereafter, I gave up on Katsucon and staggered home.

I didn’t do Sunday, because I was tired. >_< Next year I think I am only going to do Saturday unless I get an Artist Alley table. While I had fun, it was nothing to do with the programming of the convention and everything to do with the people I met there. $50 was way to much money for attending 1 panel and 1 main event.

Anyway, here’s the entirety of my pictures. BewareofNinja.com

When I finally stop being so @#$%ing tired I’ll post some sort of con report. In the meantime: Phoenix Wright cosplay.

Otakon 2007 Con Report and Pictures

Kali — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:47:34 +0000

This post will be seriously image heavy. You have been warned.

As always Maura and I were amazed that people line up for their badges early in the afternoon on Thursday. I took the 6pm MARC out of Union Station here in DC and Maura nabbed me at the BWI station on the way back from work. We waltzed in around 8, got our badges in 15 minutes and ran out again in order for me to finish my costume.

From past experience we learned that it’s not necessary to show up at the ass crack of dawn on Friday to set up our Artist Alley table. Maura and I managed to stagger in around 11:30 and Gerry got there at 1. They don’t let the monkeys in until 2, so we were happy not to have sat there for the full 5 hours Otakon recommends.

Business, as usually, was good so we were stuck at the table until 4:45, when Gerry came so I could wiggle into Frost to head for the Mortal Kombat shoot. We had a sweet turnout.

We hung around for a bit with the ninja trio before wandering back to the convention to save Gerry. By the time Maura and I escaped from the con, it was pretty late, but I demanded IHOP since I hadn’t actually eaten all day. We ended up driving all over hell’s half-acre looking for the damn thing, and it turned out it was in a ghetto-tastic part of Baltimore, so we kept driving to the next one. On the way back, a cop decided to give us a heart attack by pulling us over for a broken tail-light.

We had to be at the Phoenix Wright shoot at 10:30. It was a hell of a lot of fun, but we had to wander back to the table fairly quickly, but not before kidnapping a little time for a private photoshoot.

After I frantically sewed Princess Sailor Moon back together. We did pick up Mike, Curtis, and Kiera for dinner.

And afterwards Maura and I ran off to our table, but decided we were tired of sitting there. Instead we kidnapped a Minuki and a Phoenix and stood around looking pretty for more pictures.

It was also one of the few times I got to take pictures of other cosplayers.

Sunday, I had to be at the con at 8:30 for our panel, which Otakon forgot to @#$%ing put in the @#$%ing schedule. My laptop hard drive decided to fail right then and there, so unfortunately we couldn’t show our clips for PGSM. What a pain.

I think the panel went well enough anyway, but that’s just my opinion. We didn’t really stay on Sunday because we were kinda tired and cranky, but we did find time to make it to the Dealer’s Room (finally) and I picked myself up a signed copy of “The Art of ReBoot” because it is awesome and Mainframe announced that they are interested in producing more movies!
