Otakon 2013 Time

Once again I'll be attending Otakon this year, from August 9th to the 11th. This time it's their 20th Anniversary, and they've pulled out all the stops with amazing guests such as Watanabe Shinichirou (director of Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Kids on the Slope) and Kanno Yohko (composer for Turn A Gundam, Cowboy Bebop, Kids on the Slope, Aquarion, and many many other shows).



I won't be doing any panels this year but I'll be wearing the above image in my badgeholder. If you know me or recognize me, I'm always open to talking Genshiken.




I've also posted a tentative list of things I'll do below. The contradictions in the schedule are because things happen and I'm also notoriously indecisive.
