Otakuthon
Otakuthon was last weekend. I showed up for 10 am on Saturday and worked until 5:30 in registration. 1750 people registered (492 pre-registrations showed up, 1178 people registered at the door, and there were another 80 or so unregistered participants). The convention managed to gather $1,714.44 in donations, and gave out 200 lollypops.

I never did get into any of the pannels, but I did catch most of a movie (Hoyles Moving Castle presented by fps magazine), and got to meet a lot of terrific people; some of them were even in costume. See the Mascarade Official Photo Album thread on the Otakuthon forums for some links to amazing pictures.

I should have been at the convention on Sunday too; but I got hit with an attack of the doldrums and ended up being led about rather than actually doing things of my own volition. Fortunately I have great people around me who were able to suggest fun alternatives to parking my ass on a couch and staying there all day. I was taken out to breakfast by a close friend. We went to Orange Café and I had their famous Eggs Benedict. They serve a fried chopped potato that is delicately spiced and well cooked. Apparently I should go there more often for, while their breakfast menu is packed with greats - I always order the same thing when I go, and I am never disappointed.

By about 1 pm I was exhausted, but still managed to see the movie Cars; which I enjoyed alot. And that was my weekend.

Tuesday I caught an episode of Hell's Kitchen on FOX. I am so addicted.
