Otakon 2010


    We got to Otakon around lunch time on Friday, checked into our hotel and went straight to registration.  Both of us got through in less than a minute, a far cry from say, Katsucon.  Love the bar codes.  Time to Cosplay.  We went Auron and Lulu from FFX for the evening.  First thing we did was run to a FF shoot which we passed right by and ended up in the midst of a Pokemon shoot.  Very luckily we ran into a Tidus, Rikku and Yuna.

      They turned out to be extra cool and we sought out the FF shoot together,  which we actually made on time.  After that we went searching for our friend and noted photog Eurobeat King.  There were of course a number of impromptu photo ops along the way.  Down  by the fountains we found EBK, Refractor and a few others. We ended up doing a number of lengthy photo shoots.  Our new found friends were real troopers. 

Rikku keeps an eye on EBK

We also ran into Tidus' dad Jecht

     Unfortunatly Lulu ran into a Tonberry,  with unfortunate consequences.







      Lucky for her Yuna was nearby to revive her.  Glad we ran into her.  We parted from the rest of the crew to hang out by the fountains.  We then met up with a few friends, and went wandering.




We also found another Lulu.


And a cool Rikku, along with a chocobo.


It was a really great day.  Next we'll explore our Saturday adventures, and put up a link to all our Otakon photos.
