Hello fellow Otakon Conventioneers!
Since this is a community based group, I have changed the permissions for members! Members can now submit journals!

Why? Because this is a community group I am sure plenty of you have fun facts, advice, and other interesting things to share with the community to discuss.

Please note that members' journal submissions are not automatically approved but are subject to vote; we want to make sure the material is appropriate and relevant to the group.

Also, we will not approve journals which are advertising cosplay groups - i.e. you cannot submit a journal that says, "I am a Soul cosplayer looking for a Death the Kid" - this is because every year we make a MASTER journal for anyone looking for cosplayers, so you will get your chance there :) !

Which brings me to the next topic:

:new: Are you looking for a cosplay group? :new:
IF YES comment or message our group telling us who/what you will be cosplaying, from what anime/game/tv show/etc., and who you are looking for!
Hi, I've started an informal irc channel for artistalley [link] so that we can chat and hang out / stay up to date with everything that's going on.

Everyone who is interested in tabling, will table, or did table in the past is welcome to come and mingle!

For those of you who have mirc, xchat, or chatzilla:
server: irc.rizon.net
channel: #artistalley

I feel kinda bad taking up the comment space here..but seeing this page is about otakon, and that being what this is about...

Would anyone be interested in buying cheap commissions? So that I can raise the money to attend otakon this year?

I can't submit this because it's a journal entry, but I thought it would be of interest: [link]

No sure if anyone will read this but giving it a shot anyway!! I'm a college senior and my thesis is on the impact that Otakon has on the Baltimore area! To help gather data I created a survey to be taken by Otakon attendees, and would be really appreciative if anyone would potentially take it! Responses are anonymous and it takes about 5 minutes. Thank you so much to anyone who may take it. Survey Link: [link]
