Depart: Washington - Union Station, DC (WAS)

Arrive: Baltimore - Penn Station, MD (BAL)

That's what I'm guessing.

From Penn Station, you'll need to hop on the Light Rail, which has a Convention Center stop.

There might be a more direct route from Amtrak, but I've never tried it before.

This will be my third year straight going to Otakon. This year I will be bringing a few new people along to show them the ropes too. Viva la Otakon!

Well Otakon is only 37 days away and counting. This will be my 4th straight Otakon and I'm looking forward to it. This will be my first year being in the masquerade. It should be an interesting skit. As for everything else at Otakon its always has been a blast going to the video gaming rooms, dealers room and espcially the amv's. Well until Otakon as Gene would say "You Better Get Ready" For one heck of an event.

I'll be there again this year. I've been on the AMV panel for the past few years but am taking a step back this year since I don't do near as much in the way of AMVs anymore. I'll probably just take a quiet seat in the back of the panel.

I will be doing a workshop on the Japanese writing system though, so if you haven't studied Japanese but want to learn a little about it (even just to know enough to use a few kanji in fan art) look for it on the schedule. I think it will be on Fri. some time, but I'm not sure.

That sounds pretty interesting. I'll definitely try to make that one.

I'll spare you the wait

It says 'akumu' which means bad dream/nightmare. The first kanji is the 'waru' of 'warui' and the second kanji is 'yume' (dream.)

Wow! For once I was right! Thanks. I was going to put that as a my video's title but wasn't to sure if I got it right......BTW, you may not remember me from last year but I was the guy sitting right next to you in the giant room on that Saturday for one of the Finalist Showings. I was pigging out on Chinese food. Anyway, I hope you noticed me stuffing my face, You make sailor moon cool......!
