Otakon 2013

This past weekend my sister, my boyfriend and I attended the infamous Otakon! It was collectively our first convention and so we were all pretty excited! I dressed as Claire Redfield from Resident Evil, and my sister was America from Hetalia but also Dipper Pines from Gravity Falls. As soon as we were on the highway entering Baltimore, a car passed us with a Sora in the passenger seat and we knew we were soon there! It was pure insanity upon arrival!! The line zigzagged around the building like a game of snake! We arrived around 8:30 when the doors opened in hopes of getting in by 10 to see Todd Haberkorn. Being the Convention noobs that we were, we had no chance of making it. We learned that going to Otakon is like going to Disneyworld. (So what did you guys do? Oh, we stood in line...) While waiting in line, there were many people out selling water trying to make a profit and competing against one another. One of the favorites seemed to be this shorter African-American man who was rapping the same phrase over and over: "Got cold water, only one dollar, only one dollar." Those who attended will know that song forever. There were so many people there and in all sorts of cosplays! From what we saw, the most popular appeared to be Jade from Homestuck, Elizabeth from Infinite, Attack on Titan, the Trolls from Homestuck, Main characters of Pokemon, and Link from Legend of Zelda.
