Otakon 2005
Otakon 2005 is coming up this weekend. I'll be there with my CJAS friends, but I'll also be spending a lot of time wandering around, taking in the sights, and talking to random people. This con, after all, is part of my dissertation research.
Similarly, I will be talking to various people I have interviewed over the last year, meeting many of them in person for the first time. I still have plenty of people who I've promised to interview. If you're one of those people, and you'll be at Otakon, please let me know.
Of course, if you're a reader of lainspotting, thought experiments lain, or any of the webpages on Lawmune's Netspace, or if you know me from one of the forums I post on, let me know, because I'd enjoy meeting you.
If you want to find me but don't know what I look like, my picture is here. One place you're sure to find me is the Otakon Game Show on Saturday night. I generally sit up near the front, cheering on my friends (hopefully, they'll qualify again this year).
I'll also be attending the Evangelion panel. Other than that, I am usually scouring the dealer's room for rare stuff.
