So while there are six dozen pictures of <a href="" rel="nofollow">jailbait Pokemon hookers</a>, <a href="http://www.orlandosentinel.com/media/photo/2009-08/23798482399160-03091001.jpg" rel="nofollow">gangsta furries</a> and other costumes not even related to anime, I'll never find any coverage of the Chogokin panel at all. It sucks. <br /><br />(Although I would have loved to get a shot of myself next to the <a href="http://www.orlandosentinel.com/media/photo/2009-08/23710500888720-03090823.jpg" rel="nofollow">Fooly Cooly robot guy</a>.)<br /><br />I don't put my email at the blog or site because I am paranoid about librarians, furry gangstas and pokemon hookers coming after me. But I'll be in touch.Evil King Macrocranioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01693211146604544544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37301459.post-47139289680097758512009-08-06T06:19:11.843-07:002009-08-06T06:19:11.843-07:00What's your email address?

Heck, I can't make that trip right now. But thanks for the link.<br /><br />I'm curious who the guy heading up that chogokin panel is. I don't know the name, but then again, I mostly know screen names these days. I have some feelers out - curious how big a collector he is.Kingboy Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37301459.post-53807735931171256442009-07-30T08:55:50.144-07:002009-07-30T08:55:50.144-07:00I don't blame you for not going.

Now MegaCon, on the other hand http://www.megaconvention.com<br />That's usually pretty cool...and crowded. Although I've only ever gone to the big Megacon earlier in the year, this one coming up is the "mini" Megacon. Wouldn't know what to expect from that. But I usually go to the regular Megacon every year.agentmorrishttp://staysick.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37301459.post-11083441694994882622009-07-30T08:14:22.725-07:002009-07-30T08:14:22.725-07:00Yeah, I'm not going. I think I've been so ...Yeah, I'm not going. I think I've been so removed from this culture for so long that I'm acting desperate and trying to do everything 'con' however tangentially related it is to what I'm into. It's not like there won't be other cons happening in my backyard over the next few months. There's <a href="http://www.mizucon.com/" rel="nofollow">Mizucon</a>, <a href="http://www.animationsupercon.com/" rel="nofollow">Animation Supercon</a> and the <a href="http://www.infinitebitsconvention.com/" rel="nofollow">Infinite Bits videogaming convention</a> all later this year. Hell, there's even <a href="http://floatacon.com/" rel="nofollow">Floatacon</a>, the world's only anime convention aboard a cruise ship! (There's no way I'm paying $800 pre-registration, though.) <br /><br />Here's hoping that somewhere in those upcoming shows there'll be comparable Chogokin and/or super robot related panels. But for now I will be drowning my sorrows over missing AFO in a sea of microfilm at the library.Evil King Macrocranioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01693211146604544544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37301459.post-37169879861740723392009-07-30T05:17:03.712-07:002009-07-30T05:17:03.712-07:00I don't know, to me it sounds like too much ti...I don't know, to me it sounds like too much time investment for the payoff, but only you can really say for sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37301459.post-26118711957164058472009-07-29T15:44:34.693-07:002009-07-29T15:44:34.693-07:00Well, I would go.
