This is Otakudom

When we went to Otakon, we jumped through hoops left, right and backwards to get a copy of "This is Otakudom," a very funny Otakon parody.

Today I go to their website and discover that the bunch of scoundrels who created this parody is based in New Jersey.

And if Hideto hadn't been able to grab copies of the video whilst at Otakon, I could have walked just down the road to Knight Dreams, in Princeton, and gotten a copy of the video from the owner of the store.

These guys might be my ticket into cosplay and otakudom if I can ask the right questions. Hmmmm....

That figures, it is amazing how small the world really is. So, I see Arafel as the star of next years Otakon spoof!! :)

Ha ha! Well, I don't think I'd make much of a seiyuu. (vioce actress)

Okay, I know we don't know each other very well yet, but if you go down to Knight Dreams to do this please please pretty please take me with you? :}

This is Otakudom was at Shoujocon, too, but I didn't get to see it. They get around!

I got a VCD of the parody, if you want a copy! :) Hell, you wanna go to Knight Dreams, let me know and I'll go with you any time. Never been there yet. :)

Oh hell yeah! I've never been there either, but I know where it is.

Alright, when're you free? You should come on AIM. :}

Email me with your AIM name. I use AIM very rarely. Mine is Magadauthan. ^_^

You were at Shoujocon? Did you dress up? I might have seen you. ;)

(Not that we really know each other or anything, but I'm always amused by the "Whoa, small world" thing. ;))

::waves:: Don't worry, I've heard much about you, and I think I remember seeing you at Shoujocon. And I used to read your website (the Northern Continent, right) obsessively...etc....why, you're a little web celebrity to me, so it's nice to meet you. :}

I wasn't in costume, but I was wearing a special forces cap and big boots and a shirt with a picture of Sephiroth from the "Steal" doujinshi people on it.

(Mind if I add you to my friends list? :)

All that distress for nothing???????? But, you probably can't buy it as cheaply as we got it at Otakon, I'll bet.
