Otakon 2000 Conpics

Otakon 2000: Endless Duo
Otakon just keeps on getting better and better! Some people might say that Duo Maxwell was the most overdone costume at Otakon 2000, but you won't be hearing any complaints from me, and I *was* one of the Duos. But I missed all the showings of Gundam W and Gundam W: Endless Waltz! Gyyaaaahhh!!!!

Anyways, as always, it's great to see my fellow heathens from (#)CAML, COSP, ORGYcon, ZQL, ARPG, etc. I especially want to give shout-outs to:
Allen (I blame YOU for my crackrabbit dreams! =)
Both (#)CAML Scotts (for helpin' me out and offering a place to stay that fateful Thursday night)
Danny (even though your cell phone sucks ;)
Doc-Chu (you'd better appreciate what I did to your photo, shyguy--ooh, Super Mario Bros. 2 flashback)
Donnie and the "Donnie Suite" crew (Vib Ribbon is total headCRACK!)
Elise (Waaaaaiii--I didn't get to see NEARLY enough of ya this time 'round ={ )
Kevin Lillard (You mentioned in your Sunday summation report of Otakon that you were asked to tell someone her friend was looking for her. That was my mom looking for me, thanks to my flight being delayed, and we both want to thank you for how you helped out by passing the word along! =^-^= )
Locke & Shaidar (mah fellow criminals in tha Duo Trio!)
Mike (Star Search!) & Kris (Hooters holds such fond memories *sniff*)
Thomas (bless your cell phone)
Those people who gave me head (trips) and great photo opportunities: Hex, Kat, Andy, Brandon, and basically anyone who I talked to at the con (that should cover about everyone, right? ;)
Widya (I FINALLY got to meetcha! As with everyone else, we didn't get to hang nearly enough, but there'll be more cons, right?)
Wildstar (you saved me AGAIN!)
You guys rock--you make the Gundamned cons, and I love you all to Deathscythe! *Runs from from the Pun Police*

My only two costumes at Otakon 2000 were Duette Maxwell and DJ Lady Heat Version 2, both of which made their debut there. What happened to my trademark Linka of Hyrule, not to mention Bulleta Hood and Lilimon? Linka's cap was torn at the seams, Bulleta Hood was too hot for the weather, and Lilimon wasn't finished in time. Oh, well, there's always next con. Visit The Digivolution of Donielle Mari Mystagic to see photos of Duette and DJLH, along with all my other costumes.

Also, don't forget to visit the (#)CAML page's Con Quotes file to see the inane insanity we spouted out!

I used up seven rolls of 24-exposure film at this convention. The joke was cracked several times that I was "pulling a Lillard"--snapping photos of everything randomly like Fansview's Kevin Lillard--to use up all my film. The many photos that turned out are all here, but first:

Lost Film--Not Lost
The pictures at the above link were on a 24-exposure roll of Kodak 400 film that was found at the Otakon rave Saturday night and given to me. When the pictures were developed it was apparent that this wasn't my film. I've been told since then that this film seems to be a roll of Tim Daile's.

Now, on with the show!

Otakon 2000 (4-6 August, 2000)

The low-quality thumbnails lead to slightly better larger pictures. =P~ If any of your information is misspelled or misrepresented, let me know so I can fix it! It's my own fault for trying to get people to write down their info in a tiny notebook while walking. =^-~=

Before we begin....

The #CAML-Anime Adventures of PerlBorg: You'll notice the otaku above lurking in a LOT of the photos. This is Locke, AKA Sailor_GRONK, the #CAML-Anime Whisky Phantasm (that's how the IRC Perl-bot that coined the term spelled it). We (#)CAML peeps snuck Locke into the photos as a sort of running joke. =^^=

Now, on wit' da show!
