Welcome to the official convention gathering blog for theOtaku.com. This is a place where theOtaku.com members can read con press releases, make plans and discuss the conventions we are attending.

Anime Vegas' programming schedule does not seem to be up anywhere...
Alright, we're official! The theOtaku.com meet-up at Sakura-Con shall be Saturday, April 11th at 3:00pm!
The location will be the lounge area with the couches on the first floor of the convention, just inside the Pike Street entrance. Here, have a map of the 1st level ground floor for reference:
Sound like a plan?
Hey guys, how's it going?
Taking Smile.dk and the cosplay contest into account . . . how does Saturday at 3pm sound? It'd be more or less right after the cosplay contest.
As for where . . . unless we wanna switch up from our old haunt at the chairs and couches, I think that place is always good.
Thoughts?
A little over two weeks to go and I'm only now putting this together?!
Well, as per usual, I feel it is in our best interests that we, the Northwest (and Canadian Soutwest) theO types come together and kill some time in Seattle, Washington at Sakura-Con. Now I already know that probably this year's meet-up will be a little smaller than last year's because several people (including our beloved Gail-Panda) probably won't make it. In turn, I know this also severely hurts our usual incentive for coming to said meet-ups because Gail won't be there to shower us with mountains and mountains of free DVDs again. Still, I'll shell out and put forth maybe one or two things for some impromptu contests or something.
Also, I'll bring a video camera. It'll be fun.
So let's get this badboy rollin'! Who's going? What events can you absolutely not miss? When would be a good time for you guys to all meet together? Comment below with your thoughts on the matter.

Punch and pie.
I've been going over the site plan and stuff for the Hyatt, as well as Youmacon's schedule and think it would be good to meet at 11 o' clock, Saturday, in front/in of the Marquis Ballroom.
The room will not have a panel at the time, so people will be easy to spot. There are four events, however, so everyone should check to make sure they don't want to be somewhere else at the time.
So, are there any objections? Questions? Concerns? Better ideas? I'll be happy to hear anything.

By the way, Kyle Hebert is going to be in the second-level lobby for autographs at 4.00 that day. ^_^ Wouldn't that be kinda cool?
