Worst site ever, Otakon 2004
Friday
The next morning i woke up to my alarm... a reoccuring trait of this trip. Well i really woke up an hour before that at 7 when the sun was directly in my eyes but i managed to stay half asleep for another hour. But when my alarm went off i immediately jumped to my feet and got Tim up. Then i went up into the other room and got Lindy up. The only person not to get up is Glick. Five minutes later i go back into that bedroom and shout in his ear that stupid song from Chappelle's Show. Glick didnt seem to happy about that.
We drove back over to the convention center and found parking and went in. We went that early because we knew there was a workshop on 'how to program videogames.' We were in there for maybe 30 minutes until we realized that the guy leading the workshop didnt know what the fuck he was doing. I guess this was more frustrating for Lindy and me seeing as we actually take programming classes and this guy was fucking dumb as hell. Then Lindy, Tim and i started making the biggest mistake by letting Glick pick what we were going to next. The first thing he picked, an anime comedy by the name of Bo-bobobo, was actually a big success, very funny, really really really stupid. After that Glick got the idea to watch some live action movie that according to the pamphlet otakon gave everyone, it is an Indian film based off of Resevoir Dogs, but in reality it was based off The Usual Suspects. I dont know how they mix those two movies up... they arent anything alike. Anyway, the scary thing in this movie was the dancing scenes in the middle of the movie. After about thirty minutes of watching it i came to the conclusion that any non-animated film that comes from outside America is shitty.
The picture above is from when i was walking to the next panel. In the Thursday page, i explained how long the line is. This is just part of the line, it went around the building and this picture was taken about 11:30 in the morning, it was like this for at least another 5 hours.
Moving on, we went to a panel about shiatsu massage after that, i think Lindy and i were thinking that we could use this on girls, but like everything else we tried to plan on this trip it fell through. The guy leading the workshop blabbered on about anime he knew nothing about. In the middle of the workshop the leader had a game where you match anime to elements of the earth. For some reason the microphone kept on shorting out through out the entire presentation and during this game after he picked a particularly fat person (i'm surprised he could stand under his own power anymore) the microphone went out. The leader of the workshop - "Hey can we get this microphone fixed?"
Tim - "Tubby's gravitational pull turned it off."
After being in there for an hour and a half, the workshop leader was about to move onto the massage portion of the workshop and Lindy said "I cant stand it anymore, his voice is too fucking annoying" and we left. As Tim, Lindy and I were getting up to leave (Glick had a little more sense and left an hour before that) the workshop leader called us out on that and said "Hey guys, if you leave now you're gonna miss the best part." At that time Tim and i tried to rush Lindy out of there so he didnt run up and punch the guy in his face.
The rest of the early afternoon was wasted on very dumb things. We went to see this anime St. Saiya, which was just plain dumb. Then we went to this anime about a circus (another glick pick) and we were in and out of there in 5 minutes because of how dumb it was. Then for some reason we still let Glick pick and we saw another live action film called MPD (multi-personality disorder) Psycho. Just like how made for TV movies suck in America, they also suck in Japan.
We ate dinner, same place as Thursday, in fact i had the same exact dinner... because i am an unoriginal bastard. We also went to the hotel to get our room and what not and we found out that they over booked and we didnt get the room we wanted. They said that we couldnt get 2 beds that we asked for but they said they'd give us cots to compensate. Well while Lindy was arguing with them there were 3 fire companies that showed up to the hotel running in and stuff. We had no idea what was happening but Tim took the picture. 
After that we went back in and saw another Anime, my pick, Kiddy Grade. It was dumb but entertaining, about 2 girl officers who kick ass and can control computers. Glick and i just made fun of it through out the entire time, it was great. After that we saw another Anime, which i dont even know the name of it. Not cause it was bad but because Glick and I were the only ones who stayed awake during it. It was like 'Three's Company' except that one of the girls was an alien. It was pretty funny. After all of that, we went to the Anime Music Video contest.
The picture above comes from when we were waiting to get into the theater for the music videos. The girl on the right wasnt wearing a bra obviously, and since we have no life what so ever, we couldnt help but peer at her. Tim took the picture to remember it.
The anime music videos are the best part of otakon in my opinion. All you do is listen to good music to make shitty anime look very good. There really isnt much you can say about it with out watchin the music videos other than in the humerous/satire section all you need to do to make people laugh is to make them think 'what the fuck.' In one music video out of no where there was just this penguin pushing over a bucket. Doesnt sound very funny does it? Well since it was so out of the fucking blue that it was hilarious. If you are interested sign up at anime music videos.org. I am planning on putting up the list of anime music videos in the contest later in an attached document.
After this we went back to the hotel to find out they fucked us over even more by not giving us cots. I didnt really care. We ordered a pizza and when we thought it was gonna be delivered we sent Tim down there to get it. About 5 minutes later the Pizza guy called and said he was there, we told him that we sent someone down. 10 minutes after that, he called again. At this point i got pissed off and went downstairs to get him. As soon as i came down i see the pizza guy and i'm like "Hold on, my dumb ass friend has the money." I find tim outside talking to the vallet. Boy was i pissed. Right before we went to sleep tim said something to redeem himself. I think we were watching infomercials because it was like 2 AM and nothing else was on. Soon enough a random quote was born from this.[There was some ugly girl on the TV]
Glick - "Tim make that girl on TV less fat."
Tim - "Have some more to drink"
And that about ended the night. We passed out on meat-lovers pizza and cheese fries. And if Glick is reading this, you still owe money for eating it.
The next morning...
