Otakon 2009

July 16th, 2009 by Joel Haddock

Spectacle Rock is pleased to announce that we will be in attendance at Otakon 2009 in Baltimore, MD, starting tonight and running through Sunday.  For those not familiar with it, Otakon is one of the largest anime/manga/Japanese culture conventions in the US, with a whopping 26,000 people expected to attend this year.  Somewhere among that sea of people, your intrepid Spectacle Rock reporters will be bringing you up-to-the-minute information from the field.

Some things you can expect to look forward to…

  • Interviews with professional voice actors for both games and traditional animation.
  • Coverage of Otakon’s sprawling video game room
  • Tweets from the convention floor (follow http://twitter.com/SpectacleRock and http://twitter.com/jfeeser).
  • Shenanigans as Joel enters a video game tournament and is probably eliminated in the first round.
  • In-depth reviews of all food consumed during the weekend.

And who knows what other surprises may pop up?  Hope to see some of you there!
