So Friday began the actual vacation commitments, with a trip to Otakon.
I arrived at the same time as one pair of henchmen, so my winged minions and I did not move far from the front door for at least a half-hour. Not that I'm complaining mind you. Once Jason (Dr. Venture) got there, more hilarity and photos ensued.
We parted with those henchman and found more, along with a Dr. Girlfriend. I hear there was even a Sergeant Hatred around though I never ran into him. And later in the day,
And Jason came over for an action shot.
Then we even ran into Dr. Girlfriend and Phantom Limb, the same pair I met at Katsucon earlier this year. He even found a way to make his arms actually glow! Well, the sleeves do. Anyway, it's particular awesome in the shade or the dark.
Throw in a good dinner at Tir Na Nog at Harborplace in Baltimore, along with FMA geeking, squeeing over my daughter's pictures, and plenty of D.Gray-man anime viewing and manga purchasing ... it was a great day. Next year our goal will be more Venture character goodness if I can convince the players to do so. I even heard that the Williams Street folks make a number of appearances at Dragon*Con in Atlanta. I wonder if we got a large enough write-in request if they'd come to Otakon for 2010 ... I do still want to organize that wake skit for that one dead character.
I also picked up a Naruto chunin-level ninja jacket, to work on building Shikamaru and Kikashi outfits around it. I've been told by someone (who can take credit for the inspiration) that I reminded her of Shikamaru, and my wife likes Kikashi. In short, Shikamaru in the post-timeskip part of the storyline now wears a similar jacket to Kikashi, therefore the jacket can do double-duty.
