Otakon 2004 - Convention of the Otaku Generation
OTAKON 2004

Hey everyone! If you've found this page, you've probably stumbled upon it by either me e-mailing you the link, finding it through my Livejournal, or just plain dumb luck. What you see below are the images from Otakon 2004 which took place in Baltimore, MD the weekend of July 30th, 31st, and August 1st.

The images are taken over the duration of the trip and may contain some pictures prior to the con. For a brief description of each image, hover your mouse over the thumbnail and a short description should appear. If you happen to be someone in the images that I don't already know or didn't get to know at the convention, feel free to e-mail me at mirai_mm@hotmail.com so I can add your name to the image description if you're little heart desires.

Other than that, I really don't have much else to say. If you have Otakon pictures that you have online already and want to submit a link, feel free and I'll stick is somewhere on the page here. Once my friends get their pictures sent to me, I'll likely post them here also! Enjoy!

Kiba sighting #1. This is Jean-Luc (sp?). Got to know him a little bit at the con since we both cosplayed as Kiba on Saturday and ran into him several times Friggin great! Sakura/Inner Sakura... I wish I could at least see her face though. Probably one of the more original costumes I saw. 8 foot tall Jack Skellington! Somewhat mutated Gaara... There was a Kankuro with her too, but he walked away and didn't realize I was taking a picture. Yuna, Rikku, and Temari ANBU Kakashi The only Dosu I saw... Sound Nin are cool ^_^ Tiffany and Phoenix OMFG Chibi Link. How fucking cute is he? Random breakdancing and the watching crowd Kiba sighting #2. Didn't talk to this guy at all and only saw him on Friday Amazing sand ninja shot. When Temari opened her fan, Tiffany and I were both like 'Holy shit!' Myself and Tiffany before we hit the rave Friday night. Candy necklaces were a necessity.

Sasuke, Iruka, Anko, and Zabuza from Naruto. Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro: Sand nin are cool XD. Naruto group cosplay Saturday afternoon. You can see me in there somewhere. A Thousand Years Of Pain! I wish Leger got a better angle with my camera... Another great Naruto group shot. A blurry closer-up image of myself. Christine (Hinata on left) and Katie (other Hinata) fighting over Naruto. Lee is quite the ladies man... I think one of those Sakura's may be male too? Kakashi, Haku, and Zabuza take a pose from the anime. Uchiha family reunion. One of my favorite images from the group cosplay... Jiraiya is such a pervert. Hinata vs Neji fight times 3. Katie's on the back right side. Hinata vs Neji free for all! Come Come Paradise.
