Ooooh my gosh guys, I completely lost track of how many photos were taken of me as Momiji today, and the day is only half over. Everyone has said the nicest things ("whooooooa...." Chiaki Ishikawa herself) and I really appreciate it. Most people have that one cosplay that they identify with and consider their persona, and Momiji is one of those cosplays for me, so I am just speechless, thank you for your kindness.
This is a SUUUUPER crowded con, if you don't like large crowds I'd say steer away from this one *__* The walking traffic tends to be stand-still. Otakon is the second biggest anime con in the country at over 30,000 expected attendees, so it gets very heavy very quickly.
So far I got the autographs of Maile Flanagan (who was an absolute cutie) and Chiaki Ishikawa, which is brilliant...sadly no Yoko???? I think, like, she had a secret-ish autograph session to avoid a flood, because she's one of our BIIIIG guests, you had to come stand in a line and be one of, I think, 200 people in order to get a ticket to her concert...so I got there at 7:30 AM and waited til they gave the tickets out at 1 PM *_* NOW I get to stand in ANOTHER line TOMORROW to get good seats.

Photos soon...I'm downstairs in Marriott's lobby cuz room wifi isn't free (I paid enough for this con.) I totally forgot to bring my photo upload gear down here. Again. But it's coming. I got a picture with Maile which will go on my
fan page. Watch carefully BD
