otakon09 packing

Just mear hours before leaving to head to Otakon and packing needs to be done. Talk about waiting nearly last minute, right?

Most of my week has been hectic and I've been collecting everything together but not actually organizing it.

So I laid everything out upon my bed that needs to come with me.

This includes my Kusuri Uri outfit, my Okita outfit, regular clothes, nigh clothes, minor entertainment (cards, mp3, sketchbook), night wear, geta and sandals and tolietries.

I had to make a check list tomake sure I had everything

and so I dont forget anything when I'm leaving the hotel.

Needless to say somehow all this needed to fit into that one box in the corner. The car I am going in is rather limited in trunk space and I must allow others to have their stuff in there too.

All my time and years of tetris allowed me to pack most of this within the box itself. My awesome skills show themselves with that. The box itself is about to explode, but bah! It will be fine!

I actually don't have part of an outfit packed in there because I'm wearing down to the convention. I've always found it fun to take car rides to conventions in cosplay. Not only is it fun to scare the normies but you are always pointed and targeted by other otakus. Everyyear I have done this, and usually once on the way down (and on the way back) someone will be like "OMG HAY! OTAKON ROX!" And girly screams and nyahs and random japanese otaku words... you get the idea. :D

I have also made more of my tailismans!

I will be pasting them around the convention with a shameless plug back to my blog. lol!

Well that is all for now--hopefully I'll be back with lots of pictures and merchandise!
