San Diego Comic-Con 2011

[MrData]

Starts today.
I'll be there for the next four days.
Anyone else attending the convention?

 

[dChan]

I am... not attending because you won't take me with you.

 

[MrData]

Revived thread because Comic-Con 2010 starts next weekend.
Anyone going?

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

Seeing as I'm an otaku (dude, look at my avatar), I would. But seeing I couldn't go to san Diego Open for anarubix cubes, I don't think I can go to hang out with other otakus.

 

[Andreaillest]

Wish I could go, but it's all sold out. My friends will be there though. A lot of cool guests will be there. Have fun!

 

[ThatGuy]

OMG COMIC CON IS COMING. Anyone get the MP reference?

I don't think you want to be an otaku.

Spoiler

You're more likely a Weeaboo. Unless you have absolutely no developed social skills and never leave the house. A weeaboo can be a synonym for Wapanese or just be someone who's a big fan of Japan/Japanese culture/anime/manga, etc. Otaku (roughly meaning honored house) is actually a negative term that's often misused in America to refer to someone who is a huge fan of Japanese culture/anime/etc.

In reality, an otaku is beyond the world of fandom. They are someone who devotes all of their time to ANY overwhelming and unhealthy obsession that can be fulfilled entirely at home, thus allowing them to never actually need to go out to do anything but eat or shop. An otaku is also considered to have no social skills other than a basic ability to interact with people on message boards. Most tend to be hardcore nerds, hackers, or programmers.

The only positive side to the label is that they tend to be experts in their obsession. In your case, if you were an otaku, you'd probably be able to understand, speak, read, and write fluently in Japanese. You would also spend most of your money on importing anime, manga, and games in their non-translated forms. Possibly ripping anime, manga, and games into a digital format and sharing them or working in a subtitle/translation collaboration group online.

...Okay, not that otaku-ish then. I'm like a male Konata. I'm weird. A bit obsessive. But I still hang out around my friends.

 

[MrData]

Looks like they're reselling returned memberships at the original price.
I think all they have right now are the 4 day passes, although I can't figure out how to buy them.

Yeah that says everything is sold out, but I'm not entirely sure if that's true.
Oh well, it doesn't matter to me. I got my tickets back in December.

 

[MrData]

Registration for Comic-Con 2011 begins tomorrow.
If you plan on going, buy tickets asap as they sell out quickly.

[MrData]

Bump. The con starts tomorrow, anyone going? Also, could a mod remove the year on the thread title, this will probably get bumped every year anyway.
