After flying halfway across the country to Baltimore, I find myself in unfamiliar territory for the event that the locals here call “Otakon”. I’m jet lagged, disoriented and just generally confused, all before the convention has even started — A promising sign. It’s a bit of a mini culture shock being in another state, as it’s different enough to be somewhat alien, but still similar enough to know that most things are still the same.

At any rate it’s refreshing to attend a new convention, and I’ve always heard Otakon is a blast so I’m looking forward to it. I’ll share my experience here in the coming days as I take in the sights and snap plenty of photos. Noirsword signing out.
