OTAKU JAM '10: Revenge of the Nerds (July 31st, Baltimore)
« on: June 23, 2010, 08:04:05 PM »
I know that people from all over the country come to Baltimore, Maryland for Otakon because it is currently the second largest con in the country for Anime with closing on 30,000 paid attendees. Therefore I decided that I should probably post this in the National section as well as the Mid-Atlantic.

----------------------------------------------------------

It's that time of year again, the anime convention known as Otakon is only a two month away and you know that means, another Otaku Parkour Jam!

Last years Otaku Jam was a HUGE success with a good number of people showing up (around at least 30-40), along with a few interested people just joining in and tagging along. I decided since it worked out so well it would be great to do it again for a 4th year in a row.

To name a few of the great spots we jammed at: The Skywalk network, the buildings surrounding them, the planters in front of the Sheraton, all along with a SWEET fountain that reminds one of the infamous Skyline park in Denver, CO.
 
Otakon this year is being held once again at he good ol' Baltimore Convention Center on July 30th through August 1st.

I figure we'll meet at the same time, same place as last year: Saturday July 31st at 11am under the Skywalk(for shade purposes!), next to the steps leading up to it connected to the BCC. Only one end of the convention center has a Skywalk connected to it so it shouldn't be too hard to find (the other side is connected to the new Hilton). Here is my phone number if anyone has any questions, or needs help finding us if they're late or lost: 443-851-5936


P.S. All are welcome to attend, being an anime/video game nerd like us is not a requirement. Hope to see you all there again this year!

Ah, I would totally show up as Simon from Gurren Lagann. Or Kamina perhaps.

I'm totally into the idea of a costume.  The attendees *really* went all out at the conference last year.

If you come in costume I *highly* recommend you make it a parkour functional version. Or at least bring a bag so that you can hop into a hotel bathroom and change if need be.

Last year we had a few in costume and it seemed to work okay, just keep in mind that it's still a full on hardcore parkour jam session.

Yeah, I was kind of thinking of maybe wearing a headband.  ;D

I really wanted to go to Otakon this year, but I didn't have the money to go this year. Kind of hard going from Denver to Baltimore. Maybe next year I can go and I will hit up this jam for sure.

I might just make it after all this year.  I've been nursing a bruised/hurt/broken toe for several weeks now, but now that I've been a week and a half off of it completely, it seems to be getting better finally.  I may have to restrict what I'm doing a lot, but I may be able to at least be there and do some filming. ;D
