Otaku no Roadtrip
By The Eva Monkey on Monday, May 9th, 2005
You may have heard, at one point or another, that I am certifiably nuts. If there was any doubt before, there certainly isn’t now. It’s that time of the school year when everything is in a bottleneck. I’ve got papers, final projects, and exams looming on an unfriendly horizon. I certainly don’t need to tell you what the stress of college life is like. It’s a bit like the stress of highschool, only multiplied by a factor of two. And if you’re unfamiliar with that, the stress of highschool is roughly twice that of elementary school. I’m not entirely sure when it happened, but at some point this past weekend I bid farewell to my mental faculties and made the decision to go on a road trip from Baltimore, MD to Rosemont IL, in order to attend Anime Central.
Needless to say, I’ve been working with a fervor befitting an actual college student over the last several days, something that I am horribly unaccustomed to. Nevertheless, the determination to attend Anime Central has prompted a scholastic effort on my part unlike any I have experienced in my recent years.
So, I look forward to attending Anime Central, hanging out with Carl Horn of Dark Horse, Brendan Jamieson of Eva Otaku, Otaprince of Gainax Pages, and last but certainly not least, Reichu, of the very esteemed Commentary Project. There will be the very rockin Pillows concert, as well as the 10th anniversary Eva panel, and of course, lots and lots of sake…. hopefully.
If you happen to be in the widwest region, and will be among the attendees of Anime Central this year, stop by the Eva panel, I will be there geeking it up in the manner I am best suited to. And I understand there will be free stuff for those attending.
And now, I venture onward in the name of education.
