Appy Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 Wai! Have fun, both of ya! And offcourse whoever else goes there.. wish I could, but that would require winning the lottery first or something
Alaeha Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 Waaaaa. *Jealousness* Oh well. While you're off doing that, I can do something important. Like sleeping. Or something. ;P
Ozymandias Posted May 19, 2004 Author Report Posted May 19, 2004 Welcome to Otakon! *rubs hands together with glee*
Appy Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 *expects a full report* Pretty pulease? *bats eyelashes*
Katzaniel Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 Okatu Idol? What is happening to the world?! ...I hate the whole Idol idea, not the Okatu idea. Just thought I should clarify. And I hope the two of you have fun!
Ozymandias Posted May 20, 2004 Author Report Posted May 20, 2004 Whoop. Heheh...forgot about that little note. It's actually more of a pun in that sense of the definition. The more literal definition is it's an abbreviation of "Otaku Convention" or "Otaku Con". Nae worries, you friendly neighborhood Loremaster hasn't taekn *complete* leave of his senses.
Appy Posted May 20, 2004 Report Posted May 20, 2004 (edited) So they actually have conventions about Otaku... which by my best of understanding at least 'used' to mean : Isolated Unsocial Person; mostly associated with people who spend ALL their time watching anime or reading manga (Warning: incomplete definition, possibly slightly faulty, but you get the idea)...in other words.. we'd call it Nerd, Bum, and all those other things you can associate with people without an appearant life. Really now, I already was annoyed with Dutch language incorperating english words and 'dutchifying' them... now I see that american can very much do the same, where does this world lead to *rolls eyes* Afterthought: Yes I know what they think they mean with it....it still annoys me Disclaimer: Not directed at anyone in specific, if you thought it was, then it possibly applies to you (thanks to "I don't remember who and can't look it up because it was in some post that has been moved out of my reach".. you know who you are, thanks for giving me the idea of this 'disclaimer' ) Another Afterthought: Yes, I did wonder if that's what the name stood for, but in blissed ignorance hoped they wouldn't be so stupid -Appy without coffee or tea Edited May 20, 2004 by Appy
Katzaniel Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 "Okatu Idol" is an abbreviation of "Okatu Convention"? *wails because no one is making any sense* *pauses to give Appy some tea* I think that may have been Alaeha?
Appy Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 Many thanks for the tea *sips it contentedly* ...and I think you are right about it being Alaeha who said that first... so thank you Alahea !
