Otaku Fest II day 2
May 20, 2008 by VioletA day late . What can I say I more relaxed post for a more relaxed day such was the second day.
Less people, less heat, less commotion but in a good way
.
At Suburbia they were suppose to have Paprika from 1pm to 3 pm . When I got there around 1.30 something was just ending. Either Paprika only lasted 30 min or they skipped it. We got in exchange some Japan’o'rama and ended up staying at the second part of Sakura Project .
At Atelier 35 people were relaxing making paper toys, the kind you got with the 3 issue of Otaku Magazine.
At K G & O G supposedly we had some movies or such . Saw no such thing, however I did noticed that quite a few of the Alien toys were gone, hopefully for the artist, gone in the “sold” meaning. Also the Coplay’ers got the courage to cross the road and migrated to this location as well.
If anyone knows how the cosplay contest turned out, drop me a comment, I’d really like to know who won.
As for the Sakura Project competetion winners *drum roll* :

First of all the locations: all active, all reach able, all full, all freakin’ sauna hot. All the seats in the viewing are at Suburbia were taken by 1 pm, when I got there and the place became just packed when it came to showing AMV’s from the Sakura Project.
Atelier 35 and had an active crowd with all the places at the SideKicks and Pisica Patrata Workshop taken, walls covers with fan art, local creations and such and free drawing area. Also featuring much welcomed ice-tea (5 ron a cup) and trinkets booth.




Oh , and one for the “to reminisce about in a few year” some police officers dropped by (at least 5-6 of them) inquiring if we are attending and “emo manifestation” ( !?! =)) ) and picking on the organizers and demanding us to clear the road (and by road I mean the are where you can’t get in unless you bribe some one , cause it’s an pedestrian area…but when pedestrians don’t let cars by in the pedestrian area …well the police chases us off —and if it’s not a pedestrian area then someone give me the legal quote so I can freakin’ put my car there).

So pretty much an eco fest supported by a beer company and with some of the best music around.
