Ohayocon 9

These are the various pictures I took at Ohayocon 9 in Columbus, Ohio (January 2009). Quite an amazing anime convention!

A look at all the cosplayers in the grand staircase. Another look, facing head-on.
This is one giant room with a lot of windows! The ground floor shops.
This is the Greater Columbus Convention Center, where overflow events at the con were held. Wow, it's sooo big!
This is my first glance at the Dealers' Room at the con, where many a con goer spends spends spends. A look at the Dealers' Room from above. WOW it's packed!
Here's the other side, where I entered the room. Don't know the guy, but I thought it'd make a funny picture. :P
A look at downtown Columbus through my hotel window (in need of cleaning). Looking down at a group of cosplayers on the first floor.
Kamina and Simon from Gurren Lagann. An intimidating Zabuza from Naruto.
Awww, Naruto and Hinata having lunch. Kawaii! ^_^ The South Park kids. Wow, these kids really look like they could actually be in 4th grade!
The ever flamboyantly dressed Shunsui Kyoraku from Bleach. Presenting my first cosplay... Lil' Slugger (AKA Shounen Bat) from Paranoia Agent.
Click the image to see the full costume. -_-
This was really cool - the guy had an actual Game Boy screen with buttons that actually worked! Yes, the "pushing his buttons" joke was overheard... This was a photo taken by a friend. I think this is a different person, but the costume looks the same?
TREMBLE before the Monarch! Nyahhhhh!!!
(Special thanks to a friend for this pic.)
BILLY MAYS HERE! TRY OXI-CLEAN - THE STAIN SPECIALIST! I have no idea why one would dress up as Billy Mays, but I had to get a picture just for the sheer ridiculousness of it all.
The ever charming Vic Mignogna, voice actor who plays Edward from Fullmetal Alchemist as well as other roles. Aaron Dismuke and Mike McFarland. Aaron is only 16 here, but he voiced the popular character Alphonse on Fullmetal Alchemist when he was 12.
A panel of contestants at "Anime Name That Tune." My pal Nikolai is competing - he's the 3rd contestant with blue hair. The panelists performing improv at "Whose Line is it Anime?" They offended a lot of people, but not in spite - the results were hilarious.
Similar to the "Whose Line is it Anime" panel, this panel featured comedy improv. What was special about this panel were the panelists - all popular voice actors! From left to right: Mark McFarland, Tiffany Grant, Chris Patton, Jerry Jewel, J. Michael Tatum, (not sure who this lady is), Vic Mignogna, Caitlin Glass (in blue in previous pic)
