Otakon's Artist Alley and Art Show were a success for limpingpigeon. We quite enjoyed ourselves. In addition to selling my sister's artwork I got to spend time with flewellyn. He came all the way from Western Minnesota to join us. We also got to meet Peter S. Beagle. He signed books for us and chatted about his past and upcoming works. It turns out that a manga based on The Last Unicorn will be coming out in 2008! The kon concluded for me at the concert. The concert was made up of a piano quintet (a string quartet plus a pianist) from the Eminence Orchestra. Otakon was their first performance in the US. It was a lot of fun. I wished I could have stayed for the autograph signing afterward, but I had tickets for the National Aquarium and a Dolphin show shortly afterward.

I will upload my photos soon.
