Ode-akon

Lore Hera


And here we are
The voices sing
Princes of the universe

The scene rises
many myriad triangles
Many myriad lines

Pocky, 5 bucks a box
Lines forever
Welcome to the con

Three keyblades pass my place
Two Miakas and a Noh-face
pokemon girls in bakinis and tails
vs cat girls in bakinis and ears
all to glomp the vashes for years and years

You would think us deviod of color,
for all the exessive Bleach
But colerful Ninjas abound
The sailor scout majority has turned around

6pm the line does creep
slowy but surely through the doors we seep
Not quite a block away, since we've been there all day
Not quite a block away, is about where we'll stay
The line stops as soon as it starts
just enough motion to activate our hearts

Hot baltimore sun broken by no shade
But pirates above wave flags to invade
People with badges stream past and laugh
Return to their hotel rooms with their con swag

7pm sees us finally in the door
watching the lines, we've got an hour more.
Badges chosen at last and bags in hand
We wait to find lost ID
In Charles Street Lobby we stand

Back to the room, sleep comes soon
For the next day we play
the real con starts on Friday.

LARP lines and photo ops, too many heartless to count
Panals and Gaia games and workshops abound
We have now our plot, the world to over turn
Will Sailor moon agin piolet a Gundum
Or did Max Steel finally learn
I would have won the day, and killed them all
Had not that clutz piloted a mech through the wall

Besides the LARP there was much to do
With shopping and pictures and Mookie too.
Said "Hi" to Squishbag, Cammy we missed you.

The showings ace as they always do
With loud lines shouted every few.
Water plus heat Equals steam
we all declared
The World Can be saved by steam.

Jareth thought this was a LARP
While another Jareth went unnoted by me
And Chiriko said
I saw something scary

Hurry Otaku there are only 53 hours of the con left.
So Here we are Princes of the universe

Living from Summer to Summer
Counting down to the next con
Earlier each year it seems
from one to the next one

Stay till the last moment
watch the pirates disappear
Watch the last of the nobodies
for the last of the year

Security comes around
no longer disposing of Katamari
to make us go to ground
and leave the building.

It's over.
It's done.
There is no more
Otakon 06 has gone the way of 05 and 04
Otakon we miss you
and the BCC too
We look forward to July
You know that we do.
