Otakon continues its tradition of changing convention chairs each season. Sue Monroe, mother of two young anime fans, serves at the 2002 chair. |
Translator Neil Nadelman kicked off the parade of guests of honor. "I seem to specialize in bad anime, but none from the people I work for, he joked." |
Next came writer Gilles Poitras, the writer who is director of information resources at the Exploratorium in California. "There's a good way to save money on your anime purchases: hook your parents," said the man who has used anime and manga to encourage students to read. |
Scott Frazier, who has lived in much of Southeast Asia, noted that he was now living in the Baltimore area. |
Steve Bennett of Studio Ironcat said he remembered the early days of Otakon, with a handful of fans and even fewer costumers. |
Doug Smith, Ironcat artist and actor, said it turned out that he was going to be the only actor at the convention, since Wendee Lee was out with a broken leg, of all things. |
Lianne Sentar, who got cheers for her authorship of Sailor Moon novels, said she wanted "handsome male costumers from Fushigi Yuugi" to attend her writing panel. |
