Nakazawa at Otakon!!!

[daguru]

Well, unlike those of you who had the pleasure of meeting him in 2000/2001, I've never gotten to get stuff signed by Kazuto Nakazawa.

I only just found out that he'll be at this upcoming Otakon and I plan to be in full Bugrom regalia for his arrival. I'm gonna get my helmet signed by him.

Ha, cool.  Let us know how it goes.

As it happens, I'll actually be at Otakon this year!

I'll definitely have to remember to bring my El-Hazard box set to get it signed!

Meh. It's long overdue, but here's the pic of my signed helmet:

I somehow missed you at the con... Admittedly, with more than 20000 con-goers, it's not THAT likely that two paths cross, but I figured I'd be able to pick out someone dressed like Groucho at least.

Oh, well - I still had a great time, and it's good to know that you managed to meet with him. I'm glad he was tickled by your costume; I know I would have been, in his shoes!

Normally this is true.  But by chance I actually did meet up with someone with whom I had no official plan of meeting (but knew would be there.)  So you just never know how chaos of the universe will pan out!

Yup, and just to quote daguru himself:
"... nothing beats walking in and seeing the ear-to-ear grin on his face."

Someday I would love to impress someone with a delightful tribute to one of their works, whatever that might be... the closest thing I've had in the other direction is someone who made a degrading half-parody, half-outright insult of something -I- made.
