sunrise in baltimore
flying from orange county to new york, i got in late during the night. i struck up a conversation with my plane partner, who happened to run sneakerpimp.com. he was super friendly and ended up giving me a lift to the L train from jfk airport, which was really nice because taking the airtrain/A train combo from jfk into brooklyn can be a long, tedious process.
the next day i grabbed the train out to philly, helped my friend xavier pack and prepare for otakon, got a few hours of sleep, and the following morning we drove into baltimore. the thought struck me on the drive to baltimore at about 4:30am that we were both fairly eccentric individuals. obviously.
reaching baltimore around 6am, we checked into our hotel and caught this pretty sunrise. two hours of sleep later, we headed to the baltimore convention center and started setting up the booth. for some reason, as physically intensive as working these conventions is, it's such a rewarding experience to work with xavier that i keep coming back given the opportunity.
i would provide links to photo galleries of previous anime conventions i've done with xavier, but the internet connection at the hotel is stupidly slow, it's 2:30am, and i have to wake up in five hours to continue working.
okay okay, i'm a glutton for punishment, so here are the galleries from anime central (may 2007).. drive out, acen2007, drive back. i'm sure i missed a gallery for wizard world philadelphia sometime between then and now. but i really have to get to sleep.
