I went to the hotel after getting a much need haircut around 12:00pm. The was only a small line for registration it only too me 15 minutes to register at the door compared to the tow hour death march just to Pick up my pre-reg badge at Kumoricon . Panels of interest were a thin for me but no big problem. I approached Orycon as a relax-a-con: spending more time lounging around and talking to people than rushing panel to panel. My big Chococat had made his appearance and like other cons was a big hit. The first panel “Has the dream of MLK been realized?” was the fist on my list; the theme was about tolerance with in fandoms and social issues. The panelists where great not going into all to usual lets bash Christians and conservatives are racist mode of thinking. Next up was Guy’s How to create AMV panel, this was better than last year. Finally, was what’s on your nightstand? Panel the opening ceremony, which the skit was a bit to long. Dinner and catching up with old friends was the order of the evening before going home.
