Yeah Psi, you listed for me too...thank you 
I'm in Rockville, MD, so I'm right around the corner from Otakon, etc...But I have yet to go to any cons for the simple reason that, whenever one occurs, I'm broke, hah
But Sakura Matsuri (Cherry Blossom Festival) in D.C. is pretty cool overall so at least I get some kinda fix out of this damn season hehe. If you're not familiar w/the event, for a week, they turn a few blocks by the Capitol into a 'Ginza' type festival of food, vendors, exhibitions, etc. They hold an anime festival amidst various art exhibits at the Sackler Museum, Sumo wrestling & music (J-pop/J-Rock at times)/dance/martial arts performances in various locations, etc. But then, I may be the only one here dork enough for all of that, lol
Mr Jotaan, I love your avatar heheee

Oh yea isnt that kikuchiyou (or however you spell it) from The Seven Samurai? I never noticed that before.

The default template is Aelous, basically means that if it is legible in Aelous then it is OK. BBtech template is still around because Evanidus still uses it.
Starlore: Yes, I'm a fan of the Cherry Blossom Festivale in DC. I'm typically up in N. Va once a week plus I have fellow Gentoo Linux developers that are up there as well, so the commute isn't that bad, provided it isn't rush hour *grin*.
A group of us get together once a year, fit 4+ people in a room to drive down the price. You need around $150 to enjoy yourself at the con. If you dig ramen, probably get away with $100. $50 for 3 day pass, $50 for two night room (at NICE hotel, not those ghetto places).
If anyone wants to roll with us, the more the marrier. ^_^
