O Canada.

I just got home from Otakuthon in Montreal and I have to say, the convention was awesome. All of the staff members I met over the weekend were incredibly nice and helpful and I was shocked to learn just how many FAKKU users we have in Canada. It's great to see so many new topics in the Meet and Greet forum, lets give our neighbors to the North a warm welcome. I highly recommend going to Otakuthon if you ever get the chance, it really is a fantastic convention. And while you're in Canada be sure to try some poutine, I assure you, it's delicious.
As I mentioned in the original topic, waar and I hosted 3 panels throughout the weekend: Hentai Worth Watching, Visual Novels and Eroge, and a FAKKU Q&A session. In the Hentai Worth Watching panel we ran into some technical difficulties with the projector, but in the end we managed to make it work. The panel was a lot of fun and a great way to start the weekend. The Q&A session was especially interesting and something I hope to do at future conventions. We were asked really specific and in depth questions about FAKKU, our views on censorship, our inspirations over the years, plans for the future, and a lot more. It was great to get so much feedback from the community and it allowed me to really connect with the users in a way I wasn't able to before.
But the Visual Novels and Eroge panel was probably my favorite of the weekend. In it we talked about the eroge culture in Japan and discussed some of our favorite titles. But the real magic happened after the panel ended. About 20 people stayed behind after we finished and we began this group conversation about all of the things that interest us. It was great to see so many people with the same interests get along so easily. And after about an hour or so of talking we all went out for drinks at a nearby pub and I was shown some real Canadian hospitality. It was truly a pleasure meeting everyone, you made my time in Montreal even better.
I would like to thank all of the staff members I met over the weekend, my good friends over at Sanshee, Yushi for introducing me to poutine and being a huge help all day Saturday, and of course waar for coming out and helping with the panels.
And in case anyone was wondering...
In the Hentai Worth Watching panel we talked about: Sora no Iro Mizu no Iro (Color of the Sky, Color of the Water), Hatsu Inu, Love Selection, Pollinic Girls Attack!, Stringendo & Accelerendo Ultimatum Sera, Stretta the Animation, Resort Boin, Another Lady Innoccent, and Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke wo (Becoming Your Lover).
In the Visual Novels and Eroge panel we talked about: Sengoku Rance, Clannad, Fate/stay Night, Swan Song, Yume Miru Kusuri (The Drug That Makes You Dream), and Katawa Shoujo.

It's good to know you have a good time, and that you love Poutine lol, I eat that too often.
Sad that I couldn't come, seem like fun to meet all Fakku. Next time I'll have the money to come(just 30 minute south from Montréal). Hope to see you(Jacob) next year!

Indeededly it was fun. First thing Jacob said was, "I'm a lightweight!" then we proceed to down 10 or 11 pitchers of beer.

Yes, poutine is the greatest food ever made. I really don't know how the rest of the world can live without that.
Please, come to Toronto next time.

you should reach out to some other con's up north =D
Hit up Anime North for '11 in Mississauga/Toronto, they've already got a ton of Hentai panels, so I'm sure you'd be able to make things happen!

Oh man. Every time I read about your these convention posts I get so jealous. I wish I could go. But even if I make it to a con, I can never stay late enough to go.

I'm glad Jacob got to taste some Canadian cuisine I only wish I could have been there to witness his first bite.

Wow, this has got to be a huge win in favor for FAKKU! I've noticed all the new registered people in the M&G section, and I'm glad that they've decided to join this awesome community.
