Vidgle’s Otakon Coverage Can Be Found at www.vidgle.com/congoer/otakon.

All I have to say is “wow” about our Otakon coverage two weeks ago. As the leader with four reporters, four photographers, producers, cameramen, and a few contributors; we had a total of over 3,000 photos and eight hours of video coverage! Otakon marks as the largest coverage that we’ve done with our “Con Goer” series; Con Goer is the most viewed series on Vidgle. The photos has been posted, and the video podcast episodes are coming in weekly since Otakon.

I would like to thank Jen, Sarah, I-hsiu, Kim, and especially Jon Ko who have taken pictures of Otakon like mad! Most of the pictures are up, but the ones missing are most of the masquerade photos. Those will be up very soon. You can take a look at our pictures here.

With the video podcast coverage, we are getting many hits with our current two episodes. We are planning to launch the Friday episode in a few days! There will also be a Saturday and Sunday Out and About coverage, and a wrap up report in the upcoming weeks. We will have videos of the Phoenix Wright Trail panel and JamProject’s press conference as well. Again, you can watch the videos here.

We did run into a mic issue when we were interviewing with a  Mr. Game and Watch cosplayer (which will be on the next episode). It turns out that one of our reporter microphones died so we got stuck with one and prayed that the second one won’t die for the entire weekend. We normally bring extra microphones but the connector part from the microphone to the camera broke, so a microphone replacement won’t do and a trip to the Best Buy down the street won’t do either since the part is not found in stores.

We will be publishing a review of my Otakon experience in the upcoming week on the Vidgle blog and everyone else will be a writing a response as well.

Our next con coverage for the Con Goer is New York Anime Festival in September. The final con coverage for this year will be MangaNEXT, which will take place on Halloween weekend. We will then have the “Best of 2008″ in December as the reporters and crew sit down at our studios and discuss their favorite cons of this past year.

Wow, I did a lot of things last weekend. I first went to Baltimore for a conference, which is mainly about expanding my company Jenthony, which owns and operates WRAJ Internet Radio and Vidgle. After entering a new chapter earlier this year with podcasting, now it will be entering a new chapter later this year. It will be the launch of SavePointDesigns, which we will be designing and selling t-shirts online and at conventions we plan to attend. I hope to talk more about this exciting new chapter in a few weeks.

I will return to Baltimore for Otakon in August.

It was Jen’s birthday on Sunday. Jon, Chris, Jeff, Merideth, Fred, Mike, and Sarah was over to celebrate, and so was the rest of the family! Above is a picture of a cake Sarah made, it is suppose to be the Final Smash Ball from Super Smash Bros. Brawl (and yes, it can be the spinning pinwheel of death).
