Photo Studio
Come to the photo booth and pose with your friends or show off your best cosplay outfits!
The photo booth will be set up for solo or group shots, no need to bring your own camera. A photographer will be on site to take and print your pictures for you! For an additional fee, you may choose to have your prints turned into veritable 'purikura' keepsakes of your fun times at Otakuthon.
PURI-KURA ("Print Club" in Japanese) is very popular in Japan and is making its way into the North American market. Cute borders and add-on 'stickies' or 'stamps' make each photo unique!
For those of you who are cosplay-crazy and either don't have a camera or can't be bothered to take pictures of every cool costume you see during the con, we will also be offering an affordable CD collection of all the photos shot in the booth throughout the two days of the con.
Garage Sale
Got old anime goods you want rid of? Looking for that out of print ultra-rare, limited edition box set or figurine? We'll take your old goods and put them up for sale at your asking price for you! If it sells, you get the cash after the convention minus 10% commission. If it doesn't, you get the goods back at the end of the convention, no charge.
