The totes aren't bad; it's a weight-distribution issue. They're weighted so low that they don't really drag on the arms the way a larger suitcase can. I can't bring the tote to Otakon with me though...and I need to figure out how to pack my laptop...because I don't have a netbook...ohgodfourSDs... And yes, you're sadistic but if Katen's outfit is any sample, it will be FUCKING AMAZING. He's the Rooster and he's wearing his getup right now, and it's jawdropping. I'll bring him in it to Sakuracon and you can marvel with me.

I like Otakon a lot. The humidity can be brutal but I've dealt with it in a) a full shinigami captain outfit, NO CHEATING so there were many many layers; b) an arrancar getup; c) long kimono; and this year, the crowning glory in the WTF was I thinking category, d) Angelina Durless. Madame fucking Red. (http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/8131/65790290vj0.jpg) I can take the humidity, man. Just gimme my water bottle, a fan, and my crabcakes and I am GOLDEN.
