Okay, so some genius pulled the fire alarm on Saturday. The whole Baltimore Convention Center had to be evacuated, everyone was out in the streets, it was total pandemonium, and it's the one thing just about everyone will remember about Otakon 2010… and I totally missed it. I don't just mean that I wasn't in the crowd when the sirens went off, I mean I had NO idea anything had even happened. I was eating lunch in the hotel the whole time. Heck, I actually manged to head back afterwards, walk from one end of the con to the other and back, and STILL not realize anything odd had happened until I got back to the hotel! Clearly, Otakon is freakishly good at reestablishing normalcy.
