Otakon 2000..
![[lain standing in front of a wire fence]](lain_box.jpg) Picture from my very expensive boxset of Lain DVDs. Bought from HMV in Hong Kong, not at Otakon. I didn't see it then, not that it would have seemed any less expensive to me there. :) Otakon 2000's first guests of honor were production 2nd's Yasuyuki Ueda, creator of serial experiments lain, and Mr. Yoshitoshi ABe, the original character designer for serial experiments lain. It was held 4th-6th August at the Baltimore Convention Center, Baltimore, Maryland. Production I.G's Hiroyuki Kitakubo and Mitsuhisa Ishikawa (founder), as well as the British band, BOA, who did serial experiments lain's OP song, 'Duvet' were the next to be confirmed.
