AKI-CON WAS AWESOME!!!

Mon Nov 9, 2009, 9:54 PM
  • Mood: Euphoric
  • Listening to: "Just Dance" [by Lady GaGa]
  • Eating: chocolate fudge thingies (Halloween leftovers)
Wow...just wow. AkiCon was such a huge blast!

I haven't had so much fun at an anime convention in a long time, and it felt sooo good. Made some new con buddies, cheered my head off at the Soul Candy concert (Premiering songs from their first real album! It was SO COOL.), was highly amused by the hilarious 'musical' attempts of ~xXKingAceXx to get people to buy the prints/bookmarks/cellphone charms being sold by fellow GasuKan-er ~ji-hwan in the Artists' Alley, cheered like hella crazy at the Cosplay Showdown (~ji-hwan's BlazBlue cosplay group won the grand prize! $500!!! And happily, my bud ~Javakat343's fun cosplay skit won 2nd prize in that.), attended =PhotoPanda's first ever panel (on cosplay photography), had some Yu-Gi-Oh lolz with my bud James (cosplaying as Yuusei) and a girl who was cosplaying as Thief King Bakura (she kept stealing the little Millennium Eye lens-thingy of mine! Gah!), finally got to meet this cool guy who badly wants to attend GK (~Raif-San), and got to have fun sharing experience & tips as a guest speaker at the crossplay panel run by Carlos (of Soul Candy) - called "Crossplayers Guide to the Galaxy".

There was TONS of other great stuff that went on during the con, and it'd take me a long time to write about here and I may risk boring you with all the details...LOL. Totally psyched and looking forward to next year's AC and hoping to have some way better (and cooler-looking) costumes. As a matter of fact, I have a crazy-awesome idea right now of trying to pull off a slightly mascot-style costume of "Boota" from Gurren Lagann. Fufufu... I'm going to try my best on fulfilling this - for the joy of having a warm & comfy costume, and have fun being that kawaii little pig-mole of awesomeness. >3<

Hey,

Thanks for your lovin' of my latest pic.

How's life in Seattle goin'? Was last Gasu good? Grr... I wore my horns and crazy make up today, but it just wasn't the same as going to Gasu with all the CRAZIES in one place!

Although, sailing is EPIC!

Who be a cute bunny at GK~
you were~
yes you were~
xD

Ah, but it wasn't what I planned. It was going to be dark, etc. The fangs I got for it don't fit in my mouth that well, the coat I was going to use turned out to be wrecked from being kept in our downstairs closet for over a year (eeew), both of the two pocket watches that my dad owns are MIA (and I had permission to use any of them for making a creepy prop), and the shoes I wanted to wear are hidden somewhere in my room (though w/ the dog-poo incident, might've been worse if I wore 'em...oh well).
