   Oni-con Part III (another long one)
Saturday, we were joined by Caryn, another club member, and our friend Amanda, whose Asian Civ group was doing a project on anime. For someone who's not really into anime, Amanda was pretty stoked. We made her wear my Umi schoolgirl costume from A-kon. Our group theme was anime stereotypes. Greg was a Shinsengumi member; Elizabeth was the "model student," and Amanda was a magical schoolgirl. Sophia was the cute Japanese girl; her outfit was inspired by a pic of Evangelion's Rei in a yukata so she brought along her "Pen-Pen." I was the J-rocker/a female version of Haru Sohma. This wasn't my original idea, but after looking at my pants, studded belt, and black turtleneck and having Amanda suggest that I wear her spiked dog collar, I just had to be Haru. ^_^

After getting stuff in the dealer's room, Elizabeth and I went to the Camino autograph signing. We decided that they would sign our Rice shirts. I had my cute pink shirt and Elizabeth had our Baker O-week shirt (which has Capt. Baker w/ devil horns) so it looked like we traded shirts. Elizabeth said that the Camino guys were laughing at her shirt. When I took a pic of Hayato, he stuck his tongue out at me. DJKKid even asked me about Rice and college life. :D

We had to go back in line for the Duel Jewel autograph session. Elizabeth got an even funnier reaction for her shirt (it's really odd-looking, and she was so cute that day). I got more cool pics, and we were pretty much set for the rest of the day.

This was definitely an unforgettable experience. I mean, who can say that at their first concert, they got next to the stage and met the band? A few days later, we found out that Camino actually posts on their English BBS so it was cool hearing good things about their experience in Houston. Go Camino and Duel Jewel!!
