   MomoCon 2008 (Day 2, Anyway)
So, we didn't get to attend the 1st day of MomoCon, but we did manage to talk Meev's mom into taking us to the 2nd day.

And yeah, okay, so 2nd day really has no activities - we missed the cosplay contest (my favorite part), no karaoke... we even missed out on buying this year's MomoCon shirt, BUT... it was better than NO con.

Besides, we got some good pics, met some cool people and had fun. At least we were there. MomoCon is our home, so, to miss out on that sucks more than missing any other.

Of course, because of the firework incident last year, this year we had to fill out forms and wear badges pinned on. We kept the badges as souveniers (sp?), lol.


I had a girl make-up a song about how I looked. While I was waiting on Meev to buy snacks from the Pocky Table, a girl sitting on a wall said to me, "I love your hair... and your rainbowness, and your cloths... and your whole outfit altogether..." and then she started singing about my "rainbowness".


We saw 3 Jrock cosplayers; A "FILTH" Kyo (GREAT looking!) and two Miyavi, one which Meev totally spazzed over.

One of the funniest moments was when Meev was deciding what to name her newly bought Gloomy Bear keycharm. I joked she should name it after one of the red rangers in one of the Sentai Japanese Ranger shows she watches.

She decided on one and yelled his name and a random black guy cosplaying Light from Death Note heard her and yelled out a surekill from the same Ranger show. We cracked up and they got to talking... I got them on camera doing poses and surekills. I told them to switch e-mails, because that was some bond, lol. The dude totally developed a crush on Meev. He couldn't stop hugging her.

Then, as they were yelling out Magi Ranger sure kills, a random white girl cosplaying Kairi from Kingdom Hearts heard them and he ran to hug her and they all joined in on the Ranger-dorkism. The best part was, I caught her reaction on camera. Priceless.

Some /b/tards did a weak "raid". They had a guy in a lolita dress holding a "Ron Paul, /b/?" sign, they drew memes like Long Cat on the Chalk Art area and they yelled at one girl cosplaying L that she was 'fail'. THEY called it a raid, btw.

Another thing I found funny... I always complain that for the Death Note fandom, there's too many L, Light and Misa cosplayers and hardly none of the others... That wasn't a problem this year! There was quite a few Mello and Near and MY GOD! Everywhere I turned I saw Matt! I saw 3 Matt cosplayers together!

We made random pals, lol. There was a girl in the bathroom when we went to put on our kitty ears. We went in there later, chasing down a Decora and she was in there, again!
I joked, "She's still in here!"
She laughed, "No, no, I left at one point, I promise!"
And when we ran into her in the Sells Room we playfully teased, "She's not in the bathroom~!"
She smiled, "Yeah, I finally made it out!
And any other time we ran into each other we smiled and waved.

There was also two guys sitting below us talking about Bambi and they turned and asked us was it Bambi's mom or dad who died, and somehow we got into this whole conversation with them, even talking about Light vs. L.

I ran off every few seconds to catch pictures of people, but it was still a fun talk.

On the way home we watched Super Junior T on Idol World. They are fucking hysterical to watch.

We went to a McDonald's for dinner... I swear to Bob, the second we walked in the door EVERY single person in there (and there were a lot) all stopped and STARED at us.

The day before, instead of sulking about how we weren't at the better day of MomoCon, we went to the mall and acted like fools. The most fun was going into KayBee Toys and messing around with shit, like fighting with light sabers and somehow not getting thrown out.

That night before MomoCon, since I spent the night was fun, too. Again, we'd been watching Super Junior and I was too hyper for bed... At some point I highly amused myself with the phrase "Bangin' KangIn".

Also, we decided abusive love will be called 'KangIn Love'. :D

One thing ticked me off, though -- many cosplayers we took pics of did poses where they hid their faces... an Ash and Prince of Tennis cosplayer, esp. who had great hair and lovely faces... why would you hide that!?

I bought:
Nana Kitade's "18 -eighteen-" CD
A Mini Moni CD
Gravitation TV Tracks CD
YamaPi replica necklace
Ayumi Hamasaki replica necklace
1 large photo-poster of hide
1 large photo-poster of Miku of AnCafe
Chibi Haruhi Suzumiya keycharm
Chibi Rukia of Bleach keycharm
DVD set of last year's MomoCon
A t-shit that says "Yaoi... It's Kinda Gay"
A Chibi Misa Aname of Death Note figurine
Black and hot pink cat ears
I think that's it.

We both loved this shirt in Death Note font, with the sideways A's saying: "What's Your Name Again?"



Yay, some FLCL cosplay! 8D


Masks and cat ears were the most sold items.




Who could resist getting this guy's picture!? XD


Nana! I saw her later walking with the other Nana... They were PERFECT! Shame I didn't get a pic of them together. I missed quite a few people I wanted pics of.


From Rozen Maiden


Cutest Hinata there. :3


Nice wig. o.o


Hellsing cosplay


Air Gear cosplay


Prince of Tennis cosplay (I love her 'I Heart Fuji' sign. XD) Also, she had such a pretty face and hair was just like the character's - shame she hid it with the hat.


At this point, I really wondered how the students of Georgia Tech feel going to class as stuff like this goes on. Imagine going to class and passing by stuff like this. XD


Dwayne and Meev, Meev's other Sentai Ranger half. XD


D'aww, Ulquiorra~!


Mello with a Death Note doujinshin. XD


Near with a little wagon of toys.


Utena!!


Awesome cosplay is awesome.


Team Rocket.


Light and Misa.


Link and Dark Link.


Kyon, Yuki and Itsuki from the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.


So pretty! *.*


A cute Decora~


KYO!!!


A cute Orihime. She handed over her Pocky to a friend before a group of us took her picture (when I asked, a few others ran over XD) and when she finished, her friend held out two stick in her face and in total Orihime style, she squealed, "Yay, Pocky~!" x3


A random lovely lolita. Glad I caught her outside. It suits her better.


Kankuro


She ran up to me saying how cute my outfit was, but her's is awesome! So, I asked for her pic. x3


Another VERY awesome decora!


Ahahahahaha, I forgot the character's name, but he's from Bleach and she put him in decora. I love it! Crack cosplay! x3


The Usagi from AUSAM-CON that I knew from last year's MomoCon. XD I got a hug from her! :D


So pretty; I lover her hair! She was waiting inline beside me and I couldn't resist asking her pic and she gladly obliged. :3


No, I have no idea what they are, but they walked in and they just looked amazing!


THE CAKE IS A LIE!


I'm not a big fan of One Piece, but I always adore the big group cosplays of them; they always look great!


I accidently took their pic two times without realizing it. XD


I love her wig.


She asked if we wanted a crack-pairing pic. I'm always up for crack. XD


MIYAVI!


I swear, Meev fucking SPAZZED when she saw her... I love that she did all the tats. That's dedication.


The one on the left was SO shocked we wanted their picture. XD


Some chalk art from the chalk art contest.






Y HALO THAR /b/!






















BEAUTIFUL Loveless cosplay!




The little kids cosplaying were so cute! Get 'em while they're young! XD This one was hilarious... No one would hold her stuff, so, she threw it. XD






To this amazing Roxas, thank you so much for allowing me interrupt your photoshoot for a quick second to snap this pic. <3


LOL @ the werewolf. XD


HOLY SHAT! Misa can walk on water! :O


L CAN WALK ON WATER, TOO!


Okay, screw Light being God... Misa and L can walk on water!!


This was a fantastic group; they were in the middle of a photoshoot when I asked them for their photo and some jackasses were running around (one with a wooden sword) and the staff member who yelled at them to stop was angry, but nice - he apologized to us and then let me take a photo of them. :3




Awesome Bleach group - thanks for gathering each other up for the photo, guys! XD




SO CUUUUTE~!




LMAO, the light made one eye red and the other yellow. Sorry, dear. x3






















My personal favorite.














So cute, but they were missing two pandas and told us if we found them, which we did right as we went in the Sells Room, lol.


The ultra cute pandas. x3


They were so embarrassed when I asked for their pics, but the girl behind the booth with them made them. XDD Thanks! LOL


The lady who made them. x3


Cute, cute, cute.






Story behind this pic: An L came up to us walking this neko guy, when Meev asked for his pic, he handed Meev the leash and ran off. She went to return him. He told her they had adopted him, then decided to abandon him. She never got a pic of him. XD You can see the L walking away.


She asked for my picture, I asked for her's after. The horns are a nice touch, lol.


Awww~
