Back from MTAC (that rhymes)
What an amazing weekend. I had a blast. Lack of sleep and nurishing food may still be getting to me, but I'm still happy.
Volunteering is definately the way to go. I got there Thursday night, before the con actually started, and I helped some in the dealers room. I helped set up Anime Pavillion, which is a freaken huge anime/manga dealer, and I got $30 in credit that I used to buy Genshiken vol 3 dvd, thus having the whole series. I also got figures, wallscrolls, posters, and dojinshi. Anime Palace was cool for finding a figure that I lost (Palace and Pavillion FTW). I bought an MTAC shirt and forehead protector at the MTAC gift shop (yay volunteer discounts).
I didn't spend all my time there though. Went to a few panels on writing, running a panel, anime clubs, running a con, and Naruto. Those were all good, and some were fairly informative.
There were cosplayers galore. I saw some really good ones. My friends Krystal, Neal, and Daniel had some really good KH2 ones and even won an award. The cosplay contest was great, and there were other good ones not even in the contest. I already have ideas for some for me that will probably fall through but hopefully not. I can be Link because my friend Cristina wants to do Navi, so she'll annoy me and I'll chase her down and hit her with my sword. Also, going with the theme, a good one would be Char from Mobile Suit Gundam. That would be just plain awesome.
All the party-type stuff was cool. the Rendez-vous A La'Atelier was cool. I got in on Cristina's plus 1 invite. Got some sparkling grape juice, and I was thirsty. Plus, I had blown up a lot of balloons earlier for the party (inhaling helium wasn't allowed T_T), so I was of some help for that. The rave was good too, especially with a raving Chewbacca and Stormtroopers. I didn't dance, which shouldn't be surprising. I usually have to be forced onto the dance floor, preferrably by the opposite gender like at last year's rave.
Overall, it was a great con. As my friend Matt might say, it was better than zepplins with spinners. I was so glad to see so many club members there volunteering, and I plan to get even more to work there next year. I got my 10 hours in the first two days, and I still worked some on Sunday. Of course I'm volunteering next year. As good as this one was, next year will be so much better.
So basically, MTAC 06 was amazing. I have some pics, not all suck either, that will be up hopefully before Wednesday. Now that's all the way, I'll leave you with three words for next year's con: GIANT EFFING ROBOTS!!! (that's the next theme) |
