Hey Everyone!!! Sorry for not posting in a good long while what can I say preparing-recovering from A-Kon has kept me busy.....but I'm back and finally back on to update yay! So Wed night we *Rebeca, Kevin and myself* took off to Dallas got there round 6 and then after finding out we didn't have to be there until later in the afternoon took off on a little adventure to find FUNimation studios....we failed.....then again it isn't like we had a nice strong internet connection to help us either.....just my vauge memory of when it was still listed which was years ago :( Then round 2 or so we were back at the Adam's Mark hotel getting set up with our volunteer groups (Rebeca did Guest Services, Kevin teamed up with Volunteers Unlimited and I was with A-Kon TV) At first there wasn't much for us to do at A-Kon TV since there isn't anything scheduled for the Thursday of any con so we were just hanging out watching some Walker Texas Ranger for a while.....rofl....fucking Chuck Norris. Later a few of us were checking out the layout of the hotel and noticed the HUGE line for Pre-Reg and decided someone had to take some film of this....insane line.....that would be my job...easy enough right. Later that night more of our staffers made their way to our room and we made a little schedule of stuff to record...because even though I'm a pretty good editor I was listed as a cameraman.....oh well I didn't mind. Friday the chaos.....I mean the con began....luckily I wasn't scheduled to record anything until like noon...this was also the day I did my little seriously last minute kinda cheap but it works cosplay of Yankumi the teacher from The Gokusen, I actually had one girl take my pic I thought that was awesome ^__^. Work wiseI had to do Anime 101 which was kinda an intro for parents even though we had like maybe 1 person who never had heard of anime before. The only other thing I had to do was Iron Artist......OMG that was so much fun ^________^ so many Chuck Norris jokes there too....lol. Stopped by the dealers room....mainly just scoping out to see if there were any rare finds.....got two shirts and a rare plushie bag....final list will be at the end. Took lots of pics of cosplayers....which I saw a group of Ouran Host Club cosplayers (only missing the twins and Hunni T_T) and one Kurapika (HunterXHunter) and went fangirl over both. Rocky Horror was happening that night as well but sadly I had forgotten to take my id and they were checking damn my focus on taking everything else like clothes and medicine...../sigh we had a fun night anyways just hanging out in the A-Kon TV room....where I also worked on the hem and finished my skirt for my Renge outfit. Saturday was just insane....then again I had to do costume changes like 4 times that day since I couldn't do just out there cosplay while recording T_T so I headed to the convention area in search of Ouran boys.....found a Haruhi and took a pic with her ^_^ then I went down to see the different artists that were contracted and ended up just walking around the floor talking with Kevin for a while before I went back up to change for when I needed to record the 2 Para Para teams we got and Taiko Drummers.....the first team I recorded "American Dream" para paralist were great so enthusiastic about it and nice a few of them were out there dancing for the crowd way before they were even scheduled...the Aggie team we had not as into it but fair....and of course the Taiko drummers rocked. Quick change back into my Renge outfit and then headed up to where all the panels were and caught up with Rebeca....then we headed to the dealers room and meet up with a few other members on our Anime Club that made it to the con. After that made my last change that night to get ready for the FUNigirls party.....OMG I loved it and got my one injury of the con that night...lol....it was all worth it though I ended up winning the first prize to be handed out that night which I choose a mystery bag to get Vol. 6 of Kodocha and Yu Yu Hakusho: First Battles eps 1-14 I don't care if I already have those eps its Yu Yu Hakusho and it was free! Sunday went well for the most part....did the things I was scheduled for and tried to help out and do an extra one since noone was there to tape it yet ended up getting booted since managers/producers/handlers didn't want their J-Pop/J-Rock artists even being photographed...which they had only told us that we couldn't use any of our concert footage for our own closed circuit use even....and I know they ticked people off when they skipped out on autographs at well. Went to the dealers room and went crazy with sales. Then we all went to deaddog.....then from there made our way home. Final list of stuff bought: Momiji plushie bag Myth bag that reads: 1f u c@n r3@d 7h15 u n33d 70 g37 l@1d ;-) a Furuba shirt a Serenity Shirt a shirt that says [subtitles go here] under a mix of three different writing styles a JINX shirt that on the back says: Guns don't kill people Magic Missles do 2 HunterXHunter posters (one of Kurapika and one of Leorio.....wanted one of Killua....and Hisoka T_T) 2 Spiral wallscrolls a Yu Yu Hakusho wallscroll a Fushigi Yugi wallscroll a Naruto wallscroll a Detective Conan calendar an Otaku button a With *DNAngel* Pin a Hisoka Pin Killua's Necklace a Zolo plushie *I gave to Rebeca* a Menchi plushie *I gave to Shiori* and a sword called Loyalty I am going to put up my cosplay soon...not too sure when though....maybe by tomm at latest Last anime seen: last nights ep of EVA....I actually woke up to that and then hoped on to Dot Hack Infection for a while.
