   Con Craziness!

Well people, I had lots of fun at ACen. I really didn't want to leave. The group vibe is just so hard to describe. It was so... comfortable. I mean, a whole freakin huge hotel and convention center filled to the brim with cosplayers and anime geeks running around. Now, I have to say that I'm one of those rather jumpy and crowd-shy people when it comes to being in a place I don't know, but I had no problem leaving my group and wandering around by myself. I went off to go sit in on the Megotokyo panel. I swear, I now have a new respect for people who allow themselves to be placed up in front of a large crowd of fans and then let those fans ask them questions. I felt like smacking my forehead every ten minutes. Plus I ended up sitting in front of a loud woman with an uber-obnoxious laugh. I was grating my teeth quite a bit, too ^_^ But yeah, altogether my day consisted off... waiting around for the convetion room to open, then spending about five hours wandering the dealer room (and about an hour of that was waiting in line with my friends so that they could get the autograph of the guy who did Axel's voice in Kingdom Hearts 2 and Reno's voice in the english dub of Advent Children). After that I went to the Megatokyo panel, then I met up again with my friends and we just sort of hung out with some other people that my friend Jen knows (and three of them were dressed up as Reno, Rude, And Rufus *hahaha* They even had a wheelchair, although I think that might have officially been Brad's, because he's still injured from that car accident *hmmm*) Oh, and speaking of that, it is very much a small world. Apparently Jen's friend Brad is one of the guys that I work with O_O Freaky. It was so funny to just walk over and be like, "Holy shit!" in my head. Some of you may have noticed that I did not once mention eating. That is because I didn't. My friends ate while I went to the panel because I wasn't hungry. My grandpa's genes must have surfaced in me because from about the time just before the con openned until we were driving home that night, the only things I had were some Pocky sticks and two drinks of water. That's about 13 hours without food. Go freakish, elvin-type digestive system! Wooh! Anyway, I have a few pictures from the con, but they're still on my camera, so I'll have to post them once I email them to myself. Mostly it's just a couple shots of the huge crowds, but I did get a picture of someone dressed up as 8-bit Link from Zelda, and there was also someone dressed up as a tetris block ^_^ Gotta love the classics. So, to sum things up, lots of fun, stupid fans, elvin digestion and hilarious surprises. I am definately staying all weekend next year. -Quote of the Day- Kakeru: "An enemy!! It's an enemy, Yunyun!
