   Sakura-Con
Day 1

I got to skip school on Friday! I went to Sarah's house around 9:30 or so, Steph was already there and then we were off to pick up Sheila. When we got there, we didn't have to wait in line to get our badges and after Thomas got his we went to wait in line for the Opening Ceremonies. We met some interesting people while waiting. I mostly talked to Bradley; he was crzy, random... I liked him. We finally got in to sit down, and the ceremony was really great.

After the ceremonies we went to the dealers room (I finally have a Kuroneko-sama backpack purse!) and got something to eat. After that, we went and saw Anime Improv performed by the 404s. They are a hilarious bunch, and the show is based off Whose Line Is It Anway but with an anime based theme. They were great.

We finished off by watching the end of Princess Mononoke (Miyazaki's best work in my opinion). It was a good way to kick off Spring Break.

Day 2

We got there some time around 10 something. We split up because the others went to the auditions for The Anime Dating Game while I went to the Tea Ceremony. That was very relaxing and I was able to drink some tea afterwards (which was really good). We met outside the restaurant and went to the dealers room then got lunch. I then went to the Chinese Knots panel (I have a new hobby) then we hung around the place before going to Sumo. People dressed up in Sumo suits and wrestled; it was really funny. then it was the Anime Dating Game. I left after a bit so I missed Bradley being a contestant.

Day 3

The last day! My dad drove us because Sarah's dad had to be somewhere else. We got there in time for a panel called What Not To Wear When You Cosplay. Very informative. After that, we went to the second show of the 404s. We then went to the Dealers Room and I got my last big purchase (an artbook of Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne) and then lunch. We just talked for a while then we went into the dealers rooms one last time. I had discovered pocky the day before (loved it) so I got some more. We then went to go wait in line for the Closing Ceremonies. They reshowed a video they had showed in the opening cermonies but they had had some techincal difficulties. After announcing the winners of the contests, Kumiko Kate (who's debuting in September I believe) sang for us, which was really neat. And then it was over. But we're already having ideas and such for next year!

I love going to Sakura-Con because you can just go up, give people hugs, and talk to them. People can relate at cons.

And looking at all the different costumes people wear is fun, and recognizing characters. Of course, Inu-Yasha as really popular as was FMA this year.

And since next year, I'm going to be 18, I won't need a parents consent paper signed and I can stay up as late as I want. I'm soooo excited. They also changed the con's location; it's going to be at the Convention center in Downtown Seattle.

But now I'm back to the mundane life. It's so sad; I'm going through Sakura-Con withdrawl. At least I have pocky and my new comics that I bought to help me pull through.

Well, I hope you guys had a great weekend and I'll stop by your sites later.

Ja ne!
