I'M BAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!! XD
Mood: Sore, but very happy!; Listening to: nothing

HI!!!!! ^^///

Hey, guys! I'm back from A-Kon!! Though I am sorry to say that i don't have any pictures yet cuz I haven't gone to go get them developed yet. I left A-kon yesterday feeling sore and ready to just collapse on my bed and sleep!! :P I may go today so I might have some pics sometime this week. ^^ But surprisingly, I didn't take as many pics as I thought I would. There weren't alot of really great cosplayers this year. I'm picky and will only take pics of the awesome ones. ^^ But there were some awesome cosplayers and you will get to see them once I have them developed.

Anyways, on to the events. Since I do have alot to talk about I will split this into 2 or three parts. Today I will talk about Thursday and Friday. Tomorrow I'll talk about Saturday (THE best day in my opinion) and if that post isn't too long, I'll talk about Sunday too. If it is too long, then I'll talk about Sunday on Wednesday. ^^

Okay, Thursday night I had to go meet up with some of the other volunteers in Kon Suite. It was a good thing we left the house early cuz traffic was BAD because of the Mavs game, which was held here in Dallas. I didn't know anything about til we got stuck in traffic (hey, I don't pay attention to basketball or any other sport!). But I got to the hotel at around 7:30 so I had some time to figure out what room Kon Suite was this year. I actually got kinda lost cuz I couldn't figure out where the room was (I knew the room number but couldn't find it even though I was on the right floor). I back to the 2nd floor to start over and saw a sign that said 'Kon Hospitality Suite: Rm. 2155 Center Tower' I was like, "Center Tower? WTF is that?" So I look at the signs above the elevators and see that each set of elevators went to 3 different 'towers'. There was 'North Tower', 'Center Tower', and 'South Tower'. I was like "OH!! That's what that is!!" So I took one the Center Tower elevators to the 21st floor and finally found Kon Suite. I made it there just in time too. ^^ But me and everyone had to wait for our staff leader to get there. While we waited that Mavs game was on so we watched that until she got there. After she got there, we helped carry the food up to the Kon Suite and she talked to us for a bit and then I went home to get ready for Friday.

So after my shift on Friday morning (which was fun btw ^^), there was a voice-actor panel w/ Vic Mignogna that I wanted to go to. Me and my cousin met up by the dealer’s room and headed over there. Since we were kinda late, we got sucky-ass seats where we couldn’t even see anyone. >< But it was still fun since we could at least hear what they were saying. ^^ This panel was really fun to go to but the one on Saturday was the best one that I went to. But I will tell about that one tomorrow! :P ^_~After that I went to the Dealer’s Room. I was trying my money for Sunday since all the prices get marked down that day. But I found some good deals on Friday so I bought a couple things. ^^ I bought the Loveless: Your Eyes Only art book for $34!! That’s not bad since I kept seeing it for like $50 everywhere else! ^^ Then I bought Evil’s Return Vol.4 for $8. ^_^ I haven’t finished reading it yet but its really good so far. ^^ Later that day, we went to the Amateur AMV contest and watched 3 hours worth of AMVs!! 0o But they were really good AMVs. There was one that was a crossover between Cowboy Bebop and Star Wars that just had me and everyone cracking up!!! Lol, Spike and "Darth Vicious" were fighting with light sabers and everything! I’ll have to see if I can find it on the internet or something cuz it was such a funny AMV!!! There was another one that had footage from Gravitation and the audio was the trailer for 'Brokeback Mountain'!! XD The AMV was called 'Brokeback Gravitation'!! It was really good!! All these AMVs I need to find!! There was voting at the end of it so I voted for the good ones in each category. ^^ I don’t know which won or not cuz I missed when they had the results (I think they were on Saturday). *thinks* I think that was all I did that day. I just hung out in Kon Suite for the rest of the day and went to sleep at around 2 or 3 in the morning. ^^ Hehe, there’s like no such thing as sleep at conventions, ne? :P

Anyways, tomorrow I’ll tell you guys about Saturday and maybe Sunday. ^^ See you guys then!! ^^//
