A-kon, Day 2 of 3
Day two of the glorious con we call A o_O A few things were
made clear this day. 1) More costumes had come out today than before,
probably because it was a cosplay day. 2) Me, Connie (dressed as Kaoru),
and Alice (dressed as Tomoe) decided to do a walkon for the cosplay.
3) Even though my intention was to hang with a certain person or so during
the con, I ended up seeing her maybe once or twice during the entire thing
(Yes, I'm talking about YOU, Aniki!). Oh well, I had a great time
:) David, who was Tamahome last year (and part of this year.) was
also dressed as Cloud from FF7. Now the crew has a full cast :)
They put together a skit for the cosplay. The results? They
got the Best Skit award, while my walkon group got the Judges Choice award
(Steve Bennet). Woo hoo, way to go guys ^_^; Goods picked up for
today? A DHP zippo lighter and a Tee shirt that has Cloud, Tifa and
Aerith drawn Southpark style with Cloud wide eyed stating "Oh my God-!"
During the 2nd day, I found 3-4 Kenshin groups. 2 male Kenshin's,
with their own Kaoru's (Both in Dojo trainer outfits), one of that
group participated in the cosplay. And another female Kenshin, who
was the pre-Rurouni one, right at the end of his reign as Battousai.
I unfortunately didn't have my camera when we took a picture with that
group. :/
Hello, we're here to save the planet.
You have 5 seconds to comply.
Near the end of the 2nd day, I was wandering around the halls like my usual
self, and saw that
artist guy again. I said hi. I remember going through his portfolio
again, and then he said, "Aww, here, you can have it." and gave me the
drawing of Kenshin he had shown me on the first day. I was
like O.Ox People are so nice. I thought it'd be
cool to give him a drawing too, so I went to Aniki's room and bsed with
that group while I idly drew. I'm not sure if it was this night,
or the night before, but it was on the news that Phil Hartman had just
been murdered by his wife, just to put it in perspective of this night
in history's' place. Also on a completely unrelated issue,
Dave, also known as Tenken or something from Planet Vegita who was staying
in my room, gave me a really nice looking Kenshin button. It now
adorns my camera bag ^_^x
Allen from Escaflowne as done by Eric.
Asuka Langley as done by the dub voice actress for her.
Cool part about these conventions is for some reason, they also choose
to have a dance. By all means, the thing I really don't want to see
are sweaty otaku on the dance floor...
BUT, when
you're in a group of friends, it's all a great experience!
We did a congo line, danced to some hip hop, and a little slow dancing,
etc. All and all it went on for several hours. At about midnight,
we headed up to another 'room party' that was showing Kodomo no Omocha
(Child's Toy) 17-20 subtitled. It was only then, past 2 am that I
realized I hadn't eaten all day. Off to Denny's it was!
Day two was a success. Now to sleep my whole 3 hours and get back
to con hopping :)
Wai! Mama and Maro-chan!
Oh look, it's also Rick Hunter from Robotech AKA Hikaru from Macross
