Sakura Con~Saturday and Sunday

kinda sad that i didn't go on friday. but education WANTS me. therefore i have to give in to textbooks and shit and LEARN rather than SPLURGE MY BUTT OFF in the marketplace.

sigh

first off, the arrangement this year was...awkward. the  registration lines were in a room that NO ONE could find rather than being where they were last year in front of the marketplace. i was like WTF?? and another thing...what happened to all the activities? i recall that last year there was LOADS to do and guests that MATTERED. i mean, yes, the japanese bands and such were cool, but it just didn't work with me. other than shopping and blistering the balls of my feet (and watching AMVs as well...) there really wasn't much to do.

and i suppose that the fact that my friend walking around and not wanting to do shit contributed to the "being held back by a leash" feeling.

introvert. what can i do?

being fem-axel was HELLA entertaining. i didn't think that so many people would think that the costume was acceptable because of the fem-ness. but i actually received many good compliments and praise about the costume and being in character. normally, SNJ anything doesn't really fly with cosplayers. but for some reason this axel in a mini-skirt cosplay worked rather nicely.

w00t

i'd estimate that i spent 70 dollars on crap. well, NOT CRAP. stuff. great stuff, as a matter of fact. pictures, mostly. i spent a lot of my time in the marketplace and dealer's room for those two days, and let me say that the artists' alley has improved greatly. last year there wasn't much to do in the artists' alley. this year all the table were in a nice little circle and i could visit the nice dealers. YAOI

i saw ramy there. you know ramy, from deviantart? yes. he was there. and his girlfriend...i believe it was his girlfriend, since they have the same art style and he mentions her a lot on deviantart.

he is win.

and jesus was there. with a flower. so were a lot of other organization members that were prancing around and stalking people. i was stalked quite a bit and glomped and tackled and yelled at and photographed...BECAUSE I WAS WEARING A FREAKIN' SKIRT!!! XDD

i'll update this later HOPEFULLY with picture attached. you had to be there to believe everything that went on. <3
