| the magician's looking glass: WhiteMage_1's Cosplay |
| And now it's time for... WhiteMage_1's first Anime North Convention Journal!!! (Yeah, not much to cheer for, but...=P) |
| Cosplay: |
| Conventions: |
| Miscellaneous: |
| BONUS -- I had so much stuff in my con report, I had to make a page for everything I missed -- Mostly, this is going to be random bits about things that were particularly memorable, but I didn't include in my regular report due to the long length of said report. That includes shout outs that I remembered as I went. Of course, now that I've put this off until the beginning of August (sorry!), I probably forgot a lot of the things I was going to say. *sigh* Oh well, nothing to be done about that now except get that this over and written. ^_^ Hmm, how much money did I spend at the convention? A good deal and all of it was my own. =/ What was my main expenditure? Well, Todd recently gave me back most of my pre-reg money (since I worked for security and had enough hours to get a refund), so my main expenditure was on plushies. The chocobo plushie and the Aoki plushie, even though they were both good prices (Aoki moreso than the chocobo. That earned Kikiwai a few points, since they probably still recognise me from my numerous trips there. XD). Hey Marc, thanks for encouraging me to be in the masquerade. Even if the award I won was really someone else's, it was still nice. Of course, I made a bloody fool of myself and I'm not sure if I really should have done it in hindsight...*sighs* It would've been nice to have a pic of me sitting on the stage being all cute, but the only pics around are of Hojo dragging me away. I really wish I'd been able to get a picture of my Kaga costume in its full glory. T_T Okay, so it wasn't very glorious, but it would've been nice to have a picture of me in it for the website. By the time I got the costume home, it was pretty messed up and I probably won't be able to wear it again. It would require serious repairs and I dont' think I have the time/energy to do that. Oh well, but if anyone reads this and has a picture of me, please send it my way! I will credit you! ^_^ Speaking of the Kaga costume, I'm not going to work with pleather for a while if I can help it. X_X Omg, it got eaten by the machine...My machine just wasn't made for pleather. ^^; Winnie! I finally actually said something to you, though it wasn't much. Your group's costumes looked really awesome and I know most of it was just you and your sister, so boo to the people who didn't help you. XD Yeah, the contacts didn't really show up in the pictures, but they looked awesome on ye. ^_^ And your staff looked really, really good and so unique. Eric, I want another fuzzy moogle hug. ^^ Just have to be careful this time, since I could have smudgeable make-up and I wouldn't want to get it on the moogle fun. >.<; But yeah, I should've gone and hugged ye in the green room. It was FREEZING! And I wasn't wearing the warmest costume ever. >.<; I should've brought my kaga jacket with me. ^^; That thing was sooo warm. Jon, Niq, Keith, Jeff, Dani, Dan, Bianco, J.J. and that girl who I was never introduced to (sorry, but I'm not psychic and never learned what your name was ^^; If I have been introduced to ye since then, sorry, but I didn't link the two together. ^^;;;), It was nice to see all of you again (or meet ye, depending). Thanks for making the convention worth it...I really appreciated the company, even if you did keep disappearing and I had a horrible time finding you all at various points in time. Oh, and you didn't even realise that was me, did you, J.J.? Oh well, I think you know now. =P Or, at least, I will be disappointed if you don't recognise me next time we run into each other. Seriously, though, without the group of you strange UTM people, I don't know how I would've got through the convention. Everything else just didn't work out the way it was supposed to. I'm disappointed, Niq, I thought you were going to write a nice long rant about the convention. =P And Jeff, why are you so lazy about scanning those pics??? I thought you were working on them at one point in time! Bianco, do a more obvious cosplay next time...I'm sure you can manage it. ^_^ Jon, don't be so hard to find next time. =P Dan, you looked good as Ayame, but don't leave the costume to the VERY last minute! >.<; *pokes you* Next time I am expecting you people to do a group skit in the masquerade. ^_^ That would be nice to see. Mekou-chan, don't worry about the FF photo meet up that ye had planned...Things happen, sometimes. See you at CNAnime. ^_^ I can't recall all the costume worshipping I did, but there are quite a few costumes that stand out. I'll just put a short list here because I can't remember what I was going to say about each. -- Winnie, Eric and SMA's FFX group -- Black Chii -- Super tall Sailor Saturn -- the Windy card -- Kimba the White Lion -- Excel Saga group -- Sandrock -- Renamon -- Taomon -- Skuld -- Eriya and Nariya So cool. ^_^ Good job, everyone! |
