I had some plans for the last day of the con�one being returning to the dealer�s room and pick up some stuff for me and friends�but that got deleted from the schedule since I spent the ENTIRE morning/afternoon waiting for Vic Mignogna, Scott McNeil and Richerd Ian Cox�s autographs. I didn�t feel too bad�since I was only planning to spend money. ^^; Also, the following events pretty much even things out. ^-^
Vic + Pocky = ^.^
The con staff got smart and separated the line like so: when you get to the end of the line, you can go into the separate room to see Vic/Mike/Mary (and later Scott/Richard,) or you can go directly to the Scott/Richard line. I got Vic to sign Ed�s side of my FMA pic (it is so adorable, I can�t wait to show it to you. ^.^) I was also able to see Vic�s FMA pocket watch that he told us about when I was at Anime Next. (The story behind the watch was that he was ecstatic when he got his pocket watch. However, when he went to a con, he saw a fan with a watch that was bigger, shinier and basically nicer then his. ^-^ So, he struck up a deal with the fan, agreeing to get the limited edition lunchbox (from ADV) that he/she wanted and send it to him/her in exchange for the watch. Truly, the watch was nice and it had the �right?words inside. ^.^)
I was able to give Vic green tea pocky (supposedly a rare treat. ^.^) He received it happily and of course I was thrilled. ^-^
�I-H-S-�forget it. Just write R-A-I.'
After Vic, I headed to the Scott/Richard line and it was still huge I settled in for a long wait. It wasn�t too bad�Richard actually came down the line himself (since Scott was taking his time with fans ^.^) and I got Richard to sign my Inuyasha pic. (Since he wanted a name, I told him to write �Rai.?^^;)
More yaoiness: long hair is good
While I continued to wait for Scott, more yaoi goodies popped up. An ultra cool Gundam Wing team made the scene (minus one Duo because of PMS. ^.^) Wufei, Trowa and Quatre were females�with Heero being the actual male. ^-^ They were 4x5 fans with lots of 4x5 moments. ^.^
Even though I was a major 3x4 fan, I enjoyed every yaoi moment. I got my wish when Trowa lunged out and kissed a surprised Quatre and Wufei ended up chasing Trowa around the room. ^__^ lol
There was also another Heero and Duo and they ended up kissing each other as well. I love 1x2�more yaoi yummyness. ^.^ Many GW pics were taken as others of the cast appeared.
This chaos made the time go by faster and we were finally getting closer to Scott�s proximity. He actually came in our direction since he realized that Duo (the one with Heero) had an authentic super long braid. ^.^ More madness (and hints of yaoi) appeared as he proceeded to play around with Duo�s braid. (Clicks goes the cameras. ^.^)

Seeing that we were waiting oh-so-patiently, he decided to sign autographs for those that needed to leave right away (�cause it was already past 3pm at that time. ^^;) Even though I wanted to stay, I decided to go since my father had to catch the plane that night. (Leaving early was a good thing too since there was TRAFFIC on the way home.) Scott signed my picture of SD-Duo and I had another moment of hilarity before I left. One of the GW cosplayers had a dvd box for Scott to sign, and he remarked, �I never seen this one before.?To which one of her friends exclaimed, �It�s a bootleg!?Everyone laughed as Scott said �Cool!?and started to sing �I�m not getting paid for this??^.^
I was knocked out the whole way home. But I had my last anime moment when we pulled into a rest stop for gas and I saw an actual car (SUV?) with the NERV (Evangelion) label on the door. I really wanted to get a picture of it (guessing it came from the convention as well ^.^) but I couldn�t find it after I went to the restroom. Oh wellz, at least I saw it. That was awesome. If I ever get a car, I�m putting the alchemist symbol on it. ^.^
