AnimeFest aka BEST CON EVER!!

Journal Entry: Wed Sep 7, 2011, 2:19 PM
Hey, sorry this is a little delayed. As you may have herd there are fires in Texas and some of my friends have had to evacuate, so I was trying to see if they were all ok (and they are, some don't know about there homes, but THEY are ok). We are safe where we are but just in case we are not unpacking our bags.

Anyway, I had so much fun and met so many great people! The con went really well for me but some friends and some people I'm a fan of had some trouble, and I do want to say that my heart goes out to you guys!

Thursday:

I stayed up late and woke up early Thursday morning (as we all do XD), I tried to finish packing and got pretty far before we had to go take our dogs to the kennel. When we got home from that out dad had already gotten home with our grandmother and they were finishing up things with her. I went and finished packing and tried to help my grandmother to the truck, but my parents pretty much got it all taken care of (its hard for her to get around with her new leg, because if I remember correctly she has just gotten it not long before then). After that we went to the airport and said our goodbyes. Then we came back home and loaded up the truck and changed into cosplay (I was Shizuo). We stopped off by Walmart on our way out to pick up some food and things for some of our cosplays. We got there a little after eight and went to go get our badges a little after nine. There was NO line, and we managed to get our brothers badge at the same time. It really turned out great! Then we got some food and went back to the room to get ready for the next day. Around four in the morning someone pulled the fire alarm and I stayed up for the next few hours (or maybe just an hour... I don't remember).

Friday:

I ended up waking up a little before eight, and changed into Shizuo. Not much happened that morning besides saying hi to :icontoontwins: and checked out some other things. All the panels we had planned to go to were delayed/canceled. After the dealers room opened, we went on in and looked around where we then saw :iconmalindachan: and :iconsorceresscassandra: (sorry I didn't recognize you at first ^^')! We talked to them for a little wile and then went... somewhere. Sorry I forgot most everything about that day. But we saw some people and hung around for a wile. We did go to the opening ceremony, and the cosplay runway. After that we went to our room and I found I had a voice mail and it was my grandmother (my other one) telling me that some of my family were coming to the con! I didn't even know anyone in my family liked anime! So that was great!

Saturday:

Oh Saturday! Woke up, put on Anbu Naruto, and went off to look for people and go to some panels (which most of didn't happen)! I ran into :iconex-shadow: :iconmalindachan: and :iconsorceresscassandra:. I took a picture of :iconsorceresscassandra:'s most epic Stefon cosplay (sp?)! I saw them several times throughout the day, and got some more pictures of them. Then some of my family got there and we tried to help them out a bit but we didn't really do much. We then went to the mascot panel (which was totally awesome!)(haha :iconex-shadow: was dressed as Shizuo and an Izaya walked by and so Shizuo yelled Izaya and it was really loud and I couldn't help but laugh) along with our family but all but one left (if you read this, I'm glad that you like anime! We should get together and watch anime all day!). I forgot to say that sometime before the panel :iconmazzthegreat: was proposed to by a Naruto (hehe whats your username again?)! It was so funny! I went and hugged Hinata XDDDDDDD Funny thing is, is I'm not the biggest fan of that paring XD But I do like! But anyway, after the panel, I head :iconex-shadow: say he was going to a Drarara photoshoot and I was all like 'THERE IS A DRARARA PHOTOSHOOT?!?!?' and so we ran back up and changed into Shizuo and Izaya and well I got lost so :iconex-shadow: had to come get us (thank you so so so so so much!). After that, I'm not to sure what we did. I've slept sense then XD OH! I forgot to say! Before the panel our mom called us saying that P.S. was there! So we got to go see then and take a picture!

Sunday:

Woke up early, almost finished my Jack wig (but I still wore it), changed into Jack, and went down to the convention. Verry soon after that we ran into :iconangiiaikukki: (we ran into you Saturday too I think) :iconinufan078: (sorry I didn't recognize you at first) :iconjace-burner: and someone else (I'm soooo sorry! I don't remember who you were!). I want to thank all of you sooooooo much for letting us hang around with you!! You guys really did make my day!! After that we went to the wig panel that :iconmalindachan: did all by herself (and she did an amazing job at it too!) and then we parted ways. A little bit later we found :iconinufan078: and walked over to get some food (she had already eaten though) and there we ran into everyone else again! After that we all headed over to the Yu-Gi-Oh! shoot! Then after that we got hopelessly lost (I do want to thank you for the help with where good photoshoot spots were but the people we were doing it for then said oh no we found someone else and so it never happened. Also the person that was on that floor had already left so we could have just gone to out floor... but we got lost, and it took us a wile to find our room again. But again THANK YOU SO MUCH). A little later we went off to go find RZ to ask if he was hungry or not (turned out he was back in the room) so we went over and sat down and I tried to play fastball on my phone but failed... a lot... and the we were called over to go sit with everyone (who were sitting near by) and it made us so ridiculously happy! I thank you all sooooo much for letting us hang around with you!!!!! It didn't make our day, it made our con!!! Then everyone left to go eat and change into pants (lol) so I dueled Jaden and well... Jack: -1100 Jaden: 4000............................... I lasted, what, three turns? My excuse was I wasn't using my deck (well, I was using a bunch of cards. Not even a deck) but then Jaden (:iconinufan078:) wasn't ether... so yeah, I'm no longer the King... After that we went to the cosplay show! It was really awesome! I LOVED all the skits! Everyone else has posted a lot about it so I'm not going to say much but it was awesome! Oh, and yeah, around one in the morning (when we were all asleep) someone pulled the fire alarm only this time it went off in our room... scared the poo out of me!

Monday:

Woke up at like ten... didn't put my contacts in, didn't put my glasses on, didn't put makeup on, (I do want to say that I did take a shower every day) just changed into Shizuo again, and walked around. We went to the dealers room again where we saw :iconsorceresscassandra: and :iconkamekazewatermelon: (that was you right?) and talked with them for a wile before they had to go. After that we stopped by :iconslifertheskydragon:'s table again and bought some more things (awesome things) where I also saw :iconmalindachan: one last time. Then the con was over. We went up and did a Drarara photoshoot with just the two of us and it was really fun seeing as the wind was worse! Got some funny pictures! After that we walked around a bit, then we went on a hunt for a steak n' shake and an hour later we found one! We ate and headed back. A little after we got back we packed up most of our stuff and went to bed. Well, after I stopped turning the lights on we went to bed anyway... yeahhhhh....

Tuesday:

Tuesday I woke up to my mom on the phone with my aunt talking about the fire. It kinda put a damper (more like a soaker) on the entire day (and today). But we finished packing, walked around a bit, and then headed home.


Overall, best con ever! I know I've only been to three and the first one was so slow and not con like, but it really was amazing! I don't think I've ever had so much fun! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO LET US HANG OUT WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope I for that all in order ^^'
V-Logs will be up sometime. Seeing that I don't have the San Japan ones up yet it will probably take me a wile. But they will be up one day!
Also, I didn't really get any pictures from ether shoots. Would anyone mind if I upload one or two of yours? I would give you %100 credit (well thats a given)!
OH OH OH!! ALSO!! Me, :iconinufan078:, and :iconmazzthegreat:, now have a DA account Rainbow-Scissors (:iconrainbow-scissors:)! Check us out?


Sorry for spelling, grammar, and whatever else is wrong with this. I'm tired and to lazy to go back and check it.

I want to so bad!!! And by then I won't be in high school anymore, so I won't have to worry about skipping. It's just money that might get in my way.
