Well, the title really explains it all. Finally, a journal with a PURPOSE! Anyway, I had a great time over the weekend at NekoCon, at the HRCC (Hampton Roads Convention Center) in Hampton (duh :P) Virginia. :D! I would have posted this Sunday night, but photobucket is being stupid and I took 70 pics. It will only post 6 of them so far D:. So, being the impatient person I am, I'm posting these 6 right now ^_^. Well, later I am. I'm telling you about it first. So, if you want pics and pics only, take my advice and scroll down a bit :]. SO now to begin!!
Friday.
Friday, my mom wouldn't let me skip school OR take me out early. So, technically, I missed the first 4-6 hours of the con :D! Lovley, eh? Oh well, didn't miss anything too cool. Actually, I almost killed my chance at Friday con-ness anyway. I was in last class and almost passed out because it was an oven in there D:. Anyway, got it taken care of and was perfect all day. Peachy! So we get to the convention center, and Ash decides she would like to go. Even better, I won't be alone! ^^ So we both register, and get our little bags. We look inside. A manga magazine... A schedule/map... A plushie o.o... A harmonica o.O... A couple ads for animes xD... A cell phone strap O.o... and... A cucumber O.O;? Yes, they gave us a cucumber. SO now I have a plastic cucumber laying around the house somewhere ^_^! I looks at the schedule, and there's nothing in paticular I'd like to do. So, I go up and have a look around the hotel room. NICE hotel, by the way! :D. Drop some stuff off, and get back down. I see another friend then, Toni from Kentuckey. I decide I want in the dealer's room, right now. SO I go in and it's HUGE! >w< You can find anything Japanese-related there, I'm SURE! Jrock/Jpop CDs, plushies, wallscrolls, snacks, drinks, katanas, daggers, contacts, video games, cosplay, keychains, action figures! I didn't see EVERYTHING, so I'm sure that list is not complete. Not having any money, I went back out and met with Toni again. Walked around randomly then and hung out in the hotel. Exciting, yes. After that, I went to the dance line. Got to the dance (I didn't have glosticks that night D: ) and danced a bit. Then I left and met Ashley and Jeremy! They was waiting for a ride I think, but I stopped and talked a bit. Got back to the room around... Ehh, I'd say 11. Put finishing touches on muh Ed cosplay, and went to sleep, it was 3 before I was done though xD. Friday, over.
Saturday.
W00T! SATURDAY WAS HERE! The day most of the stuff goes on! I went down to breakfast, already in my Edo cosplay. When I saw the only drink they had was milk, I went up and got a Dr. Pepper. Edo will NOT be seen drinking milk. Went in the convention itself, and saw the registration line. Oh. My. God. I was so glad I got an all-weekend registration yesterday, the line was STOPPED and HUGE. Anyway, I went and explored a bit, got familiar with everything, and not just the upstairs/dealers room :D. LOL. Anyway, then I went to wake Ash up and got her down. We went to a BLEACH panel, at 10am W00T! lol... We watched episode ehhh I think it was 94... And then had some trivia stuff. The people hoped that people who hadn't seen it long would be there, but then we were like "Iy's 10am, only the real fans are here >:D" and it was true. I played Rock Paper Scissors! with a guy next to me, to answer a trivia question, to get a prize xD. He won. Lol. Question: Why does Kenpachi wear his eyepatch? Answer: To hold his power back. That much spirit power, would be too much for ANYONE to stand, and when he challenges someone, he believes they aren't worhty of that much power. ANYWAYYY then we met up with Toni again. We sat along a wall, and played cards. Then we saw a great cosplay. Run, pic, back. Run, pic, back. We did this for anhour or so. Then we went to the dealers room again, and I bought some YanYan and Ramune. Ramune is good. Very good ^_^. I got Peach and Orange. I liked the Peach better :D. After that, it was a race for pics. We wandered around for HOURS doing nothing but "CanI get a picture pleaseee?". Then Porsha got out there and I finally met her. (I MET JOOOOO!). We saw a hot guy and got a pic of him and stalked him for a bit :D. It was fun ^_^. Then we went to the cosplay line (Hottio still in front of us xD) and it was HUGE. By the time I got 10 people from in there, it was standing room only, and with my feet/legs, I can't stand through 2 hours of... stuff... v.v SO I missed the cosplay. We brought Porsha up to the room, and hung out there for a couple minutes. Oh yeah, since I don't feel like going back 5 hours in the journal, I'll tell you here. At 2 me, Ash, and Porsha all went to see the FMA movie and Ash left for the room half-way through it :D. It was fun. Anyway, we went upstairs again and saw the most hilarious fight going on. Spear Cid vs. Banana Cid! Who shall win?! (It won't let me post the video -_-) LOL. Then we went back down and met with parents in the hotel lobby. I took random videos, scanning the enviroment. Porsha had to leave at 7-7:30, I forget when she ended up leaving v_v. Sigh. I went back, and wandered around for a bit. Saw Ashley and Jeremy again! They were going to a Naruto tournament in the video game room. I went... and STILL wandered xD. Finally got in line for the dance. I JOINED A HUGE CONGA LINE! We were dancing there and it passed by and they were like "JOIN IN JOIN IN!" so we were like "OK OK!". Tehn they were really fast and the lady behing me was going "TOO FAST TOO FAST!" and holding me back so I started yelling "TOO FAST TOO FAST JACK SLOW DOWN!" because Jack Sparrow was leading us. lol. Danced untill 11 or so. When I got back to the hotel, I could barely stand, thats why I left. When I got back, I took the stairs. I passed the elevator and there was a huge line. The middle one was there, but I decided to take the stairs instead. When I got to the 4th floor, there was a person in a suit scrwing something into the middle elevator. I got to the room, not thinking much of it. I went back outside and saw a very crowded middle elevator, stopped at the 4th floor, broken down. So we ALL started taking pics. And waving. And using fake-sign-language because we don't know real sign language. Then Ash had an idea. Me and her stood outside holding signs that said "HAVING FUN?!" lol. Then we watched some Robot Chicken. Then we went and rode elvators to the 10th floor. Went back down, watched Trinity Blood and BLEACH. After, Ash turned to CSI and I fell asleep (only having 4 hours of sleep for two day can wear you down :P).
Sunday.
Nothing really happened this day... I saw a REALLY cool Kon! And I didn't have my camera D:. I wish I did. -_-;. Anyway, I got a Kon plushie, Nekocon shirt, and 2 FMA action figures from the dealers room. Packed up a room. Saw hottio again :D. Got another pic LOL. ^_^ Then me and Ash hung around and did... nothing... Pretty much... Waiting for closing ceremonies, a staffer ran up and asked "HI! WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE A GOPHER AND JOIN THE GOPHER ARMY?" so we did. :D! I went and helped a dealer pack up all his goods from 3:40-5:30. He had lots. @.@. Oh well xD. He gave us (I was working with someone else who had been there all day I think) chews, pocky, and ramen. :D! Yup, that concludes the con pretty much.
Now for pics of DOOM! Yes, some of them are blurry or glared, I know.
