Anime Expo '08

[evanae]

Hrm. Okay, well this'll be long, but what's to be expected of con reports?

Friday
:: Code Geass R2 times. OMFG IT WAS HOT and I was the least clothed one, too. But we had sexy graffiti'ed alley shoot time.
:: Walked around by myself for a bit, got my badge, found my sis and some other ppl.
:: A bit late to the Soul Eater shoot w/ asianschoolboy but it was UBER FUN. So many crack shots. XD Thank you, Andy! Thank you everyone for coming, too! You guys were all AWESOME!
:: nerdcore and I going delirious while waiting for a table at Danny's and making noises at a bldg looked like it was throwing up fireworks. XD
:: Fun Denny's times afterwards~ Met JJ and Ally (I hope I got your names right...) who made an awesome Soul and Maka~
:: Got lost driving around...

Saturday
:: Makamaka all day w/ Black*Star/bluestraggler. I totally am not used to being stopped left and right, it was nice. Maybe I need to stop cosplaying from obscure series. XD;
:: Bought a sexy PMK doujin. Overpriced from "Come get your man love" guy's booth but the prettyness made me feel better.
:: Bought Something Colorful, an artbook anthology of sorts of fanart artists. Got a happy free print w/ it. :3
:: Went to the Soul Eater gathering but wasn't really in it. Hung out w/ silver_ruby and bluestraggler. I found a hot Papa. Got pics w/ him. /fangirls
:: Fun flipflop Blair and Maka times~ Waist up photos plz.
:: Epic shuttle adventure to the Westin Bonaventure for shabushabusushi. Note to self: Do not eat at hotel restaurants ever again. Forgot how pricey they can be. @__@;
:: Met Nita and Jo-Ann. They made such a cute Black*Star and Tsubaki pair. X3 We never did take a proper pic together did we?
:: Got lost driving around again...I swear I've lived here all my life but downtown LA still confuses the hell outta me. :(

Sunday
:: Kinda only bought a Friday/Saturday badge but they weren't really checking so I went anyway.
:: Wore Tetsu cuz unlock said so. Got five pics taken! And two recognitions! Woo! Srsly, I didn't realize the series was this obscure. Ah well.
:: Saw a sexy fattastik in her Eruka Frog then found a whitelilacs.
:: Visited the Bandai booth for the Gurren Lagann thing then walked around dealer's hall w/ lovely ppls. Met Alice and this cute guy who's gonna do Suzu at PMX!
:: Finally got that Korean Illustration book. It's so freakin' pretttyyy. *__*
:: Did a mini-shoot for unlock and nerdcore in sexy Reborn!
:: I'll never look at another camera w/ huge lenses the same again. Thanks to asianschoolboy, muzek, and er some girl whom I didn't get her name. Lol.
:: SHABU SHABU w/ ziggybecket, asianschoolboy, honmani, slave_to_anime, muzek, and Aldo and his gf. Much movie and camera geekery were to be had where honmani and I were lost.

:: ziggybecket : It's weird that I've seen you so many times this month, but it was great seeing you. I still think you should still move down here. XD

AX this year totally felt like an epic gathering of friends rather than a con. I don't know if it's cuz I commuted or what. I also wasn't really sure what to expect due to the new location. But it was fun nonetheless despite the few frustrations that were to be had but that was really no one's fault at all.

I'mma attempt to upload the photos I took this weekend along w/ the ones taken at muzek's party a few weeks ago sometime this week. Sorry for the wait!

Augh, I can't walk, sit, or stand w/o hurting. Why am I so soreee? ;___;

amazing weekend~ thank you for EVERYTHING!! ♥

[silver-ruby.livejournal.com]

Yes, thank you; I really didn't know how to respond when that guy asked me that. XDDDDDDDDD I was more stunned I was asked such a direct and.... terrible pickup line.

[evanae.livejournal.com]

You're welcome and no problem! It was fun! Like a big ol' sleepover. XD

[evanae.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the presentation was horrible. He stuttured and was not confident at all. A failed pickup line, I say. :( /sarcasm

[shuupoo.livejournal.com]

you were such a cute cute Maka, I wanna do soul eater with you guys next time too~~~~

[evanae.livejournal.com]

I want you to join in! It'll be fuunnnn. :3

[hybrid-twist.livejournal.com]

It was great seeing you again too. I really wish I could have gotten Stein done in time too. >___0

[evanae.livejournal.com]

I wish you could've too. :( Next time! Maybe even a non-con shoot or something.

[nitaspitas.livejournal.com]

I'm the Black Star from Saturday :) (it's Nita, but when I cosplay Nia, I get confused, too... o.O) friended you! <3

[evanae.livejournal.com]

Aah, I'm sorry. I fail w/ names, at least I was one letter off? :x

But ♥~ Yay, you found me! I was actually trying to find you and Jo-Ann by looking thru Karla's f/l, but that kinda didn't work. ^^;

[nitaspitas.livejournal.com]

lol, yeah, i didn't get a chance to add her yet, either, but i think i've got everyone now ^^

Dur still no Soul icon for me *fails*

[random-karen.livejournal.com]

Yay! Fun times (I think nearly everyone was late to the shoot *was totally ready at 5pm*)! I kind of wish we'd all had a chance to walk around the con center in our huge Soul Eater group on Friday because we were all awesome. I would have loved to pull him on again Saturday; if only the gathering was earlier (several people asked me about it, and others really wanted me to wear him again). T__T We should do another shoot sometime!

[evanae.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I thought you had her added already. No wonder I couldn't find your username. XD;

I will SEND you one and you hafta upload it on the spot.

[evanae.livejournal.com]

We run on cosplayer time, of course no one's gonna be on time, lol. I know I always underestimate how long it'll take me to get ready even if it's the most simplest of costumes. ^^;

I kinda wish we were able to as well. :( There'll be next time. A lotta ppl asked me where Soul was on Saturday, too. Yes, shoooot and I'll have my scythe then hopefully so we can have more action shots.
