Fanime Con Report

This year's Fanime was kinda eh to me. I didn't get to party as much as I would've liked. It was odd to not bump into someone I know every five feet. But I did get to hang out with people I don't normally hang out with! Most plans were either rushed or fell through. Cosplaying was somewhat not as fulfilling as usual for some reason. I wore about half of what I brought, lol. Then there was lack of photoshoots and of me being the wannabe photographer. But there were some highlights, including BEST IN SHOW and random silly moments with friends. :]

FRIDAY:
- Hella late to con. ♥ to random_karen for being my carpool partner.
- MADE IT FROM LA TO SJ ON ONE TANK OF GAS. WAT. Okay, maybe I should give Knives some credit. She is a new car, but I was expecting to have to refuel at least once. I guess not!
- I love cruise control. Why did I never use it until now? I've been missing out!
- Go to Target for button-up vest > come out with whiskey and coke. Alright.
- Saw a flying killer whale. :O
- Paneraaaa with eeveil and bluestraggler. I think I still like Corner Bakery better. :x
- Wrestled with sakurae's Euphemia sleeves of doom.
- Talking closet strikes again.
- Drew amazing Lamont eyebrows on Nat.
- What do you mean there's no printed schedule!?
- Zombie office building. 8|
- Kasuka times with fullmetal_tora, konishii and Tina. Thank you Dan for taking pics! Couldn't wear him with Eve. :C
- Someone called me a "pretty" Kasuka. XD
- No Maka...
- Librarians vs. Barbarians partyyyy.

SATURDAY:
- Nom nom on 85º Bakery goods. Thanks Kristen for bringing them!
- Hetalia times. How did I get myself talked into this? Thank you super_no_1 for humoring us with some last minute photos. And thank you ycysusan for letting me borrow your Taiwan!
- AHH, A KINO. I should've stared at her pouches and other parts of the outfit to see how to make mine. :<
- No Auel...
- Kasuka again for MusicFest. Should've just gone as a civvie. Where were you, Eve? :P
- Tandoori with bombaycake and Annie. I wish I can handle spicy foods...I'm stuck with only ever getting the yogurt-marinated stuff.
- Hung out with mingswly, Eva, Ann, Stella, Susan, tenshiyaki + boyfriend and more in line for MusicFest.
- Started raining. :O Then apparently it started pouring when we all got inside the auditorium.
- Matsushita Yuya is such a pretty pretty boy. He was reading Engrish off of note cards. How adorable was that!? And he couldn't pronounce Brack Butrer. Pfft.
- I enjoyed FLOW more this second time around. I've no idea why.
- Survived combo attack of B.O. from two random otaku who tried to weasel their way closer to the stage. /gags
- Lonely Island Creepers!
- Amusedly watched Camille and Iris walk only about ten feet in twenty minutes cuz they were too sexy in Psylocke and Mai, respectiviely. I think we made some guys jealous cuz we just ran up to hug them and held up the crowd forming to take pics, bwahaha!
- Recognized mymerrilymemory's cleavage from a floor above.
- Hoagie dinner at midnight with ziggybecket. I don't even.
- Stumbled upon a whole slew of people (Steph, Setsu, hakuku, akusesu, Camille, Iris, Dustin, etc.) I rarely get to hang out with on first floor of con center on way to room. Ended up chilling with them for a while.
- Soju + AzN OJ + Calpico = not bad. Thanks Eric for sharing some! As long as evalime doesn't make it. /still thinking about that mango thing from Sakura Gathering, ew...
- Hooker heels walk off turned dance off. /entranced
- Amazed at how well Jimmy can walk in hooker heels. o__o

SUNDAY:
- Hilton buffet breakfast. Aaah, real breakfast foooood.
- No Yui...
- Gay kitty boy time with praedestinatio.
- Steph to the rescue with kitty ears!
- Bought new and better Suu wig from Epic Cosplay.
- Mickey D's with Gin.
- Making faces at Evan every time we saw each other. XD
- Masq was surprisingly good this year even though it had a lot of dancing, kissing and Pokemans. I still want Darryl as the host, not Ric Myers. Booo.
- Loved loved loved educational zombiefied Chevalier/Rose of Versailles, Star Driver men in tights and Portal skits.
- Cheering and complaining during masq on Twitter with friends.
- Horrified at who I think was dancing Ino from a few years back.
- AAAH BEST IN SHOWWWWW (I was the lone stage ninja that saved the day skit, lolol).
- Late ass dinner at Original Joe's. Thank you so much for seating a party of 10 half an hour before close. ;~; Though snippy waiter was snippy.

MONDAY:

- Lunch at Hydration with Kristen, Tora, Nat, Oscar, Tina + 2 others.
- Quick shoot with Susan. Thank you!
- Sonic! I finally got to go to a Sonic! I got a mocha java chiller. While it was yummy, the calories made me cringe. Their tater tots were pretty good, too.
- FREEWAY PARTY. Some accident closed down all southbound lanes on 5 for about half an hour.
- Kimi running AROUND my car right when we stopped. Me: /jaw dropped, eyes following her
- Thank god for Karen reading my Twitter outta boredom and finding hybrid_twist's suggestion of using a detour to avoid those two construction zones. But going 25 miles due east before going south again was still kinda ew.
- AHHHH @ two cars who tried to surpass other cars in their own lane by coming into ours and barely making it back in. @___@
- On the road for 7 hours. /ded Used less gas coming down than going up. I guess not using a/c makes a pretty big difference...
