Fanime Con Report
Jun. 21st, 2011 12:47 am
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

Dear noob creepy photographers, This is what not to do. You do realize that her dress and her wig are blending in with the background, right?

Wait... we didn't hang out at all! I didn't even run into you! o.O Nande darou... or did I... that whole weekend was so sleep-deprivedly fuzzy ^^;;;
C.C picture: o.O until I read your comment above, I was like," wow, her dress is HUGE!! =*.*= and her hair is so long!!" .....
We considered doing a detour (using my car's gps) but everywhere looked like the middle of nowhere so was too scared too o.O fwy construction was $%@(F#.

Date: 2011-06-22 10:25 pm (UTC)We ran into each other once! It was on Friday when I was out where the loading area is of the Hilton helping my friend~ And you and Kelly came by in Oofuri!
Haha, I think it could've been an even nicer picture had the background been different. I was just rolling my eyes at Gamefan and a couple other creepy photogs that were milling around her.
The detour wasn't too bad. It was like literally making a 45 degree angle almost. Go inland, then diagonally go south until you hit the 5 again. How long were you stuck for? D:

Date: 2011-06-23 08:40 pm (UTC)!! We did, didn't we!! I was thinking, "actually, I think we did see each other, but I can't remember where or when..." ^^; con zombie timez.
D: I don't know how long it actually took us to get through the construction zone, I kind of spaced out the whole time. ^^; (Despite being the one driving.) I guess I'm used to traffic nowadays, but it did suck. :/
