ladydoujiSo saturday morning I dragged myself out of bed in order to hit Oni-con. I dressed up in lolita with my hair in curls.
Registration was right in the middle of the Artist Alley(next to a door so the line could form outside) Fortunately I got there early enough that the line was short and moved quickly. There were two dealer's rooms this year, one small and right off the Artist Alley, and a main one on the other side of the hotel. I hit the small dealer's room first and got the purchase pieces of my childhood with one dealer selling cels from He-Man, She-Ra, and The Real Ghostbusters. Pretty cheap too.
Met up with my friend Sarah and we headed off to the other dealers room. Stopping on the way to get my picture with a Green Ranger cosplayer. This was apparently my day for nostalgia. As I also saw a wonderful Yusuke cosplayer.
In the dealers toom I found a store that was selling the Myth messenger bags with a bunch of them at 30$ buy one get one free. SO I called up my friend Jen because I knew she had been looking for them, figuring I could send her some pictures get one for her and she pay me back later. Ultimately she decided to hit the con at the urging of her fiance.
I ran home to grab two of my dolls for the planned doll meet(that later I could never find, but oh well) met up with Jen and after getting lunch and meeting with Sarah and her friend on the failed doll meet hunt. We finally hit the dealer's room. First we picked out bags, me getting a Transformers messenger/backpack, and I bought a resin Statue of Cloud that I've been wanting for years, and small plush of Yusuke. Then later getting Zack action figure, some pretty letter openers/doll sword. Did some christmas shopping at a booth that had jewelry, pretty boxes and fairy figurines getting a holiday bubble fairy for Debbie. Then picked up a bento box and egg molds.
Jen and I just sorta walked around talking for a while, and I realized that next year would be my 10th anniversary of being an anime fan and going to conventions(my first was A-kon in 2000) I could kinda like to go up to A-kon next year to commemorate it, but might be hard to find people to go with. All the same I should probably start saving and planning anyway.
Later i'll get a picture of all of my loot and scan the cels to put them up.
