ladydoujiSo after a very restless night of no sleep I got up today and headed out for a day at Kamikaze con in downtown Houston. Did a quick run into work to see about tomorrow, my request is STILL listed as waitlisted >< fuckit! I'm calling off.
Anyway, made it downtwon and found a place to park and headed toward the hotel. Aided and abetted the deliquicy of a minor by pretending to be her gaurdian so she could get into the con. *waves to newly discovered little sister Laura* Put on my kenshin costume after getting my badge and the picture taking began. Apparently I was the only TV kenshin there that day, and I only saw two other people cosplaying kenshin characters, one Sano and one OVA kenshin. Tons of naruto cosplayers though, which did kill my desire to cosplay as a naruto-chan come A-kon. At the same time I'm getting a little tired of my kenshin costume(worn it to three cons already)
Dealers room opened a little late and the damage to the wallet began.
my finds
Fruits Basket Illustrated by Natsuki Takaya artbook
FF 6 shonen ai Edgar/Locke Eternal Heaven dj.
Naruto manga 1&2
Demon Diary 6
Tsubasa 1
Getbackers 8
Playing card decks for FMA, Fruits Basket, and Naruto
Various pins
a silver and garnet ring
a black tank top that says "You don't need to look at my chest. These are not the breasts you're looking for. Move along"
Free stuff
Collector Yui volume 2
Chrono Crusade vol 3
and a Cowboy bebop pin.
Watched some E's Otherwise, remembered I liked that show from the fansub I managed to get. *adds to list of dvds to buy and sighs at the length*
Hit the yaoi panel and learned of a new company planning to liscense and bring yaoi manga over Website here Founded and run completely by fans. Looking forward to see what they have.
I aslo finally got to see a Carrot Glace cosplayer. Poor guy he had been going around with no-one even realizing he was cosplaying until I went up to him and said " You're cosplaying as Carrot Glace, right" His response, "YES!! *hugs me* thank you!!!" Probably helped that I'm a complete Carrot fangirl. ^_^
Also went to the cell painting panel with Steve Bennet, although it should be marketed at a motivation panel with cell painting. He just kept talking and talking and talking. Afterwards I did one last run through the dealers room and saw a t-shirt which required a call to Blue because I knew she would love it. it was black and said
bag of dice. 15$
graph paper. 2.75$
enough imagination to play rpg's: priceless
There are some games money can't buy, for everything else there's Xbox"
After that last run I was exhausted(stupid sleep deprivation) stripped out my costumes(don't worry I had normal street clothes on underneath) Headed out to blue's to give her the shirt, watched the Incredbles and came home.
If anyone cares to see me acting like a geek check out A Fan's View Scroll down and you can see me as Kenshin
and now I'm going to bed.
