Thursday:
We arrived at the Howard Johnson we were staying at around 6 Pm-ish and pretty much just crashed there for the night.
Friday: Cosplayed: Shugo from Delicious Gakuin and Shishido (Having such an awesome Choutarou was the best, btw). Arrived at the con in my Shugo costume and changed after we were able to check into the Hyatt. The stupid parking situation was ridiculous, but that was the only terribly bad thing that happened. In the dealer's room
mahoubunnybell passed out from her wig cap after I went and got my lame-ass lost in the crowd, which I still feel bad about. Lucky someone helped her out. We had the PoT pizza party, but it wasn't as fun as the last one.
Saturday: Cosplayed: Kirihara and Shishido later on in the night. (Shishido apparently is one of my better cosplays. So is Kirihara...but being Kirihara is PAINFUL...I got slapped.....a lot :p.) There was the PoT photoshoot, but, again, not as fun as last year. Didn't go to the masquerade just because I had no desire to wait in line. I was having too much fun. We ordered dinner during cosplay because, let's face ii, after that was over, all the places that delivered to the hotel were going to be swamped. I had Yakitori ^_^ We met our upstairs neighbor (whom we beckoned down with promises of food, which we gave). Turned out he crossplayed River from Firefly (and didn't do a bad job either, oddly enough). Later that night we went back to the con in plain clothes, but shortly changed into our Hyoutei costumes, me as Shishido,
mahoubunnybell as Choutarou,
lady_jewel as Gakuto and
boldsirrobin as Hiyoshi. ^_^ We went and got our pictures taken at A Fan's View and had lots of fun. I make a very sappy-for-Choutarou Shishido ^_^.
Sunday- Cosplayed: She-Uchimura (You know, Fudomine?) Got dragged around on a leash by Sera who was dressed as Hinaichigo from Rozen Maiden (Which was an adorable cosplay by the way), which was actually very convenient for not getting lost. Bought gifts for Lil' Bro,
jessi, and my cousin. Checked into the Howard Johnson and crashed.
Monday and Tuesday we stayed at
mahoubunnybell's house and generally had lots of fun. Went to Mitsuwa and found AAA's Attack All Around Cd+DVD set ^_^ Which I bought of course. Also went to the biggest mall I've ever been to. Yesterday we left Illinois (I ALREADY MISS YOU SERA~) And came back to my place, letting Duckie crash for the night. I bashed my head in almost the moment I arrived home and my brain is still a little scrambled. Today
lady_jewel and I took Duckie home (I ALREADY MISS DUCKIE TOO...).
Not too much detail but I had fun, let's say that.
List of stuff I bought for myself:
Prince of Tennis Volume 25, 3 PoT Doujin anthologies, Say Please by Miyamoto Kano, Love Mode 9, Takumi-kun anniversary artbook (With a huge section about the movie with lots of adorable pics of Tomo!), a random old copy of Oricon style because it had an article on RUN&RUN, A Jet Monster Doujin (The tenimyu one), 40.5 !, Vol. 1+2 of Renai Houteishiki, the Kazuki and Nakajima Gakuen Heaven manga, Three Wolves Mountain, The AAA cd+dvd box, The Sky over my Spectacles, The First stage of Love and Beyond Scandalous Seiryo University.
That's all I can remember.
