Cool! I'm gonna try to get all of these AX reports together and web them. I just
dropped off my film, but it's gonna take two weeks to get back to me (since I ordered
photo CD's). *sigh* I've got some great shots, tho. :)
You gonna put them up as well?
Yep!
Coolness. Next year I remember a camara(gotta get one first tho...
^_^).
Heh. My prep was to pack a bag Wendsday night. I worked a half day
myself.
*nodnod* I had to remember my cordials (I brought more than one, actually), guest
book for the AX info desk, snacks, music for the trip down, CD player, etc.,etc... ^^;;
Heh. My CD player lives in my backpack. My backpack is almost
permanently attached to me...
That was your guest book on the info desk?
I finally got on the road at about 2:30, and arrived in town just after 9 too. Well, after
getting lost in town. Twice. ^^;;
We got a bit lost ourselves. That construction mess screwed everything
up.
Yeah...
It wasn't too big of a deal. We went down the wrong direction on Ball.
Realized the goof, grabed a map, and figured out what we were supposed
to do...
Friday.
We got up a bit early in order to get a jump on things. My roomies and
I got down to the line for the opening ceremonies around 8:30 or 9 and
we ended up with a pretty good spot in line. A number of Cosplayers
were allready in evidence most notable was the guy with a Gundam(RX?)
costume. He only had the head and chest on, but it looked kinda
cool(wide too).
I think I saw him that morning, too...
He was kinda easy to locate. ^_^
By and large, yes. ^_-
<groan> No puns please... I'm allergic...
I thought Foxtrot was the only BTFH. The rest of you goons, leader or
not were just DBTFHs. I guess you could add "chief" to that but... <g>
Foxtrot is retired. After Foxtrot left the office vacant for several months, Stargazer
volunteered to occupy it, along with a band of Deputies. After school and other
responsibilities forced him to abdicate, I volunteered to take over. *evil grin*
Ah. <shrug> Not that it matters much. You guys don't bug me, I don't
bug you. ^_^
I didn't hear most of the conversations going on at the other end of the
table. I know someone was playing "scare the otaku" for a while
though. ^_^
I would have been the otaku in question... @_@
Heh. I distinctly remember a sudden shift of people in my direction at
one point... <g>
Yeesh. O_o I went to visit a friend in Arcadia for most of Saturday. He would have
_killed_ me if I hadn't visited while I was in the area, so... *shrug* ^^;;
Heh. I almost got killed myself when I didn't have the time to see one
of my friends in SLO. She saw me drive by too. I'm glad she didn't
catch up to me. o.O
Eep!
Eh, 'sokay now. I explained myself and was forgiven. I even got a date
out of the deal. ^_^
I liked the lady who was not Deedlit, myself. *giggle*
Heh. Random comment:There were ALOT of women at the con. I was
impressed.
*shrug* I vaguely remember one of the cosplayers ripping open her blouse during
one of the skits. I remember thinking, if this is how they go about getting attention,
this does not bode well for Generation X... ^^;;
o.O I didn't hear about that one...
I think I know what I'm going to do for a music video at AX next year. On the other
hand, I'd probably end up getting throttled if I try it... ^^;;;;
Go for it! Minna No Anime(CalPolys anime club) might be doing one as
well. We've got the gear. We've got the LDs. We just need the time.
^^;
I need the video equipment, though. I managed to find this cutesy, really annoying
Animaniacs MP3 on the web. It's a parody of another song which people seem to
love to hate, so either they'll really like it (if I manage to get the video done, that is),
or they'll throttle me. ^^;;;
<Kasumi>Oh my.</Kasumi>
Heh. I found cheap copies of Moldiver while I was there. (But it's just RESEARCH
material, honest!)
<snort>Riiggghhtttt....
Well, I bought another Pinky and the Brain tape so that I could research some
material for the sequel to Springtime for Brain in Megatokyo... ^^;;
There's gonna be a sequel? See above statement...
One last thing I almost forgot about Cosplayers...
Naga... ADV... Wow... @.@
Huh? Whatsis?
There was a rather... *ahem* appropriate woman dressed up as Naga from
Slayers working the ADV booth. I'll leave the rest to your
imagination.
I haven't actually seen Slayers. That could be why I didn't get it. ^^;
What!? Maa... Damon, we need to get you out more... Does the term
"Gainaxing" mean anything to you? *boing* ^_^ I'll leave further
etchi comments to the RWML hentai squad...
Now that I think about it, another noteworthy Cosplayer was Ikari
Gendo. He had the glasses, the stare, *everything.* Scary...
Don't recognize the character, or the anime he's from, sorry...
@.@ Neon Genesis Evangelion. You really need to find a Monterey anime
club.
