SOLD OUT / Akicon Report

Tue Nov 10, 2009, 5:00 PM
.......Holy shit.
.........WE SOLD OUT OF ALL OF THE FIRST PRESS COPIES OF ELECTRIC SHEEP AT AKICON.
Thank you to everyone who came to my concert, bought my CD, and supported me through this con. I seriously didn't know if I was going to make it, but I managed to pull through thanks to everyone:heart:


AKICON REPORT:

Friday:
I was woken up with the exciting text from my Lee-san that made me hope that against all odds she was at Akicon, but unfortunately, she was in the Californias still. SAKURACON IS TOO FAR AWAY. ;-;

I got so little sleep, but I was super happy to get Luffy done~ (....although I is not wearing it outdoors for a while >w< so cold!) I had my wonderful big brother:iconshadownet752: and grandpa :icondracocirrus: to hang out with~ Someday I will get a whole straw hat pirate group together~ (JAZMINS BE MY SUPER MOE USOPP.)
I can't wait to see pictures from that shoot~
I also made some little kids happy with my Luffy, and it made me want to do more recognisable cosplay, since I've never experienced that before with doing super minor/non-childrens series~ =w=
Also Japanese people being all "HOLYSHIT LUFFY" was also pretty awesome. XDDD
One Piece is one of my longest fandoms, since I've grown up with it, and it's made me so happy that it finally happened =w=~!

Later on, I changed in to P4 with my lovely Nanako-tan :iconhakukumo: (I swear, her "Onii-chan!" has the destructive power previously unknown to mankind) and Kenshiro' Doujima. We had to work around a pretty limited set, but I do think we all did our best, and some of my favorite pictures turned out pretty amazing~ =w=
Also, Sandy, Ash, Rasha, you guys are my heroes for making P4 possible~! >w<

I'm a little dissapointed that pop'n music didn't happen, but this just means we'll have to go up to Canadia to shoot it~:heart:
Also my darling :iconultimaaa: brought the bounty of Canada with her (a load of timbits and coffee crips), which were a godsend at 12:00 AM XD
Uhh, some other stuffins happened, but I'm not entirely too sure about what happened in the meantime.
I saw lots of Hetalia this day, and reaaaaaaaaally wish I had Honda-sensei's (imagined) magical girl quick change powers.


Saturday:
Sat started a bit late for me, since I was fixing up Neru (I still can't remember why on Earth I decided to put it together and tear it apart again -_-;;;)
I wore my Japan for the first half of the day......only to miss the entire Hetalia shoot. OTL
FFFFFFFFFFFFFF WHY DO I FAIL SO MUCH. GUHHHHH.
However, I managed to break free of my Hikikomori tendencies and made friendly with some nice Hetalia cosplayers, so it wan't completely the fail.
FFFFFFFFFF SANDY/TESSY/HANNAH YOU GUYS SHOULD DO THE ALLIES AT NEXT GASU AND I WILL BRING THE AXIS AND WE WILL HAS AWESOME PHOTON TIMES. I NEED IT TO HAPPEN LIKE BURNING.

I also got my box of CDs from Karl on Sat, and something about having a giant stack of CDs in hand was so amazing. I just wanted to run in to some sound proof room, and roll about while squealing. But instead, Carina *who makes the most moe tsundere-tastic England evahhhh~ MY INNER HONDA HAD TO BE HOSPITALIZED DUE TO BLOOD LOSS. ISLAND NATIONS FTW.* and sat around and some how managed to sell CDs while lolling about in Hetalia. =w=
Sometime later we went to dinner as silly Carinabot had not had any energy packs that day, and changed in to Vocaloid after that. I apologise to everyone that had to wait on us, we had no idea people were wating for so long or that Dennys would take almost 2 hours just to get some food.
Also, I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANOTHER DENNYS UNTIL AT LEAST NEXT AKICON.
Vocaloid shoot was rather hectic but I enjoyed just milling about with people I knew~
Also, Triple Baka and Neru/Haku times happened so I was pretty satisfied~:heart:

Then afterwards there was rave.... THAT ME AND CARINA MADE SUPER AWESOME BY PLAYING ANIMU AND GAME MUSIC. Apparently their DJ ditched out last min, so we supplied some music~ I never thought I'd becable to dance to Subasekai and capsule and LM.C and AAA and T.M. Revolution at a con T_T SO MUCH THE ENJOY. I think we were up untill 4 AM? @_@
After wasrd we went hottubbing *which had a craptonne of loud and irritating asian boys* and suuuuuper late night Dennys *where I pretty much fell asleep @_@*
Thank you for letting me stay in the room last minute Saku~:heart:
ALSO I WILL NOT REST UNTIL I GET MY KISSY LISSU FACE. :<

Ohh so thats what it is! It sounds amazing, the only thing is I live 5 hours away from Seattle so I most likely won't be able to attend. :( I wish I could though! It would be awesome to be able to hang out with you and a bunch of other hetalia cosplayers!
