Back from A-Kon Dallas!
17 years ago
That's right old Loopy went to Anime con Dallas again this year. It wasn't as good this time around and was a tad bummed by that. However I still had fun and I met some really cool people and got some numbers.
First off the con did not have as many cool cosplayers this year as usual that I noticed.
I found a lot of BAD chainmail there and only a small handfull I would not consider just plain garbage. I saw a guy in a knight outfit there and I asked if I could inspect his chainmail and he said ok and I started to list off some details and I mentioned the fact that his suit was actualy just machine made mesh and not hand made chainmail armor and a few other things about his outfit and he started getting figity and said he was in a hurry and had to go. lol I guess he didn't like tha fact I knew his outfit wasn't very good but what do you expect when you cheap out.
I was wearing my stompin boots the whole con which normally would not bother me too much but after having stood and walked around all day when it came time to go to the rave I could hardly move. The first DJ made me want to hurl. He had less skill then a 13 year old with a copy of Fruity Loops. He had the speakers set up wrong to the point that a band roady would cringe. He butchered several very good songs which made me angry and he was not able to even keep the beat flowing right. Thankfully after he finished a fellow from Austin got on and he even opened up with KMFDM Megalomaniac from Symbols that he had remixed just a bit. I ended walking out with glow sticks stuck in the bottom of my boots from when I steped on some.
I shall be posting a few pics of the trip just for fun but I most likely shall remove them in a few weeks. (EDIT OK since apparently people like them and are faving the pics I shall just send them to scraps)
In other news I STILL have not fixed my compter so I am still limited in my online time but I shall fix this problem ASAP.
Whadafuckinwunmunmun!!!

OP
Hahaha the con does not suck. It happens to be one of, if not THE best anime con in the country. I just go every year and have been to other cons as well. It was not AS awesome as it normally is. Other then the events and such not striking my fancy I ended up just hanging out with people the whole time so it was still like a weekend long party.
