Kumoricon Report and Kitten
14 years ago
(Mostly copy-pasted from DA, sorry!)
Wow that was crazy. Let me tell you, wearing a steel-boned corset two days in a row can be rough!
So lessee highlights from the convention...
Absolutely tons of cosplayers, and not just the anime variety either. I saw the unnamed zombie from 'Hanna is Not a Boy's Name', and a creeper from Minecraft! The creeper I beat in a game of red-light green-light during the 'Anime Hunters' panel (which was suffering from technical difficulties.) Also found an excellent new board game called 7 Wonders, found a wonderful new tea shop (and a random photographer inside), had my first fancy bar drink (in full steampunk garb) and met up with some old friends. All in all great fun! (Also as soon as I have links I'll post pictures of myself, and point you to my sister's cosplays, they were all fantastic).
As I type this I've just cleared my message center, and have a sleeping kitten in my lap. Her name is Lotus, she's a grey-point Siamese (at least partially) and a rescue kitty. Poor dear has a mild upper respiratory infection, but is rapidly recovering with antibiotics. This is the part where I nag you to spay and neuter your pets, and promise you pictures later.
Anyway I need to pass out, likely with a kitty in my bed. (She is the master of guilt, tried to convince her to sleep elsewhere but the sad mewing was too much) How was your labor day weekend, American types? And your normal (?) weekend for the rest of my friendly watchers?

And it sounds like you had a blast at the convention.
Looking forward to seeing pictures later. =D
Cameras fascinate my pets, they always wonder what's going ne when we get one out in our house.
