I went to FANEXPO
11 years ago
Hello my darlingsIm back from fanexpo (well on sunday but i was relaxing) and it was a pretty alright fanexpo as far as fanexpos go!
The plan was to go Saturday and thats it but I ended up going Sunday too, last minute! In the morning I did the late-for-school anime run all the way to the train station to catch the 9:13 train and I JUST made it in time for the train to find out... THERE WAS NO 9:13 TRAIN THAT DAY. So I was thinking "woohoo... off to a grrrreeeat start!". sitting in the station for half an hour in costume, no makeup, lost my voice, covered in sweat... and I made a friend! the only other person there in costume XD
We took the train together and then I realized IFHBWIGLTSIGL IM LATE FOR MY PHOTOSHOOT I HAVE 10 MINUTES TO RUN ALL THE WAY TO THE CONVENTION DO MY MAKEUP AND GET TO THE MEET SPOT
that didnt go so smoothly, as it takes 15 minutes to get to the convention... so i was over half an hour late for my half hour shoot..... ;_____; luckily my wonderful wonderful photographer wasnt mad at me and didnt skin me! she had just switched my shoot with someone elses and did mine after! ahhhhhhhh reliefe! and then it started pouring rain... thunder and lightning... just before my shoot...
WELL did my shoot! then did a shoot with someone else! (for like an hour and a half @_@) then did a tiny mini shoot with someone else and some other people wanted pictures and that was all fantastic <3 so hopefully i get some good ones out of all of that!!
Was supposed to meet up with some people who were going to let me borrow their pas to get in and meet up with
nicnak044 so she could try on her head, they didnt end up being able to help me so i had to sneak in because nikki couldnt leave her table... ISNUCKINSSSSHHHHHHHDONTTELLSSHHHH
I ended up buying a wonderful Moon stick <3 >u< (practically the main reason i went to the con was to buy it) I also got some manga, 2 cute rings and some buttons! I then eventually met up with my train station friend again and her other friend and we sat until we got kicked out for closing. Me and my new friend were on out way home when... WE MISSED THE TRAIN. BECAUSE IT. WAS. FULL. luckily we cought the LAST train right after it. and all the rest of the way home she begged me to come sunday, so i did!
On sunday i accidentally left too early and got there an hour early thinking we were catching the train at 9 instead of 10... woops....met another friend, and then we all hung around outside, walked around the con a bit, danced and did other things ANDTHENIFOUND
All_Purpose_White_Glue (tia) whom i didnt know was coming. she got a pass off her friend and we went and walked around the con some more. there was literally nothing to buy. all of the bootleg figures were just... that was all of them. all the figures were bootlegs. some were LAUGHABLY bad, i picked one up and LAUGHED AT THE SELLER LIKE "UR ACTUALLY SELLING THIS OMG AHHA WHO WOULD BUY THIS?! HAHAHAH LOOK AT IT! ITS SO BAD" ...later on i came back and they were sold out and i just.... i feel so..so bad for those poor people... i sincerely hope they all bought them as jokes. After the con closed me and my new friends (WHO ARE ALL LIKE 14-16 YRSOLD AND I AM 20 AND THEY THOUGHT I WAS YOUNGER THAN THEM) went out for korean bbq and it was soooo good, and TIA LEFT ME AND DIDNT COME WITH US. (so now when we go to the picnic in a couple weeks we will be going there afterwardsss!)
I didnt really look at the video game booths, there was a GSC and Koto(i think) booth and those were cool!!! I got to see toon link nendo and momoe figma IRL and WOW MOMOE IS SUPER SUPPPEEERRRR SMALL!!!!! way smaller than ide expected! The con was a rip off, most booths had tax... TAX AT A CON FOR UR BOOTLEG MERCH. food was waayyyy overpriced ($4 for a muffin? no thnx) and you had to actually buy tickets ON TOP OF your tickets to get in, to just SEE the celebrity guests! though the governer (walking dead) was just standing in the dealers room and I walked past him and was like "w...wait what..?! what?!" i regret not going back but the crowd in there is like a really strong water current :C
and i think thats it!!
my costume went over well!
Ill be going to the roundhouse park picnic on the 20th as hachikuji again
Im excited to be doing sailor moon (in many many months)
but right now i neeeeedddd to focus on making momoe nagisa!!! i hope to make her trumpet and have it actually blow bubbles!
