i have the righteousness of the newly converted!
The subject quote is from K, in case you were wondering. It's a long story.
So, either the woman who K talked to on the phone was lying or the woman we spoke to at the hotel was lazy, because they wouldn't let up check in early. But it was okay--we just got in line for registration a little earlier than we expected. K got glomped by a random sketchy guy while we were in line for the dealers room and they were having some 'light issues' (aka all of the lights in the dealers room randomly shut off about two minutes after they started letting people in so we had to leave while they fixed it) but we did eventually get to buy things. Yay dealer's room! After lunch and checking in we stopped by the first AMV showing but left fairly quickly as we were unimpressed and wanted to go to the 'make your own plushie panel'. I made Chiyo-chan from Azumanga Daioh and K made Shido from Getbackers (hers was ADORABLE). We took a short break for reading (me) and paper-editing (K) in our room, then headed to the Bleach showing. Next was the fan parodies but K and I skipped out to welcome our freshmen and grand-freshmen. There was much hugging and talking, and eventually sleeping.
Saturday was cosplay day! It took me soooo long to get into my Hinoto costume but it did look pretty good. Thanks K for helping me so much with the wig! Everyone else looked amazing, and although I was surprised that more people didn't recognize us, it was still fun. K and I went to an AMAZING panel called 'Downloading, Fansubbing, The Industry, and You'. I may talk about it more later but right now suffice it to say it was great and I so want the moderator to come to PortConMaine if we can get him. Next was 'Anime 101' with almost everyone which is always a good time. After a quick lunch K and I attempted to recreate the reading-and-paper-editing but ended up taking naps. Dinner with E's parents was followed by watching some of 'Psychic Academy' which is funny although the animation is pretty bad. I wouldn't buy it but it was entertaining. S and I tried the dance but spent more of our time distinguishing the 3 groups (the young innocents, the ravers, and the people having sex on the dance floor) than actually dancing.
Today we went to the Anime Club Summit, which was pretty ambitiously named considering that approximately 8 people came (4 of those being from Colgate) but was still interesting. We said goodbye to everyone else and made one last dealers room run, then headed out.
And the inevitable list: what I bought! I think I showed some restraint....anyway.
Friday
•3 decks of cards--Tenjou Tenge, Wolf's Rain, and Full Moon o Sagashite (yay!)
•Kare Kano volumes 4-5 (it says something that volume 5 of at least 17 in the manga is approximately to episode 15 or 16 in the anime...)
•Paradise Kiss volumes 1-2
•Socrates In Love (the actual book, not the manga adaptation--it's the best selling book ever in Japan, and supposed to be really good)
•Nana artbook (a manga serialed in Shojo Beat, and amazing)
•Tsubasa cell phone straps (Sakura, Syoran, Fai and I gave Kurogane to Kris)
Sunday
•Full Moon o Sagashite artbook
•Full Moon o Sagashite pillow (I really do love this series)
•Wings of Honneamise (legal, used, $10. Yay!)
•MeruPuri volume 1 (it's shojo fantasy and looks really cute)
•Tokyo Babylon volumes 1-5 (the temptation was unbearable, and I would have bought the whole run except they didn't have it)
•R.O.D. TV keychain (super chibi Anita, for anyone who's watched the series)
•2 packages of Mahoromatic trading cards, just for fun
10 volumes of manga! I think I'll need to expand my manga section on my shelves.
Now we're back at K's apartment, where we'll spend one last night being geeky before heading back to the 'real world'. *sigh* Well, it was fun while it lasted. Nekocon was fun
That's all I have to write about....later, all!

the copy of fruits basket you left
Re: the copy of fruits basket you left
How was the concert? What have you guys been singing?
no subject
Anyway, sorry about Furuba - I didn't realize Furuba=Fruits Basket so I was all like I guess we don't have it here after all. Silly me! But you're coming to visit and you can get it then, so it's all to the good. Of course, it's possible I will have chained myself to my desk and been reduced to a blackened skeleton clacking my bones as I type away at whatever paper I'm working on by then, but you know.
