So! Katsucon! It's been so long since I've attended it, it's my first time at Gaylord! And seriously, that hotel is BEAUTIFUL. Although there was this whole deal with BBYO, I still had a lot of fun!
FRIDAYI had gotten to
's house the previous night with
and our other friends, so after food shopping and picking up last minute stuff, us girls got to the con center at around 1pm. After meeting up with out roommates (we had a connecting room with some other friends), I changed into Akashi Seijuro from Kuroko no Basket. Special thanks to
for lending me her sneakers which I OH SO INTELLIGENTLY forgot.
Isn't our group so colorful? Too bad we are missing Murasakibara, please apply (jkjk).
was our photographer and we ran around playing with balls. The group ended up in the hotel's gym and we seriously just goofed around there. Not totally goofing off, I mean, we did work out a bit with the machines and all... just... not that much. We end the workout with more goofing around until Angela's camera ran out of battery. It's okay! Me and
ran off to (accidently) meet up with our friends doing Utapuri and Fate/Zero. I then proceed to steal
's drink... it's okay Douchmesh, Kirei got you more.
After that, I returned to my room and changed into Saber from Fate/Zero. The version I'm doing is not very popular, it's just a white dress from the cover of Girl's Comic Anthology:
Our photographer this time is
, my Aomine from the KnB shoot! This shoot got delayed quite a bit and we were all quite tired when it actually started. I think we were so tired, in fact, that we were just laughing at anything from delirium and exhaustion. I feel sorry for our Gilgamesh, being so... butt naked in the middle of the hallway. It has also been FOREVER since I last cosplayed with Effey, so it was good to catch-up again.
SATURDAY Although I originally had 3 cosplay lined up today, due to my own stupidity, I was only able to do one. Which was Yuzuraiha Inori from Guilty Crown. Special thanks to Ayli and Mako (I don't think either of them have DA) for being my booty guard as this cosplay was... WAY out of my comfort zone (as my ex-roommate put it: 'It's not even in the same galaxy as your comfort zone!')
Since I had the entire day to get into the cos and my Shu won't be able to join me until night, I took my time getting myself used to the cosplay. I spend the morning/early morning in just the make up and only put on the cosplay in late afternoon, and spend a few hours just hanging with friends or hiding in my room. Once I learned how to move in the cos and where the kinks are, I ate a little bit before I was joined by Shu. We first did a... very interesting shoot with
, then another one with
. We and Jeff, who was Shu's friend and cosplaying Sanji (thank you for the jacket! It was warm~) then went to the sports bar for a few drinks and was joined by the other Canadians. Unfortunately, we couldn't play for long as check out was the next day.
SUNDAYThe cosplay I probably spend the most time on and still have so much bone to pick, but we had a very colorful Amnesia group, I seriously, seriously, love my group.
We even found a Orion to join~ This is the first time I cosplayed with
, I hope you had as much fun as I did! We also kidnapped a Sawa,
, so
could have some best friend timez~ We spend the entire day in Amnesia and goofing off before we left the con center. We got fried chicken on the way back and more fried chicken the next day. The whole group spend the night at Kira's.
MONDAYToday was total hangout, we rolled around until Kira had to go to work and then we move the party over to
's house. The group also made time for some shopping times at DSW and Joann's before meeting Gumi's BF. By the time I got home, it was around 8pm.
OVERALLThis con started out VERY stressful. Mom was ill, I didn't get the sewing done, I keep forgetting things... nothing was going right. But by the time I GOT to the con center and am surrounded by friends... the stress gave away to fun times. I can't thank my friends and roommate enough for a great weekend. Although I missed seeing a lot of people, I also made a number of new friends (if you guys see this, please tell me your DA so I can stalk you!)
