Anyway. So what's been up with me. Last weekend I did end up going to AXNY for two days. It was a few of my friends' first con so I had to be there for support. Unfortunately, they weren't there to stop me when I spent all my freaking money again. And there wasn't even any dj involved! DAmmit!

Before I go on about all the great and retarded purchases I made, I need to mention the most horrible thing that happened. I lost my precious Gackt bracelet. In the dealer's room, and according to a dealer, a kid had walked away with it. The staff helped me make an announcement and all, but no turn up. I stopped every kid I saw there like a crazy bitch. Sometimes twice, when I could no longer remember who I had and hadn't asked. I was very, very sad. Okay, I was devastated. I totally broke down and it's not something I like to think back on. The day was ruined, I couldn't even shop. And I think I really, really freaked Dave out.

But the next day was much better. I tried to forget about it, and as a result, spent all the friggin' money I said I couldn't spend. I bought a lot of Saiyuki posters for some reason. Stopped by Copic Marker to pick up a few things I absolutely could not afford, got a lil Malice Mizer tee =P (why the hell did I buy that?), a few Luna Sea seals, Saiyuki Reload 1 Sp. Ed. (Yay!! two Sanzos!), and a few other misc items. My stupidest purchase was a $35 Weiß Kreuz cloth pencil case. I had liked it because it's a large, flat pocket with smaller pockets for your pens and you then fold it into fours, held down by a strap...-_-, well it was black...and had the cute pj chibis on it...argh, yes I know I'm stupid and was totally ripped off. It was only 1200yen and the dude charged $35! Oh well, what's done it done. But the highlight of the con was the GREAT deal the guy from Sasuga gave me. Sold me 3 artbooks selling for over $100 at other tables for just $80! *And* he threw in the official Saiyuki poster and pack of G Fantasy trading cards I was going to purchase for free! ^o^ And I didn't even ask him to. Wasn't even trying to bargain to begin with! He was SO nice! Sweet Japanese man. I remember he was at Shoujocon, too and he and his co-worker were also really nice, catering to my picky poster selecting (still can't believe they didn't have one of Sanzo when they had one of Kougaiji =/). Now I have all the Backgammon books. =) And the card pack had a real spiffy Sanzo card inside. He really made me feel so much better. I wanted to go back there and give him a hug when I left. Though I'd trade it all back for my bracelet -_-.

Well, we spent most of our time in the DR. There was a gorgeous VHD: Bloodlust cel of D for sale. 12k baby. I was afraid to drool too close and kept my humble distance. I regret not picking up a movie poster. My friends each bought a Slayers DVD box set for $80 and had them signed by Slayers' writer and artist (their names escape me at the mo). I'm very glad I never watched Slayers, heh. The artist (who signed his name 'Tommy') was incredibly nice and did a line drawing for every fan that wanted one. And the line was damn long. First time I'd ever seen a Japanese guest do that.

The only other things we went to were the AMV contest and Cosplay contest. The AMVs were alright. There weren't many entries so no screening was done beforehand. I saw a few that were at SJcon, like "Shuichi's Question" (still kinda surprised that won 1st at sjcon, but I guess fanservice is fanservice) and that got a lot of laughs. And not a few "WTF?-laughs", most of the audience being male. VHD: Bloodlust amvs seem to love using Liberi Fatali and The Phantom of the Opera. Not that I'm complaining, I love all three. I personally loved "Once Upon a Hero" by DJ Fritz, Princess Mononoke amv. "West Side Bebop" was really well done as well, and won for comedy and overall.

The cosplay "Masquerade" was kinda cheezy at first, but got better later on. The MC had a tux on and gave a whole over-extravagant theme to it because the Mariott is on Broadway, which makes it a "Broadway Premiere", yes, very clever. They're all broadway stars now. So you can imagine how odd it was after all that fanfare to see a group of young boys dressed from Trigun amble onto the stage to do their skit. -_-

Anyway, most of the skits were mediocre. The few that really stood out were the ones that won of course. And those few also had the most amazing costumes. There was a hilarious FF7 skit. Apparently they didn't have a Cloud, and propped up a large portrait of him instead. Tifa and Aeris were fighting over Cloud and began lip-syncing to "The Boy Is Mine" when out of nowhere, Sephiroth dances a funky dance onto the stage, up to the big Cloud picture and starts molesting the hell out of it. The female percentage of the audience was *screaming* (I was too). You'd think it was Yaoi-con. ^^;; Even my male companions were cracking up. But the laughs stopped and they started hooting themselves when Tifa and Aeris started making out. Hehehe, it was an amusing skit. Something for everyone I guess. And the guy cosplaying Sephiroth made him seem quite demented. X)

I suppose overall, the cosplay was alright. The fact that our seats were shitty, might have had something to do with it, too.

I took a pic with a really great Cloud cosplay though. He was Asian and didn't have blonde hair, but he did the spikes rather well. The day before he had done an even better job at cosplaying Squall. I think my friend got a pic of that. There was an *incredible* cosplay of Jenova (FF7)! Won Best of Show of course. And Craftsmanship. And Individual. ^^ The eye on her mask glowed and everything! She won a 5-disc DVD player and 2 *Bloodlust* cels! Lucky girl.

Ohh, and I finally posted up a few pics from Shoujocon. Only a few had come out any good. Shoujocon 2002
