    when i planned cons

    Ash – I was looking at us going to Animazement again, but your graduation is right the same weekend. I’m going to Katsucon on friday morning. If you can get the day off, I need to know asap… if you can’t, don’t worry about it, I’m going to go by myself to mostly sell stuff. I would like you to…

    Best. Weekend. Ever.

    Ok, so I just got back from dragoncon (it’s 12:30 now, as soon as I finish writing this I’m going to BED.) While the entire weekend had more than it’s share of moments, I just had to post these as soon as I got home. Tomorrow, hopefully, I’ll write up a full report before I forget everything. Anyway… These particular…

    when anime expo was a reality

    After Animazement Ash and I started joking around about skipping all conventions next year and putting all our money towards going to Anime Expo (which is the big ole’ convention in California) I wasn’t serious about it – I mean, I’d LOVE to go, but I rather go to a handful of small conventions over the course of a few…

    when i found more pics!

    More Animazement pictures … there’s me and Ash on the first page of pics as Xiaoyu (tho we’re listed as “more card captor sakuras”!) And then later on there’s two of me as Lulu. You know, I realise I didn’t wear my wig correctly, now. The part of hair on the right side of my head should have been over…

    Leaving for Animazement 2002

    Yep, tomorrow at this time I’ll be at Animazement 😀 I know this should go in my cosplay journal, but OH WELL! Xiaoyu… I’m pretty satisfied with Xiaoyu. I’ll probably wear it most of the day friday, with Ash in her 1P Xiaoyu costume. Speaking of which, I painted the design on the back of Ash’s Xiaoyu costume, and I’m…

    Hotels

    We found a hotel in Nashville…. we’re going to stay there Thursday night and then get up there and catch our 6AM flight to Durham for Animazement. That way we won’t have to drive all night and then be dragging all day friday. Ash is considering going to Dragoncon with us. Plus, if she goes to Dragoncon, it cuts down…

    She-Ra wig & Animazement plans!

    I got my She-Ra wig the other day. It cracks me up 😀 I do not make a good blonde. It’s like, the same colour as my skin. I was not born to be a blonde. I’ve talked about our Animazement travel plans before, about how rough it was last year, and how rough it will be this year. We…

    Upcoming Costume Ideas…

    Hmm… I’m gonna go out into the woods and take some new pictures of my elf costume this afternoon. Ash and I talked for a long time about our costumes at the basketball game saturday night. I can’t find the stupid piece of paper where I wrote it all down, but Ash is looking at Meryl, pink outfit Ling Xiaoyu,…

    Upcoming Cons & Costumes!

    I’m fixing to add a few things to the bottom of this page, so I thought I’d talk about the cons for next year. I really don’t know how people manage to go to so many throughout the year! Cath, Ash and I are all planning on going to MidSouthCon in March. We’re pretty sure we’re going to go to…

    when i shared our mtac recap

    MTAC TRIP REPORT!! Thursday We left Memphis around 4:30 in the afternoon, and didn’t make it to the hotel until around 10. We got lost!!! I’ve been spoiled by staying in nice hotels the last two times I’ve gone out of town. One of those was a really nice Clarion (Claritin) in Gatlinburg, and I was expecting similar with this…

    when i was mad at the mtac hotel

    Well, until I finish my report (can’t now, mom’s on the computer I started writing it on), I’ll just say a few things. I hate the Claritin (Clarion). MTAC staff & everybody at the con were friendly, nice and made the whole thing worth it. They rock. I still can’t believe I won a prize in the cosplay! What did…
