Sucker for the underrated. Huge on nostalgia. Posting animated movies and cartoons, comics, films and gifs.
I feel like the bad kind of geeky when I’m in London, Paris, and Rome and thoughts of Ratatoullie, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Sword in the Stone, and Hercules keep running through my head…
Too much to do tonight…pack for Europe, clean house (don’t want to come back to any smelly trash), and edit a-kon photos @-@
Btw I’m going to Europe tomorrow for several days…I’ve been recovering from the con and now I’m off again…I miss the internet and tumblr so much D:
Omg, my voice is so shot…I blame Medieval Times :)
A-kon 24 con report!! I haven’t been back to A-Kon since 2006…we had a falling out with the cosplay contest back when we were young and I hadn’t been back since…but upon the realization that Emily and Kristin hadn’t ever gone before, and the announcement of the new hotel, we decided to hit it up this year and check it out.
Quickest summary: The con itself…pretty lackluster. I wasn’t interested in going to any panels/programming (any program worth going to had very intimidating lines… mebe when I was young I would take it, but not anymore). The hotel overall was spacious enough to hold the attendees, but how the queues and the layout was set up was RIDICULOUS…that bottleneck hallway that led to the dealer’s room, artist alley, prereg/registration, AND food was ridiculous. I was lucky to not have to deal with the worst of it (where people were crammed into it and no proper line and wasn’t moving at all…pretty much they looked like trapped sardines). We stayed at the Anatole and all the removed amenities were the worst. No extra blankets, iron, or HAIRDRYER?? WTF. We were paying so much money to be inside the hotel and got so little. Also I had asked for a tower room but they put us in the atrium (which was really far from the exhibit hall…like…very, very far)…my printout had asked for the tower, and originally stated $17 for parking and they charged $19 (not to mention $20/night fee that our 2 nd car got stuck behind…)
Anyhow, hanging out with friends in cosplay was really the best. The artist alley really impressed me with how many amazing artists/booth setups there were. The con planning/programming was meh but the location was so bare bones that I refuse to stay there and ever again. Didn’t even have a tag to put “Privacy Please” on our door =_= Smaller cons are so much more fun than line-cons.
Con memories behind the cut…
(btw guys sorry for not being on tumblr…been marathon working on cosplay for the past month. But in other news, will see yall at A-kon if you’re going!)
I started working on cosplay nearly at the beginning of April (right after Anime Matsuri)…and now with less than 2 weeks away from A-kon let’s see how delayed we are by the amount of redos I’ve had to do:
I have a calendar that I use to track my progress and hopefully plan ahead…but by now it almost looks like I shifted everything out of the month of April and May because I was redoing so many things =_= but all I have left now are the magazine pouches and styling the wig~ If I can get a pattern down for the pouches, it really shouldn’t be too difficult.
But here’s hoping I can make a decent shield for Homura then by A-kon…I need a prop mentor @_@
normally i write this stuff on my cosplay fb page, but i just feel like a whiner and tumblr is used to little shits like me
4th time’s a charm…-_-
oh wow I got recognized in Victoria Secret by a salesperson/fitter for being in JAC Productions (like, the me from 8 years ago)
the person was really sweet about it, it made me smile probably too much. Probably cuz of +1 detective skills of asking my name to confirm who I was while I was trying on stuff (in retrospect, usually the sales person gives you THEIR name, not you giving your name. Very sly). Also weird that i had talked to her about the bra I was buying beforehand…welps, guess it was a surreal moment for her too.
I made a little lobster family out of our meal last night…
I’ve been listening to the Tarzan soundtrack and having so many feels. I need to watch that movie again soon…
