So this year's Otakon was crazy and fun and disappointing. It was really awesome to be able to see Seki Tomokazu! And I was able to have him sign that hard-to-find Weiß photobook that I have. Which was so exciting! I was unbelievably lucky to have done all those things. I have to thank Judy's coworker Manny for getting such a sweet spot on the line, and for letting me take his place! =D
Unfortunately, Seki's Q&A and autograph sessions, on both days, were scheduled at the SAME TIME as the Kingdom Hearts photoshoots! T_T It was so mean! So we missed the KH photoshoot for Friday, which was probably the better one. And even though we went to the Saturday shoot, we only stayed for like 15 minutes because it was totally lame. So that really sucked. I don't quite regret staying at Seki's Q&A session instead of going to the Friday shoot, but I almost do. Dammit.

Anyway, besides that I think we really didn't go to any panels or anything. We stopped into a video room for like 2 minutes because it was semi-dark in there and we were glowing! ^^; We basically did what we normally do -- walk around and get stopped every few minutes for photos. =D
I think our costumes were pretty good considering we really only started working on them 2 weeks before the con. I didn't feel as satisfied by them as I think we might have had we started a bit earlier. But they worked out well. And in some respects, maybe even better than they would have, since we had Judy working with us at the hotel on Thursday night -- she has amazing paint-mixing powers, srsly! If I ever need to paint anything for costumes again I know who to call.

I didn't get to hang out with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sharona1x2 or dc_logan like last year, but at least we bumped into them, so I got to chat for a few minutes. <3 And I know that jana1x2x1 was there, but I didn't get to see her at all. =(
Also, Friday hijinks were fun. We left a little... present in the boys' bathroom. (We had ajoining rooms in our hotel, and it was basically split into the boys' room and the girls' room.) ^^ Don't worry, btw, it's strawberry syrup. Really. ^_~

I'm skipping over lots here, but on the bus ride home we got to watch Yoshi's Sailor Moon DVD! The perfect ending to an awesome con.
