ACen 2008 (Part 2)

[rinlin]

Day 2 of the ACen adventure!

 

Saturday was really fun as well. I cosplayed as Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist and yangwarrior was Envy. stellawind was C.C. from Code Gayass Geass. Nicole was Suzuna from Eyeshield 21 and Kala was still Konan. This was when I really saw the difference between cosplaying a well known character and one that isn't as well known. As Tieria I was only stopped for a few pics. As Ed I quickly lost count of the number of times I was stopped for photos.



We started the day off by going to Q&A With Q&J, Quinton Flynn and Jeff Nimoy's panel. It was a good time. The two of them are so funny. The premiered the first episode of their new web series Adventures in Anime, all about them travelling around to different anime cons. At the panel they filmed footage for the ACen episode of the series. So there is a high possibility that we will be in it once it gets posted online! I liked it when they started singing. We got to hear Q&J sing both "So Happy Together" and "I Think I Love You". And of course they sang "The Yaoi Song". XD

Then there was more shopping in the dealer's room/artist's alley. I bought stuff like the Viewfinder artbook, an ACen shirt, and more FMA DVDs. Then on one of our trips back across the hotel lobby, we were pulled aside by a girl cosplaying Rabi/Ravi/Lavi (whichever name is actually correct). She said she needed help teaching someone how to Caramelldansen. We agreed to help, so she put on the music. It turned into a line of at least a dozen of us cosplayers doing the Caramelldansen. So much fun! Of course, we soon attracted a crowd. And yangwarrior then pulled a timeskip Sasuke in to dance with us. I wish I could have gotten pics of it, but I was too busy dancing. I'm kind of hoping that someone in the crowd recorded it and it'll end up on Youtube.

That afternoon it was off to the FMA photoshoot for me andyangwarrior. Nicole came along as well to be our photo ninja/bitch. The shoot was really well organized and we got a lot of good pics.










When Eds attack.


Winrys are scary.


Dogs of the Military




Eds are small enough to use as footrests.


We've just been torched.


The Eds get revenge on the Roys.






The yaoi paddles. I got hit with one for the first time this year. XD


Then because I am skinny and easy to hold, we have pics of me being held by a couple Roys and my Envy.


Ed loves Envy...?




This is Lee. He made a good Roy and he seemed like a cool guy.


Nicole as Suzuna. Isn't she adorable? Right after this the wind blew up and she had a Marilyn Monroe moment with her skirt.

Now it's time for a few more random pics.




I ran into my friend Eri. She was dressed as a Snorlax. It was cute.


stellawind as C.C. We stopped at McDonald's for dinner. Then we managed to convince C.C. to switch her sponsorship from Pizza Hut to McDonald's.

Later that day we went to the Masquerade. I always enjoy seeing the costumes and skits. My favorite skits this year were the Death Note & Saw parody (even though I hate Saw, it was really funny), Stripper Vash & Voltz's Guy Love skit, and the adorable Riku & Sora skit. I was also amused by the random Rickrolling during the show.

That night we went to the Yaoi panel, which was good times. The cheesy clips of old yaoi anime will never not be amusing. We were going to go to the Soap Bubble, but the line was out the door and down the block. And it was cold and it would randomly start lightly raining. I was disappointed we didn't get to go, but it really wasn't worth waiting outside for hours in that kind of weather. Instead we went back to the room and I curled up with some yaoi.

Most of us ended up having to leave the con by midday on Sunday (even though our original intention was to stay most of the day). We ran around and finished up our last minute shopping. Then it was time to go back home and catch up on our lack of sleep.


This is all the stuff I ended up getting at the con. Yay!


Tieria & Lockon. These figures' poses are so very gay. I love it.

And a bonus for those of you who wanted it *coughimmelmanturncough*

Fishnets Tieria!

I'm going to end with some of the awesome quotes from this weekend.
-"As soon as Tieria leaves the room, Allelujah unzips his pants. Lockon is oblivious."
-"Allelujah needs a bustier."
-"Allelujah's trying on his first corset."
-"STFU. Wait...O?"
-"What's origami? Never mind, I didn't say that."
-"Want to feel my baby? I'm going to name it Quinton, whether it's a boy or a girl."
-"My camera's a woman. It's prissy."
-"You'll need your phone if we get separated. You can put it in my purse...Wait. Forget I said that."
-"Sorry. Naked."
-"I'm positioning your legs."

This concludes my ACen report. I love it and I can't wait to go back again next year! It's become one of the best times I have all year.
