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


Jeff and Quinton singing "The Yaoi Song".

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.

Wow, really fun and spiffy cosplay pics, man! You make a great Ed. And fishnets!Tieria wins so hard. XD Very awesome all around, yo. ^^

Aww, thanks! I had a lot of fun this past weekend. And fishnets!Tieria was too good an opportunity to pass up. :D

1)Dude, is that a Gurren shirt/flag?

2)That Lee guy is the sexiest Roy I have ever seen. Bar none. His face is just round and perfect for it. And the bangs. Oooo~ Adorable photoshoot is adorable.

3)Convey my apologies to Victoria for ever doubting her costume-finishing skills.

4)OH MY GOD FISHNETS TIERIA A++ ♥♥♥♥

1. It's a Gurren shirt! It's a little baggy on me, but I had to have it.

2. Isn't he? He gave me his Myspace name, so now I'm friends with him on there. Go me!

3. I will. She did a pretty good job. There was some rushed work done on a couple of the costumes right before they were worn, so there were some things like unfinished seams, but overall it was good.

4. I had to do it. XD

[immelmanturn.livejournal.com]

1. I can only hope there will be some at A-kon. WANT.

2. Pfft, Myspace. For POSERS AND QUINTON FLYNN.

3. I'd love to see more of Shion and CC, but ACen's big enough that I don't think searching through random photo galleries is feasible.

4. Yes. You really, really did. Do you mind if I show my Tieria RP buddy?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_yaten_kou_/]

1. Hopefully you'll be able to find one. I also got an adorable Kamina cellphone charm.

2. Lol. I have one (even though I didn't willingly get one at first). Does that mean I'm a poser? Also, I like how Quinton Flynn has his own category.

3. I wish I had gotten more pics of her. I think I don't have that many because she would split off from the group for good chunks of time to go see the stuff she wanted.

4. Go ahead. I'm all for spreading more Gundam crack around!

1. One day, I will have a cellphone capable of having charms. ONE DAY. I think my phone is known as The Missing Link in Japan.

2. Naah, you're cool. You can be a subcategory of Quinton Flynn.

3. Did anyone else in your group have a camera? Or did she go to any photoshoots for Geass or Higurashi?

4. EXCELLENT~

[http://users.livejournal.com/_yaten_kou_/]

1. Haha. I think Victoria's ancient ghetto phone finally died on her on the last day of the con. She couldn't get it to turn on anymore.

2. I feel special now.

3. I don' think she went to any photoshoots. There were two other cameras in our group, so I shall have to see what kind of pics they got.

[immelmanturn.livejournal.com]

1. Oh dear. Is she going to get a new shiny upgrade?

2. As you should.

3. I await with anticipation~

[http://users.livejournal.com/_yaten_kou_/]

1. I would hope so.

3. So far my search is mostly unsuccessful. I still need to poke my friend Kala for her pictures.

[immelmanturn.livejournal.com]

1. One day, I too will. Maybe I can contrive to send my phone through the washer again.

2. Be assidious. Or you may end up like me, doomed to no pictures at all.

Fun times! Yea, no problem, I'll let you play if I get it. I'm currently the highest bidder, and the auction ends in about 2 hours. I hope I'll get it! PS, I think I may be able to get my brother to play Kingdom Hearts when we get home!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_yaten_kou_/]

Yay! Did you win it?

Your brother should definitely play Kingdom Hearts. Everyone should play Kingdom Hearts.
