Katsufail 2009
Katsucon is steadily getting worse. This year's con wasn't bad, per se...but the venue was horrible, the events were poorly timed and not spaced out well, and the attendance cap should have been much lower. So nobody I went with, myself included, had very much fun. On top of that, the lack of baseball got to me quickly (nobody recognizing me dressed as Junta did not help) and two of the people staying in our room were quite keen on getting drunk (one of them actually passed out the first night, which was a little nervewracking).
I will list the few good things here, though:
~ I was with my favorite person in the world, so it was all okay. The con was boring in most places, but as long as we were together, it was fine and we were good. I don't know what I would have done or how I would have handled myself without you. You're the best friend I've ever had and I owe you so, so so much. <3
~ Gakuen Heaven. OH MY GOD. This is a GOOD SHOW.
~ I managed to buy Junta. While dressed as Junta. Without being recognized. Actually, there are these Oofuri phone charms released by Yujin, and the second set contained two different Juntas. soprano_no_eiji found a vendor selling set two and she bought Nishihiro and Oki and I bought both Juntas. I am terrible. But Junta is pretty so I don't care.
Seeeee? Two Juntas! One is normal (that smile is way too accurate), whilst the other is pitching out of the stretch, hence the sweat beads on his forehead. Too freaking cute.
Junta bought himself. Twice. And nobody noticed. He was confused.
Oki and Nishihiro! I actually think they're the cutest. Nishihiro's blush lines and Oki's nose kill me. My only complaint is that Oki is left-handed and they accidentally put his glove on his left hand. Oops.
In short, I cannot wait for Otakon. Something that's actually organized will be very, very nice.
(P.S. - Jed, I love you. I will be coming to watch you play in three weeks and I cannot wait!)
