Kero-chan’s Travels
Looky! I’m updating my livejournal! I never do that!! (SORRY ABOUT NO LJ CUT!! I DON’T KNOW HOW TO DO IT!! DEAL WITH IT!!) But I feel that I must do something to tell you guys about Anime Boston.
Cuz it was freaking awesome!!
I think I may have had the most fun ever and I never wanted to leave! So here goes, my re-cap of Anime Boston!!
Friday Morning: Ok, so Friday morning we woke up and I put on my costume and watched Sena put on hers and then Lizzi knocked on the door and I answered because Sena was still putting on her costume and then I told Lizzi she looked hot in her Irvine costume because Irvine is hot *and* she was wearing a heavy coat. So then we went upstairs and were goofy until Emi showed up, and she looked so cute in her Sakura costume and then Sena finished putting on her costume and we piled into their car and started driving. We listened to Avenue Q and Disney songs on the way to Boston, which was fun until Sena’s parents couldn’t find the hotel. There was some swearing and tempers ran high, but we all got their in one piece.
About Noon: We got to the con around early afternoon. We went into the hotel and peed and then I took a few pictures of some cosplayers in the hotel lobby. Emi, Lizzi, Sena and I went from there to the convention hall, where we wandered around until we found the registration room. We bumped into Danny in there, where we discovered that he makes the best Ash ever! I got my tag and someone asked to take my picture, and then we continued onward. We wandered around Artist’s Alley and the dealer’s room for a while. I took pictures of everyone with cool costumes, including an incredible Lynx from Chrono something, and this really accurate Tidus. After looking as his picture, he’s not as hot as I remember, but that’s ok, he was still pleasant to look at. I befriended the guy selling the yaoi, you know, ‘Don’t keep this boys in the closet,’ ‘Harry Butt-hole Potter,’ and ‘Butt-Pirates of the Caribbean.’ I went to his booth once and didn’t buy anything, I went back again and asked for Gojyo and Hakkai loveliness, which he found for me, and I named him the Porn-Peddler. I asked if I could call him that, and at first he said no, but then he liked it. I bought my porn (two out of three are fluidless, but dirty, and the third is sweet, but I don’t know what’s going on…) and then waved at him a lot. I enjoyed myself thoroughly.
That Evening: After not really eating dinner, we took more pictures and then headed off to ‘Whose Line is it Anime?’ I found it quite enjoyable. There were 4 guys, including the host, and a girl who kinda sucked. So one guy was a comedian from Australia who was dirty and funny, the unfunny airhead girl, some guy who does a voice for someone on FMA and got Angelina Jolie and Lara Croft mixed up, and this adorable purple-haired happy-boy who does the voice of Goku on Saiyuki. He was funny, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the purple-haired boy strip to his boxers and do dirty things with the FMA guy. After that, we wandered more and then went to the dance. We hung with Kupo-chan near the front of the line, where this HOT guy dressed as Shuichi (he didn’t really look like him, but that was totally ok) wanted to hug me cause he said I looked cute. So I hugged hot Shuichi and then danced with Danny and Emi. I went to go request a song that they didn’t have, and then I realized that the DJ was the hot Tidus from before. He was hotter in his DJ gear, with the skullcap and large headphones. I took a picture, but it was too dark; it didn’t come out. I still have him being boy band Tidus, so I’m still happy. After that, we went back to our room shoeless and went to bed.
Saturday Morning: Emi and I got Dunkin’ Donuts for breakfast and then we tooled around in the dealers room again. I waved at Mr. Porn-Peddler, bought some manga, and then I felt sick. I went back up to my room an layed down for like, 45 minutes, and then wandered back down to Artist’s Alley to find Emi and Danny. While I was looking for them, some girl selling evil hamsters tossed one in the air and hit me in the head. She apologized and let me have it.
That Afternoon: Emi and I caught up with Kupo-chan because hot-creepy-stalker-skeevy-DJ-Tidus was stalking her. We all headed up to the Gaia panel, where the guys and girl were quite funny and where Emi won me a poster. It was supposed to be one without hot girls on it, but they gave me that one anyway. I don’t really mind, it’s still a cute poster. After that, we both went to the Tokyopop panel, where we learned that Kingdom Hearts is going to be a licensed manga, Saiyuki will come out monthly this summer, and I won a Warcraft manga for answering her question about ‘the little white dragon on Saiyuki.’ After that we went out for Pizza and then headed back up to the main hall.
The Blessed Evening from Heaven: We waited in a deceptively long line to go see Bad Luck perform, but it was worth it. We sat in the back for the first part, and then moved to one of the side sections were we could see better. The cosplay band was pretty good. They sang by themselves and played some instruments, but not all of them. They were all girls, and being such, the Shuichi couldn’t sing that low very well, but she did nicely on all of the middle notes. When the songs were over, she latched on to Yuki’s chest and was quite cute. K-san had lots of guns, too, and we were all happy. When the band was over, the masquerade started, and that included beautiful walk-ons and some cute/funny sketches. Our favorites (the ‘our’ is the unanimous group of screeching fangirls) were the ones with Hakkai and Gojyo and Bakura and Marik. The one with H/G was cute, but inaudible, except for the line that Gojyo said before the screaming started, which was something akin to “I don’t know about you, the priest, or the monkey-boy, but I am not and advocate of abstinence,” and then he made out with Hakkai! Whoo! So what if it was girls dressed as boys?! It was hot both ways!! Bakura and Marik did a Mentos commercial and made out too. The entire auditorium must have gone mute screaming for all the boy kissing. All in all, we were all quite happy. When the amazing costumes were over, we had to leave, but I bumped in to hot Shuichi on the way out, where he asked for a hug again and Sena took our picture. Then we left.
I’ve never had so much fun in my entire life, and I want to go back so badly!!
