Ai-Kon 2010 Con Report

Jul 22, 2010 02:22





lolol so tired.. I came back on tuesday morning at 6am, then went to work later that day and then worked today. but anyway here's a photospam and small report on the small con that is Ai-Kon. It's in winnipeg, manitoba (feels weird to say manitoba, I'm so used to saying ontario at the end of a city lol)

thursday:

at 1am, sonya and I met at the greyhound station to depart. LOL I'm glad she reminded me on fb coz I was going to to friday night accidently aiyaaaa that would've SUCKED. but yeah..

I can't sleep on busses at all.. I'm too light of a sleeper. XD If I don't lie down, the most I can sleep is an hour straight. I prolly only slept 2-3 hours this night

when we woke up, the bus had stopped in sudbury I think. we walked around and I got hashbrowns at mcdonalds.....omnomnom. and we walked by a mental hospital. lol many jokes were had (if only I can remember them LOL my memory's pretty fuzzy of the whole friggin trip coz of lack of sleep)

back on the bus, I started markering in my red cosplay hat lolol.






does it look alright? D8 its not the most uniform hue (I bought more red sharpies at sault st. marie) but as long as it looks alright in photos, I wouldn't mind.

more photos of northern ontario





I walked over to that pizza hut just to smell the pizza *cheap*



friday:



the flat and boring praries! we're here!

we got to winnipeg airport at like... 8? so we took our time getting to the convention centre. the transit bus guy at first wouldn't let us bring all our luggage on board, and said we wouldn't possible ride a bus down. we were like WTF how are we supposed to travel anywhere in this city?? whatever, we did our best to not obstruct the inside of the bus. stupid driver.

we got there, bummed around, and I finished colouring alot of chibis. :D felt very productive. then I slipped into my Red cosplay and foudn that my red contacts dried up LOOOL they were hard and plasticy! so I soaked it in water and hoped for the best for tmr D8 I just wore the wig instead

we setted up our tables~~



mine~



sonya's~ we nabbed good tabes :D

after that, we sat around and sold stuff. I drew a lot today! soo productive. I did a lot of button designs for otakon and stuff, like food group buttons. sonya helped with the food examples lol



my pokemon and soul eater chibis. I sold that chrona to someone lol actually, so I gotta redraw him/her. someone wanted to buy green but they never came back (which is just as well coz he's the hardest to draw ifhdsfldfkn)



food group buttons! hope you can recognize them :P



fat and sugar food group lol~ and nong shim shrimp crackers SO SO GOOD



green tea~~ my character looks so shitty OTL



lol, rofl and lmao buttons. I tried to make them interesting and original (they were based off drafts I doodled in cognitive psych during the summer lol)



sonya's about to throw a big bag of stuffing at me > <



hi sonya hi sonya hi sonya





she was a very pretty miku * 3*

sonya's ankle was swelling so we couldn't go grpery shopping together 8( so I went alone with her instructions. I didn't get lost 8D yey for being able to navigate!





I'm so jealous of the safeways in western canada. so many airmiles!!!!!!! while we get sucky metro :(

anyway, got back after 2 hours and hung out at the hostel's living space/kitchen area. (we stayed at a hostel.. cheaap)



a photo of sonya looking absolutely honkey dorey

saturday:

saturday was pretty good. it was busier! and I bought contact solution on friday night so my contacts were usable in the morning! yey~





I don't like the shape of the hat against the wig.. looks small > < maybe I'll jsut trim the wig so the bangs aren't as long and it might balance out the hat.



luke cosplayer! <3 she was so cute. she was one of the artists in the alley~



pretty luka~ she had an amazing cast of other vocaloids with her but I never got the full group photo > <

later on in the night, sonya and I had an epic game of monopoly!





ughhh landing on baltic sucked! she had a hotel there later on too T 3T...

sonya was so happy when she recieved a shit bunch of money from me ERR...



...but lost nearly all of it HEHEHE to me!!! those dollar bills were her only moneys left

we stopped playing at 12 to get to sleep.

sunday:
