Another Ohayocon Gone By...
The memory is still fond in my memory, I shoved a duffle-bag full of boots & clothes into the trunk of a old friends car...Kissed my wife goodbye, then headed to Columbus,OH for Ohayocon 09'.
4 years later, I have missed yet another con...
At con I feel free, not just this con, but at any con I feel free...I feel free to be myself amongst other people who are just as big fans as I am.
Ohayocon though was the funnest convention I had ever been to & my first, the most memorable weekend.
Just meeting some of the voice actors, spending time with them, and meeting new faces was a great experience for me. I remember running from the Vic mignogna concert with a group of friends to his signing, then meeting him again later. Getting to work with Greg Ayers on the jwalk during the rave, then getting to rock out to Dir En Grey, lipping the words and getting people to jump, even a few moshed to it. It was awesome...then the rave, meeting my friend Jax. then above all, the one memory that makes me facepalm but laugh at the same time, getting bubble tea on high street in columbus, walking the sidewalks in big platform boots, slipping in the middle of the road, I put the tea in front of me, throwing my body to where it would land safely, it was my first bubble tea and I wasnt going to loose it. XD
Now I am sitting here, seeing posts from friends over facebook about them heading to con, or having fun at con...
If I had went this year I would have cosplayed YFC Gackt...but not having a job & school put a hinder on that...really frustrates me because I haven't been there in years, I was in columbus a couple times last year, but didn't get to spend much time with friends...I would have gotten to this weekend...but I am stuck at home.
it brings tears to my eyes honestly, because I enjoy anime cons, or cons in general... I need to get my head out of my ass & find a job so I can save up to maybe get to go to Anthro-con & Ohayocon next year...Take my wife so she can experience it & have a good time, it would be a nice get away for us..
well, heres to hoping next year I can attend...
