Ohayo convention; the results [image heavy]
DEAR LORD I HAD A BLAST!!
(even if I was feeling a bit sick and exhausted the whole time!)
It all started Friday morning. Around 8 in the morning we headed over to my grandmother's house.
Mom had to take her to an eye appointment before we left. We didn't leave till about after noon.
Seriously, I think the only tedious thing was waiting for mom to get back so we can go.
So we're on Interstate 71, heading for Columbus!
We spent most of the time playing our PSPs, listening to music, and dancing.
(I was mostly dancing xDD but my friends, Cassie, KC, and Jake joined in has back up dancers!)
So we got closer to the Ohio border and we knew when we were there.
Seriously, who could miss that sign? XD
So we continued along I-71 and eventually...
WE SEE BUILDINGS!! WE MADE IT TO COLUMBUS!!
But warning: If it's your first time in Columbus Ohio, let's just say that the roads like to tease you.
As mom put it, there were spaghetti roads that spread out! xD
And honestly, the city looks pretty but there was ALOT of graffiti on everything!
There was one trailer that said "POKE" on it near our Hotel... *laughs*
But the inner city is nice though!
So we get to our hotel and we get ourselves ready for the first night of convention madness!!
We didn't dress up in cosplay just yet. We were saving that for Saturday.
So we got in line, bought our 3-day pass, which was $50! yay!
First place we went to:
THE DEALERS ROOM.
People were not kidding when this was 3x bigger than the one at Anime Crossroads.
This place was so freaking huge!! But it was so pretty! Must have been the lights xD
Upstairs was the Artist's Alley. So many talented people!!
And there was a girl cosplaying as the Ballerina from "DISTRESS & COMA" from the JRock band, the GazettE!
I so wish I got a picture of her D:
So, in the dealer's room, we made a left and looked at the figurines which is where I bought:
(at bottom) MY ROY MUSTANG FIGURINE!!!!!
I love him so much! and right after I bought him, I was ranting to Cassie on how this is from
the scene where he found out that Envy killed Maes Hughes and Roy lost his cool
shooting his flame alchemy at him with pin point and far distance range attacks.
(above): Then later I bought a Roy Phone Charm! He's so cute! ^////^ and I bought Cassie her
Maes Hughes one. Hughes looked adorable! D:
We left the Dealer's room for a bit and went off to look at other things.
Roaming the halls we found an area where all the FMA cosplayers were gathered!
I saw:
2 Roy Mustangs
2 Envys
+ 1 shrimp form Envy xD
2 Rizas
+ 1 Hayate!
2 Lust
1 Gluttony
and 1 Kimblee
But then Cassie and I looked to our right and we saw:
EDWARD ELRIC AND MAES HUGHES!!!!!! <3
That particular Hughes kept stalking us...
(or so we told ourselves xD)
Everywhere we went, he was there and it was driving Cassie nuts!!
(i.e. Hughes is her favorite~)
And yes.... he showed us his picture of Elicia....... XDDD
The night continued and then we decided to call it quits for the night and save the rest of the action for Saturday.
We woke up the next morning and we got on our cosplay!
Cassie was Deidara
Jake and KC were Tobi
and I was Love is War Miku(o)~
But I ended up taking it off....
I was very aggitated and near breaking point for some odd reason
so I didn't cosplay....*sighs*
BUT THE CONVENTION CHEERED ME UP!!
So Cassie and I checked out the Hetalia Panel...
I MET PATRICK SEITZ, THE VOICE OF GERMANY!!
He was so sweet and nice and funny! So cheerful too!
I got his autograph too! He wrote:
"Kaycee, Thanks for hitting it up at the panel - I'm digging the Domo shirt!!
-Patrick Seitz, "Germany" "
I look like shit in the picture but oh well!! I don't care! It's Patrick~
So, I bought myself a Fullmetal Alchemist bag. I love it to death!
It has Roy, Riza, Alphonse, and Edward on it!! So many pockets too!
But after I bought that, I looked at my right... and I blinked for a few seconds.
I called for Cassie's name but she wasn't there.
I found her outside the dealer booth and I told her to follow me.
I pointed something out to her and her soul nearly flew from her body...
ZACK FAIR ACTION FIGURE.
She quickly bought it. xD She was in heaven for the rest of the day.
Jack and KC doing their little Mini Me pose XD
(Jake obviously being Mini Me)
So, I even bought myself a state alchemist watch.
I WAS SO EXCITED!! NOW MY ROY COSPLAY WILL BE COMPLETE!
AND I HAVE THE AUTHORITY OF A MAJOR!!
It hasn't left my pocket since.
But they got the inscripture wrong D:
It's supposed to be "03.Oct.11"
Instead its "03.Oct.10"
Irked me a bit....... BUT ITS STILL THE WATCH!! <3
After buying my watch, and while Cassie was buying hers
I found:
GENESIS RHAPSODOS!!!!
I didn't hesitate! I went up to him and asked for his picture!
He was the only one there, and I'm so glad that he was there!
Before we left the convention, Cassie and I were going around trying to find two certain people
who in the Final Fantasy World, are our heros.
We saw them earlier but we lost them, so the whole day we were looking for them.
We were so glad when we did and before we left...
ANGEAL HEWLEY AND ZACK FAIR!!!
We found them later and Angeal was singing "One-Winged Angel"
with a violinist who could could actually play the song on the violin!
I HAD TO...... :3
the newest issue of SHOXX, with the Gazeboys!!
Came with 3 posters.... great more stuff to put on my walls xD
Like I promised, I bought my friend her Edward Plushie.
I can't wait to give it to her at school.
And I bought the 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist!
I can't wait to watch more of it!!
