We were confused until we looked across the street to the light rail station where a bunch of elementary/middle school kids (presumably there for a field trip at the Tech Museum) were screaming "HICCUUP!!!" at Julie from across the street; one kid even ran all the way down along the station following us. Julie waved and had Toothless wave at them, and then we ran on ahead. Best moment of the con!!

[pretty pose~]
-Artist Alley~ Scoped out what to buy on Monday because we had no cash left lol
-Julie and I went home to pick up my sister's glasses and change into T.K. (Digimon 02) and Yuri (ToV) for comfort when watching Masquerade~)
-Meanwhile grabbed Subway and Taco Bell~
-Line for Masq; T.K. so popular!!! Sadly this is the only photo of T.K. I have. THE BEST RIGHT??
-Masquerade...lots of dancing skits. But still some really enjoyable skits! My favorite was the Star Driver skit, and also was very impressed by the Portal skit. Also adored the martial arts club Avatar skit (TOPH YOU RULE) and the pirate Avatar skit; and also had a good laugh at the Odin Sphere/Sailor Moon con skit, and the Syaoran + Bad Idea Mokonas skit; and actually was really impressed by the Hazel and Gat Saiyuki dance skit, even if it was soooo fanservice (but dude those LIFTS! the other dude was thin but guys are way heavier than like ballerinas no matter how thin they are). AND HUGE congrats to makkurakoyappi, kerorii, and random_karen for Best Group Craftsmanship for the French Revolution skit, and sakurae for Best in Show for the Geass skit!!"
-Went home after that and watched Tiger and Bunny! Then slept earlier lol
Sunday's awesome cosplay!
