PROVIDENCE ANIME CONFERENCE 2008 REPORT!!! 8D
YEAH. FINALLY GOT FREE TIME WHOO! Here goes!
PAC is the first con that I wore my revamped wig and I think it looks AWESUM. Also, raine_sage81 feel free to upload these photos to your cosplay.com account if ya want. ^^
Hay guys am I Ritsuka yet AM I, AM I?? 8DDD
What do YOU want? Hmph. LOL it looks like I lost an ear. I guess it was just a weird angle...
raine_sage81 cosplayed some Marimite on Friday. Lotsa people recognized her character contrary to her own belief... hehe!
Her cosplay was coooooool, I wish I could make pleats like that, gah. XD
Another pose. ^_^
She was spinning around so I caught her in midaction...
Wait, I'm not done. It looks like her hand is doing a disappearing act.
There. Tada! 8D She finished her spin. XD
Now here are some photos from the cosplay fashion show...^^
I can't remember which cosplay this was from (Tsubasa style Sakura??) but it looks nice. Awesome sword.
Dark Saber!!! *drools everywhere*
An Adventure Bros. cosplay group thing.
More Adventure Bros. The butterfly dude hit on me before this event...I found out later his name is "Sketch." Apparently he's well known. More deets on that later.
GAY. I mean, uh, yah.
Dragon Half cosplay. Apparently sexy?? Never saw the series but some guys behind raine_sage81 and I were yelling out obscenities and acting like testosterone-driven idiots... >_> What else is new. It was fun though.
An asian Reno... heheh, from first glance I wanted to say OH HEY, ISN'T THAT JEFF FROM MY OLD WORK (facklemuffin knows him!)?? But upon further inspection, it wasn't. XD Also this Reno was hanging out with Dark Saber during the con, which I found funneh. XDDD
raine_sage81's cute cosplay on Saturday! It's from a manga... sorry I can't remember the name. @_@;;; But it's very nicely made! 8D
Another shot. ^_^ I like the angle here, the light is nice, too.
Saturday night, before we got out of cosplay, we took some photos. ^^
Ritsuka reading... loveless manga. YAY SELF-PROMOTION!!! Ugh, the sweater I'm wearing, albeit an S in petites, is way too baggy on meee, blargh. Though YAY for glasses, but they aren't mine, they're actually raine_sage81's. XD Thanks.
Rikka being moar emo, totally not thinking about Soubi. Nope. "Stupid, weird adult..."
Standoffish school boi? xd
JUST FYI, I HATE WHAT PHOTOBUCKET DID TO THEIR INTERFACE. IT'S SO ANNOYING, EWWW.
Ahem.
As for events, we went to a lot of panels, moreso than any other con... ^^ which I dunno what that says, but they had some interesting guests! I got to meet Tristen Citrine, a well known cosplayer, who also made CosWorx. ^^ I met some voice actors and prop makers and I even went to a yaoi panel (we played Pin the Cock on the Bishounen, OH MY! I won free yaoi manga, wut. Not that I needed it... XD). I went to my first time Anime Hell and Anime Unscripted, both very funny. XD I liked the Lame Ass Anime panel the best tough... or whatever it was called.
Moar about Lame Ass Anime: THE ANIME SHOWN THERE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN MADE, OMG, IT WAS SO HORRIBLE BUT I LAUGHED SO MUCH. AUUUuuUuuUGH. Man, anime is just full of all sorts of crap... like 5 minutes of men just "going to work" yeah IT TOOK 5 MINUTES. AUGH. I wanted to rip my hair out by the end of it. Oh and there was this awful anime about Frankenstein, omg and then some CRUEL ANIME ABOUT BEATING DOGS. SERIOUSLY. LIKE 80% OF IT WAS BEATING DOGS. AUGH. >________<;;; I CAN'T UNSEE... there was also an anime apparently made about Korean kids and Commies and WTF ALIENS??? It went from LIVE ACTION to horrible HORRIBLE animated sequences then back to live action. OH. MY. GOD. WHO THE HELL PAID THESE GUYS.. JEEZ.. XDDDDD
I SAW THIS SIGN AT THE MANGA LIBRARY. FOR THE LOLS.
Oh yeah, Patrick D was cosplaying as Captain Hammer on Saturday, and someone else was Dr. Horrible and they even had a Penny. UNFORTUNATELY I MISSED THEIR SKIT at the cosplay skit panel thing, ugh, I didn't even know there was one... oh well. But it's up on YouTube, so I got to see it. ^^
We ate at the food court in the mall... lotsa people came up to us all confused about why we were dressed up - but we go to a lot of cons, so we're used to it by now. Some old guy was all INTERESTING and I was all GO AWAY, YOU PEDOPHILE. And then two other people came up and was all OMG COSPLAY OMG CON THERE'S A CON WHERE IS IT WHEN IS IT HUHHH lol so I told them about PAC. Though this was cute though: two little kids came up to me and was all "uwaaah kitty!!!" for a good 2, 3 minutes. Haha.... Sooo that's about it. ^_^
Thank you raine_sage81 for accompanying meeeeee!! I hope you had just as much fun as I did! It was a great birthday present, too! XD Overall what do I think of PAC now that it's over? It was very entertaining, not as big as AB of course since it was its first year and I think I'll go back again a second year (though it's tough with school in the way D8). Well, I hope they continue PAC... ^_^ Since it's a 21+ con - THE FIRST EVER - it was more of a "mature, subdued atmosphere" without all the screamy teenager fans around lol (though I do have to say I enjoy it!). There was alcohol being served at the welcome reception, though I didn't drink any (ICK!). T_T;; Oh and there was a LOT and I mean a LOTTTTTTTT of raunchy/awkward comments like "DOES THE TOP COME OFF??" "SHOW ME YOUR BOOBS," etc., general pervertedness (which I fit right into sometimes, ahem). Jeez.... just because it's an adult atmosphere doesn't mean you can be rude to our guests, gahhh. >_>
Though ugh I hate alcohol+people... I got a lot of weird people at PAC coming up to me. One guy - the one in the butterfly cosplay (his name was Sketch, apparently he's popular from AB) from Venture Brothers, he hit on me. D8 Was all, "You're hot. I don't care who you're cosplaying, you're hot." AGHHRGHRGHG. GOO AWAY, SKETCH. D8<<< I'm off the market! And earlier a girl came up to me to grope my kitty ears. She was all "I wanted to touch them! I saw you in two panels and I was all AAAH!!" Whoa! Back off! T__T;;; I thought I'd escape the odd teenager screamy fangirl hugging groping thing at a con but.. I guess not. Adults can be kids too, ya know so I think the age cap is just ridiculous! XD
I wanted to get a PAC shirt on Sunday but they all sold out. Booo!
I ran into chibirinoa and her friend on Saturday... ^_^ her goth/lolita stuff is always so cute, hehe. I also recognized an old acquaintance from high school- Shaun- he was there too... I didn't say hi to him because well, we weren't very close to begin with and I don't think he'd remember me anyway, lawl. @_@;;
I guess that's all. ^_^
