I'm Baaaaaaaack!!!!! Wow did I have an interesting time at the convention! I think it was way better than last year, but I think they need more space because it was really crowded on Saturday! They announced at closing ceremony's that there were over 10,000 people who attended/worked the con for the whole three days O.O it may sound small to others but to those of use who have been there it's hard to believe that many people fit!
Okay so let's see...Friday, we got to the hotel at like 1:30 but check in time wasn't until 3:00 so our room wasn't ready, but of course being us we said fine be that way! and went to the convention^^ we could stay as late as we wanted since we already paid for our room they had to give us one when we showed up again^___^ so of course we didn't come back until like 11:00 but that's okay we had a good time while we were gone. Once we registered we went to the dealers room and went shopping!!!!! and how weird is this, one of the guys running a booth looked remarkably like a man we stalke...I mean saw, yeah that's it^^ in the the airport in japan. so stupid me that I am I asked if I could take his picture. He actually said yes and even posed all cute and yeah, so we continued our shopping and I bought a duel jewel shirt
(only mine is better because the image is actually on the shirt no just pasted over it^^), a black silk tie with kyo's name embroydered (sp?) in red:
and the newest issue of Cure:
and I'm pretty sure that's all I bought. After shopping we stood in line to get tickets for the pillows concert. Wandered around took lots a pictures (if anyone want's I'll post 'em when I get 'em developed) Went to wait in line for the concert at like 6:30 only to find that another band was playing before them. It's a local band called SWEK and I guess they play every year. Anyways I didn't want to see them and since in the program/intenerary thingie it said they were airing out the room between concerts I thought I'd just come back, but I went to ask someone in charge just to make sure and they told me they weren't and of course I wanted a good spot so I stayed in line and went to the concert. I could have cried they were so bad! normally I don't complain when I get to see concerts and whatnot for free, but dammit all! They were so bad they should have paid us for having to sit through that crap!!! They played all anime songs which would have been fine, but they were so bad I couldn't even tell what songs they were playing! and the ones I could figure out were all american kiddie cartoons (teen titans, transformers) and even those were horrible! I mean sure those songs are fine but if I'm going to a con I don't wanna hear music like that! Now that I'm done ranting...The Pillows concert was amazing!!!!! (it would have been better if the idiot in front of me had moved though, he didn't even bob his head or anything, let alone jump around! He only went because the Pillows did 2 songs for the anime FLCL, people like that make me sick!) it was standing only and I was on the far left of the stage right against the rope!*sigh* it was so much fun^^ After the concert we wandered around for a bit more and at around 11:00 we went to our hotel, only to find...they only had smoking rooms left, the bastards! But since I'm the bitch that I am and I know my sister would seriously die (or sleep in the hall) if we had to spend 3 nights in a smoking room they gave us a better non-smoking room which was huge! It had a bathroom, a closet that's as big as my walk in one at home, a sink area (with coffee maker) a glass dining/meeting table that could fit 6 people comfortabley, and a fold out couch right in front of the tv (there was no real bed) which was extra super compfy^^ all for the same price as the other room^___^
Saturday I have no idea what order I did things in all I know is that I waited in line for autographs and pictures with the pillows. They signed the Cd that I bought,
Which I then lost later that night Y_Y (now my sister says that if I give her $7 she'll share her cd with me^^)
Then we found out that Seek from Psycho le cemu was in the dealers room at one of the booths signing:
the (PLC) cd's that people bought (I bought 2!!!) and he was all normalish looking, and damn sexy!!! he looked kinda like this:
only in normal clothes with a different hat^^ I also bought a yellow O_o PLC tour t-shirt from their us tour

I love the little plane it's so cute^^ then went and took more pictures and met up with some friends and had pizza then went to the masquerade. none of the outfits were that great but it was fun because while the judges were making their decisions Kumiko
performed like 4 of her songs and then they played a bunch of 70's songs and everyone was dancing and there was even a conga line going ^___^ after that we went to the hotel. Se had to walk like 2 miles Y_Y but a curious taxi driver gave us a free ride back to our hotel so it wasn't sooo bad^^ it's hard to believe how little people know about this con!
I'll post about sunday tomorrow my sis is yelling at me to go to bed now^^
Oyasumi Nasai minna-san!!!
Other than that not much happening. I'm broke, it's raining and I found out that my uncle is having a get together at his place so now I have to find someone to cover for for my night shift, and at least the last half of my morning shift if I wanna go *sigh* I don't think I can do it Y_Y
I'm slowly finishing my mom's chair cushions that she wanted me to make months ago! it only takes like an hour but I've been busy working on my skirt (still not done) and they're so boring to make! Oh well I told her I'd have 'em done by the time I went to cali so that gives me like a week and a half^^
