+D'espairs Ray+ at Megacon!

I’m finally untired enough to write an entry about my weekend! :D

Mostly about Despairs Ray though! xD They were ammmmazing! <3


Firstly, on Saturday, I cosplayed as Tifa Lockheart from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. None of the pictures are very good since they don’t show off the whole outfit, so maybe I’ll camwhore it a little better later on. :D


I cut my hair a little bit and I really like it :D I’m probably going to whack a bit more off to define it a little more. (I also like how Darth Vader is lurking creeply in the background! :X)
Anyway… here’s my brother and his friend that he brought along:


My brothers outfit was so awesome (And very intimidating)! Everyone was asking to take pictures of him beating them up- hilarious!


Cute Katamari Prince!


My friends Tivis and Clayton who it took forever to come across! x___x
So, after all that, I got to wait in line some more (The first time was when I was buying a ticket to get in… took about an hour x__x) since this year you could also take pictures with the band and I was like hell yeah run-on sentence wooo! I think I waited in line for an hour and a half, but the people I was next were fun so it was alright.



So there it is, the result of my line-waiting efforts! The poor things look sooooo borrrred!! ^^; Especially Zero (Top right)! He looks like he’s about to nod off.
So after that I think I made some more spontaneous purchases. In total I got an issue of Shoxx magazine, a hide poster, D’espairs Ray poster and a D’espairs Ray bracelet. But I also bought premium admission to the concert and the picture so I was plum broke by the end of it anyway. xD
I didn’t go to the “rave” because I had no one to go with and my feet were killing me and I never have fun at those anyway! Hmmph!

Sunday I got up kind of late and dressed as a casual gothic lolita Heartless (I don’t think anyone got what I was going for, though! xD).
I met up with Jello and Eden while buying my Sunday ticket to get in (since I was dumb and didn’t buy one Saturday!). Then we found a Wonka cosplayer, yays!


He even talked like him which was awesome xD
After that we heard the band practicing down a guarded corridor and the people guarding it wouldn’t give us straight answers, like we were going to barge in and be all rabid if they told us it was them. :P Then the lady who was there told us there was no more premium admission tickets left which freaked me out because I wanted to buy one! But either she was lying or they just kept selling them to make a buck because I got one from the booth, no problem. Wow…. I’m writing a lot of run-on sentences tonight… must… stop…
Anyway, I got my ticket and we hurried and got in line since they let the preemies (heh) in first. Then I got to wait some more! In a crowded room! With the heat on because it was “cold” outside! For…well.. a reaaally long freaking time!
And then an opening band called SoundDevice came on the stage, as I feared. And you know with a name like that what they must have sounded like. :/ I kind of felt bad for them since no one was there to see them! I’m actually glad I wasn’t in the front row at this point because I would have felt like I needed to seem a little interested. x_x
Well, their set went on forrreevvverrr….
And after that we waited some more. Some people started getting antsy and screaming when roadies came on the stage and set up guitars and whatnot which was nerve wracking because even thought I was in the special section- I was basically in the back and I couldn’t see a thing because the floor was flat and.. uh.. stupid. Bah!
But then they came out in their new white gauzey outfits that really really suit them!! I don’t really remember a tracklisting…. But I think they played Marry of the Blood twice? All the same since I love that song xD
Here’s two pictures my dad snapped from the back of the room:




Oh, it was so amazing, I can’t even begin to describe it!!!
Jello, Eden and I slowly made our way to the front the whole show until I was about 4 “rows” of people from Hizumi!! Geeze, was he gorgeous! Jello even got to touch his hand when he leaned out, but I was just too far away. :(
And during their encore Zero spit water on the audience and I got soaked! xD It was incredible (Even more so because of the fact I was unbelievably dehydrated and sweaty at this point.)
But then it was over and I was both psyched and sad (Happy because I knew water and fresh air was so close… but sad because no more jrock! ^^; Such a paradox!).
We hung around a bit more after the show, recuperating, mostly. But it was pretty late in the day by this point and the con was almost closed so we all said good bye and went home. ^^
I was so giddy the rest of the day, though….. actually I still am! xD Wee Zero spit!
So… yep.. that’s my con report! I realized, as all of my loot is jrock related, that I’m not as much of an otaku as I used to be! Oh what shall I dooooooooo!? :P ::shrug::
