Nekocon 12 day 1
So first day of Nekocon has come and gone. I'm going ahead and post before I forget everything.
So got up at 9am and went to base to see if two of my co-workers were able to go, one couldn't. So then I left to go pick up Megan. On the way there Kennedy called and said he was waiting at my apartment. (Matt couldn't go so Kennedy was using his badge.)
When me and Megan got there, we all got in my truck and went to Burger King for brunch. Then went back to my apartment to change. Kennedy didn't want to cosplay so me and Megan were Ibu Shinji and Tezuka Kunimitsu from Prince of Tennis.
So you know you're at a convention when every other liscense plate has some reference to anime, games or sci-fi

When we got there we mostly walked around, did see Shishido-san, but he was Sanada from Rikkai today. I didn't think about it till later, but we should've got a picture together. -_- my fail...
So more walking around filming people, then we decided to go to one of the video rooms. They were playing something that was so clearly a paraody of Power Rangers. It was so hilarious, they had colors like salmon pink and moss green. And their attacks were so ridiculous...business card throw, nail filer... Then we found out it was called Shinesman, so going to get it.
We then watched one epsiode of Gokusen then went to the Dealers room. Not much I wanted there. NO POSTERS!!! So I'm defintely saving a ton of money this year. I did find the Atobe figure I said I was going to get long time ago. Couldn't find Tezuka though ;__; but at least I got Atobe. Also bought a Yugioh doujinshi, Kaiba and Yami. Actually YamixKaiba...Kaiba was so uke it was sad. Bad choice on my part, I like when they are equals more.
Something I've noticed while walking around...a lot of cops. I don't recall anything serious happening last year, but this year we have a ton of cops, and we don't have to get our props peacebonded anymore....weird. At first I thought they were cosplayers...heh heh
So around 5 Kennedy had to go, so me and Megan went backt to my apartment and changed, she did Rukia(bleach) and I did Kikumaru(PoT), had a lot of request for pics. Met up with Sam later, still don't know what he was. Hung out some more, then we split up. Sam went to some panel(can't remember), Megan went to a video room, and I went to a bad Japanese music videos panel.
The videos where so crazy, especially the ones by DJ OZMA(on youtube)his were just so strange. But it was great especially the orginal video to the opening of Ouran Host Club, that one was adorable.
So after those we went and ate some Chinese food, we saw Team Rocket there. People kept coming up to and asking which Animes we were from, which was cool. Then went back to my apartment and Megan changed to regular clothes. Went back to the con and I guess they went to the rave, but I went to the game room and DDR'd it up. Around 12 me and Megan left for home. Still so tired. Excited about tomorrow though.
Some cosplays that stuck out to me.
Guy dressed as Michael Jackson dancing to the music from his boombox...awesome
Thriller Michael Jackson
Marvin the Martian
Rufio from the movie "Hook"
Kakashi dressed in a white shirt and tie(school teacher?) anyways it was hot...made Megan go tell him that too...embarassing
Female Mario and Male Luigi. They looked so hot together, is that wrong.
A little girl(about 5) as Nell and Bankai Ichigo(her father?) adorable
bout all I can remember now
till tomorrow
