For the fans, by a fan! Go ahead take and abuse these pictures, I don't really care where it goes. Though it would suck if you take credit for them, so try not to do it lol. Here's the zip file of all the pictures I took of the band:
MUCC in Baltimore (123MB)
WARNING: It's a HUGE file size because these pictures are unadulterated, raw, untouched, meaning they're in their native resolution(3,456 x 2,304) and they go upwards of 3.6MB. There are a lot of pics that are blurry/over exposed or under, but I just threw them all in anyway. I'll leave you guys to nitpick. Enjoy.

Resized the better ones of them and added a few more.

The ride back home(sweet sweet NY) was roughly five hours, so a few pictures and some side commentary are all you're going to get. These aren't all the pictures, but I'm working on getting the best ones edited and uploaded. If you want the full-size pic without the watermark, I'll have it ready soon enough in a zip file. MM yeah I'll let you enjoy now...
The panel, which pretty much did suck.
Close up. Let me tell you, I think that lady has a job I would love to have. I got to be right in front second concert, and there she was passing by with like four Canon cameras hanging off her neck. I would love to have been in her spot.
Nothing like *literally* finding yourself moving along a line, only to end up in the dealer's room and find MUCC right in front of you.
Next day came the autographs...my two friends and I were first in line(woohoo.).
The watermark you see on the pictures is the design I put on two shirts, one for my friend, the other for me. We both chose those shirts to get signed. This is her white on black one getting signed by Tatsurou.
Tatsurou signing my shirt.
Here are some extras. lectrae was kind enough to let me scribble on her, and this is what I came up with:
The writing says Oto to tomo ni ikiru, which translates(literally) to life with sound, which would mean something along the lines of life with music. My friend Myra(who's Japanese) luckily was there to direct me in that part; she wrote the kanji too.
This is like retouched version 1.2
I wanted to do something with her face too and this is what I came up with.
Overall, the MUCC experience was awesome. I could have done without the whole anime thing because it was a bitch waiting on line for hours; first for pre-registration, then rushing to get the tickets. I don't really have the heart anymore to stomach anime, so Otakon itself wasn't so hot. This is the first time I got to explore Baltimore, the Inner Harbor was beautiful, especially on Saturday night when the weather was just amazing. Not too hot, bare humidity, and a cool breeze. If only I had my camera then... anyway I'm done with the random thoughts. I'll try to get more pictures up soon, but after I get a good rest.
