New Zealand has more than ONE anime/manga convention. *nerd's*
I only knew this last year too! Maybe it formed last year? I DUNNO, but I went --"Doujin Overload"--
and it had to be the heaviest storm in 10 years on that very day. (you can spot the rain-marks on this LMAOXD)
HAHA what a day to go out and get lost,
lonehana and I ran around everywhere trying to find the venue and fellas, we had the time of our LIVES (I did anyway)-- I felt that all the pedestrians united under this gale, we were laughing and running into each other at the crossings coz the wind was that strong and were blinded by our umbrellas.
lonehana got eaten by hers but I didn't notice coz I was having too much fun and she told me off for being so fluffy about uniting pedestrians. WHAT A SOUR PUSS. lol (and then she tricked me into following her all the way to her college just so she could sit on a clean toilet seat. Hygiene freak. =u=)
OKAI, now for some photos~ I think I did something to my camera coz it kept taking really crappy photos D:
The venue~ tiny tiny coz we lack in numbers XD;
but it was WAY better than last year. Last year just sucked. No I'm not being modest.
and I was too shy to ask complete strangers to stay still for me to take my photos so I just went around stalker style. HAH, next time I'll be super bold and just ask. C:<
The hostess was SO cute! >//u//< And spirited! She was shouting through the mic althroughout the event. XDD she posed for us 'photographers', I missed the one where she was posing as a pole dancer. D: awww (LOL she somehow kept reminding me of Kimi. AHAHA DON'T HIT ME KIMI YOU'RE CUTE! XDD; )
Misaaaa :D
Elfin Lied? D: I never watched but there ya go. : ) HAHA I don't think the dude's supposed to wear that pink wig but he said he was just forced. PFFFT whatever. XD
OMGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!
Can you tell can you tell?? Even with my shitty camera you can tell that this is
FDGDFKG *u*!! The "NO SMOKING" sign makes me happy with its existance! XDDD
Here's some more photos of it from a fellow
NZ deviantartist since we got there pretty late (WHERE IS THE FREAKING VENUEEE OMG the sky just spat in my eye!! DXCLICK HERE FOR MORE COSPLAY/ARTIST PHOTOS~
REPORT? lonehana was being lame and wanted to leave plus we didn't have enough cash on us to splurge on beautiful prints ( ;n; ) and I was hungry so we went on a date ;D and had something:
O.M.G. It doesn't look like much, but this was the cheesiest cheesecake I've EVER cheesed. I LOVED IT. <333
Apple cider? Never tried that before so I gave it a try. It was like hot apple juice. 8D I liked it.
THEN we proceeded to be lamer and I dragged Lisa (
lonehana) and myself back to the convention for one last lookie-see and I'm glad we did!

AHAHA dance routine performed by supposedly "The Bleach Musicals". But there were few randoms in there and that made it a bit more fun. x3
Advantage of being tall, I was able to take a vid of that routine. Disadvantage of being tall, I scared off a few cute little people. =n= They were like;
Girl1: "NOOO I can't seeee"
Girl2: "Oh it's ok, let's just watch from that lady's camera"
Me: Eh? *curious so turns around and spots them way down there*
Girl1&2: D: *scurries off*
Me: TTATT!!
OTL;; I'm not scary, nooo come backkk LMAO;;; ugh.
Haha we should have hung around for the freebies. But the weather was still being terrible and it was getting dark.
Overall, it was an awesome day and all the amazing artists there motivated and inspired me to try harder and maybe try getting a table next year. :'D If I'm good enough by then. XD;
End. <3

P.S. OH, when I got back home, there was a power cut from the horrible gale. ROFL even the traffic lights were down and the cars were going crazy. XDDD We had dinner by candle light and I took some photos and videos/documentary on how to make a jam&cheese sandwich in the dark. Haha I'd upload it but it's too dorky >X//D~
