So I went to NYAF, right? It was a pretty fun time. Let's have as close to a day by day run down that I can remember.
Friday was a lot of driving to get out there. There's not much to talk about that aspect, but when we finally got to Jessalyn's place everything started getting into motion. We had to go to the train but got there late since Jessalyn thought it a good idea to go shopping before we got there. So we waited around for the bus, only Adam and I ventured off to get some food. Then we rode a train that took forever. Then was the convention! We kinda all just did our own thing. The biggest thing that happened today with regards to me was that I noticed that there was this cute gal going around. I told Adam and Carolyn about her and Adam spent around the next thirty minutes trying to encourage me to talk to her. When I finally did speak to her, I kinda lost it and just high-tailed it away. Sucks to be me, I guess.
Only other major thing on that day was this cosplay variety show that Jessalyn was a part of. She did a skit as Ranka and Miku and she got Kanye West'd after her Miku skit. Then we got on a really late train and didn't get back until around 2 in the morning.
Now it is time for Saturday! This day was really filled and it was a complete chore to walk around the dealer's room. Anyway, I pretty much started off the convention somehow noticed that the gal from the day before was around the stairs we were going down. I didn't really feel like doing anything at all with that so I just continued on with the convention as usual. This day was mainly walking around and taking some pictures. The biggest thing this day was the Persona cosplay group meeting. Well, what happened before it, really. Anyway, we all gathered in the front of the con and we were all talking when I looked outside and saw someone standing there smoking. I keep staring and then I realize that it is Tomino! I go a little bit crazy and eventually he walks in the building and I'm dragged by Jessalyn to go get a picture with him but he walked off fast. Sucks that I messed up something on this day as well.
The Persona shoot was pretty cool and I got some interesting shots. The next big thing was the masquerade which wasn't all that cool, but was interesting. Oh yeah, gal from Friday was sitting in the row behind us but like I was going to do anything.
Sunday! We walked Jessalyn's friend Steph to the bus terminal so she could go on home and then we go to the con. It was a chill day mainly filled with me walking around in circles getting shots of the best cosplay I could find since all of this time I was using Jessalyn's camera since I forgot my battery. At the beginning Jessalyn did a karaoke skit, but it went wrong since her PSP wasn't working right so she sang her song without the backing music. She did extremely well despite her being scared on the stage. I played a game of Blazblue but got utterly defeated. I lost the other three for a while until I suddenly find them out of the blue. We then just sat around and relax until the con was over. Somewhere along the way Carolyn got herself a model kit of Lancelot from Code Geass. Adam and I pooled some money together to get these two figurines that need some work done to them for $10. The best part of Sunday was hanging out with Jessalyn's family before we went on our way. Her little brothers are silly as all and they pretty much believe that my name is Ringo Starr.
And here I am after a boring Monday where I went to a budget request meeting for Anime Club.
