Friday night:
After work, andrew picks me up, we get out things from the apartment and make a mad dash to the max station (the hotel is right off the max lines so it would of been stupid to take the car and more costly). After waiting a good twenty minutes, we finally get off and start walking with all of our crap to the hotel. we know we are going in the right direction cause of all of the costumes! upon getting there we find the pre-registration line get our official stuff saying we have come in and junk. then go look for Tasha, Nathan and Squirrel (aka Devin Arnold) and Ally.
We find them, play for a bit in the gaming area, then go to the executive tower (kitty-corner to the actual main hotel) and drop off our stuff. then we go and watch District 9. really good movie by the way!
we return to the hotel and sit and walk and play card games and are weirdos until like almost four in the morning!!!! then we sleep for like four hours.
Saturday!
We are awake and for some odd reason ready to run around and go! Tasha and i go in to the Creation Station, where she outshines me in art of course. and i just can't get anything on paper
later on we frolic around, and decide we will wait in line for the exhibitors hall (where they sell Ramune, if you don't know what it is, look it up). After waiting for a long time, mind you, everyone else is asleep in the room, cause they are sleepy heads. and i realize i have no reception in the hotel, especially in the basement area
FINALLY the doors open, and Tasha and I make a made dash for the Ramune! she buys two WHOLE cases (which is 30 bottles, in one box >.>
then we ran around after we rested and got food (PIZZA) where Mar Mar joined us for a bit, then we took a badge from one of the girls who was staying with us cause she didn't get any sleep, and she was gonna take a nap.
So we run around some more, and frolic, (there is a lot of that) we go to a couple of things, see a lot of people, take pictures! buy things!After all of that, our crazy friends are like, hey! lets get more pizza....agaiN!
so we do...and also walk around a bit, then return to the Con where we get ready for the dance/rave!
We have to wait in line forever cause of technical difficulties...but it was worth it! we dance A LOT, and i even danced with a random shirtless guy. he he!
after dancing until after two in the morning, we go back to the hotel, and try and sleep.....we finally do so at around.....4-5.....
Sunday:
Wake up, Andrew and I go for breakfast. then he doesn't feel well, so we go back and he goes to sleep. and i frolic around by myself for a bit!
and buy a fox tail and more pocky and ramune! then returning to the hotel, Andrew wanted to sleep more, and Tasha and i took to more panels, and we frolicked around. i made a FREE HUG sign ( I WANTED HUGS DARN IT). but after an hour, the staff made me take it down >.> (i'll explain it later) so i made a shirt that said HUG ME on it
so, then we frolick around more, AND JOIN A GLOMP CIRCLE!!! its like spin the bottle but with glomps, and in the middle of pioneer square! finally though it was drawing late, and Andrew, Mar Mar and I left.
For the Hotel reasons, we didn't like the Hilton, it was small and crowded and the staff was actually sort of mean to us and not very understanding. cause COME ON PEOPLE we are anime freaks in no was mean, just a bit loud and hyper!
and we were sad to hear that they had signed a contract to come back next year. and as for my sign, it was "offending" the staff/guests of the hotel...how do hugs offend? i have no idea!!!!! but then we heard rumor that they terminated the contract for next year and are shooting for the convention center...SO WE WILL SEE!!!!! good times.
so i am sore and tired still! but i will get better, after eating better and probably drinking things besides ramune and caffiene !!
So enjoy, and there are pictures up. i wanted to take more, but for most of saturday i didn't have my camera >( thats okay though, i have some. and i didn't get that many of me
but meh. have fun!
