we're finally notdotq anymore

This was my bed Thursday night and Friday night

I woke up and went down to catch AMV Hells 3 and 3 mkII. Rika stabbing herself to What is Love made me laugh uncontrollably for minutes after the clip was over. Yeah, I’m a sick, sick man. After the AMVs, I watched the first Rebuild of Eva movie, which I deem a complete waste of my time. Yeah, it was cool. Yeah, it was slick. But it brought nothing new to the table, and that made it far from interesting.

At some point I went outside to get a shot of the convention center.

After Evangelion, I went over to the Dealer’s Hall, where I bought some prizes for our game-panel (which I’ll get to in a bit) and a mini Aria figurine. I wasn’t yet ready to spend big money, so I didn’t get anything extravagant. I asked at one stand if they had any larger Aria figurines; all they had was a model of the Aria Company. Suteki as it was, I wasn’t about to spend my hard-earned lioncash on a model building.

Somewhere around this time (between 1 and 4) I picked up five or so more allies. That was tight.

After the Dealer’s Hall, I failed to go to an interesting panel (read: I managed to go to a fail panel), so I left and sat on the floor of the main hall for about half an hour, allowing the traffic to revel in my sign:

<3 me i’m lolicon

I got some awesome reactions, and it was good. I met up with more members of our party, and that was awesome. After that, I grabbed some burgers a block away and then returned to get a picture of the coolest Maka cosplayer EVAR…

you can resonate my soul anytime, if you know what I mean ;)

And actually, that’s just about all the pics I took on Friday. I took one more (of a fraction of my party) but I won’t be displaying it here for whatever reason. Friday itself—you know, the non-photo aspect—was far from over. Between eight and nine we collected more supporters, and at nine we ran our panel—Create That Anime!, based off of Mr. Savage’s AOD game. We spent the first twenty minutes or so spewing random (and apparently hilarious) nonsense at our audience, which was maybe fifty times as large as we’d expected. Then we ran the game for a bit. The game, for those not in the know, involves lists of tropes and improv summary.

After that, we loitered around for a while. A couple dudes and I went to watch AMVs but they had this one that was like an hour long and completely unbearable and eventually we got bored and turned in around eleven. Yeah, it’s a weak time to sleep, but we had big plans for Saturday night.

And that, people, was my awesome Friday.

(Yes, it’s Sunday as I conclude this post. Also, I’m sleep deprived and high on School Days and completely fucked in the head. I also just discovered that Jason Miao is at this convention, and am thusly sort of freaking out. ANYWAY, I apologize for any incoherence, and I laugh at those of you who wanted more pictures.)
