Okay report time~
Got up super early at 7:30 and started to get ready. Got into a fight with mom over coming home. She wanted me home at 6 and I was like “Buh?” I got her to at least say 10:30 but that meant I had to leave at 8:30. Oh well… this was 20 minutes before my train left but we got there somehow. So Thelesa, David and I went on our way to PennStation. We then wandered around for 20 minutes until our track was announced (did you know there’s a Staples and K-mart in there? We had a blast). We then rode the 5 minute ride to Secaucus Junction and arrived in all it’s freezing glory. I suddenly felt sick and needed bathroom time while they called a cab. When my stomach was calm and we found out how to get out we did and took what we thought was the cab we called… but it was unmarked and no counter and Thelesa just said “It’s our cab.” Which I later found out it wasn’t. X_X I was afraid something was going to happen -hates cabs-
Got there before 11 and it was… empty. I was like “Wow how early are we?” Apparently it was like this Friday too. We immediately met up with
staci_chan (Staci) and was introduced to
doorknocker_dog (Natasha), got our badges and took to wandering. Found
nerdraeg (Maddie) quite tired and exhausted in an Al t-shirt… XD; I later found it, it was cute! I changed into Ryoma with Staci's help (...yes, Tezuka helped Ryoma change ;>_>) In the dealers room Staci and I found CinePuri stickers and a phone thingy~ So cool so cool! I don’t know what to do with the stickers though… Didn’t buy much and then went to Artist Alley and got pictures and some commissions done by two really nice people. David went and played that BLEACH game and after some goings around I played too. XD Sorry Byakuya, I ruined your character.
When we were done with that we met up with
shmeebs (Jenni), her Mellow, and someone else to go get some food. We ended up meeting with
uchihanick Nick and a Rob and Nintendo-boy (XD; wow I got a great remembrance for names…) At the deli we ordered food… but this bitchy mom and her 4 girls made sure to get top priority and so those who wanted breakfast missed it. They guy was pretty rude though… got mah frenh fries and headed out to where everyone else was sitting and we ate and talked. Jenni told us about her trip to Japan and the *pnish* show and after molesting my Gin t-shirt let me shake her hand for Tuti, Moriyama, Daiki and Wasshio XD;
We headed back and talked about the prince of tennis where the infamous line “I wish Ryoma would get hit by a car.” Was spoken and we were all horrified. After that we… Actually I’m not sure what we did. I think it involved searching for the Kaidoh cosplayer and where to cancel my panel. Well we did both but instead Staci took over my panel for me -hugs for Staci- I don’t know when but at some point we met Maddie again in her all glorious Ed costume. I couldn’t stop looking at her eyes @_@ so pretty. And short jokes were had. u_u she has my sympathies. (I was ALSO a short character)
There really isn’t much to say as Natasha, Staci, David and I just walked around, sat in different spots and played some random games to keep us busy. We met random people and talked and stuff. During our sitting we met
blackmarth (Tina) in her crazy spoiler Ichigo costume which gives me nightmares (Every time I see her, her costumes are more and more nightmare prone) But of course, non the less, amazing *_*. Cosplay chess was… interesting. I liked it a lot but the attacks where too drawn out and some of us couldn’t hear the lines. X3 I did enjoy what I could hear though! And… poor chess board. But my favorite cosplayer? COSMO! ZOMG! I first saw the cosplayer as pointed out by Staci in artist alley and got her picture, I didn’t know she was in chess! XD; I was so happy ….SHE EVEN HAD A NICKLE! PHILIP! Some character really had a good roleplaying going on. Like Gai-Sensei, the One Piece people (Oh god, Sanji killed me) and Ed, Cosmo and others… some… eh, I just felt they could’ve been better and not taken so long to kill. XDDD;; Ichigo as a special attack, that was awesome.
After we decided what to order (somewhere around here we found Thelesa again…yeeeeeah. She kinda disappeared on us) and after some figuring out of prices got ourselves a pizza pie and free French fries and ate. At this time it was… Thelesa, Natasha, Staci, David, me and Kaidoh cosplayer. WE PLAYED SEIGAKU GAME. YEY. Spazzed about the musicals did some “OH TUTI” things and listened in on the duck duck goose game. After we ate, (we had some food left and gave it to a Goku) we went to the main events room and sat outside with
springstar (Brittney) and Carly. Talked about different conventions and costumes and other things. They were so cool and when I found out they were the Miwako and Yukari I was so surprised! (Because those costumes were amazing) Tina as Marlexia and her friend,
yeu (Yeu) as someone from Trinity Blood met up with us and we started our own line. Uwah! Sorry Yeu we didn’t come Friday or Sunday as prince of tennis characters! XD; Was so happy, though, to find someone else who enjoyed the musicals and series. Our line was told to move so we did… and I had to go home.
So Thelesa, David and I took a random cab home (Wow I feel bad for the actual cab we called both times) marked
Abe‘s cab… -prince of tennis moment- to the station and came home to recover.
X3 All in all.. It was a good con but hopefully next year (hopefully even more there will be a next year!) there will be a bit more to do.
