Alright heroes!! Event-Report time naow!!
So yesterday I attended the NorCal Hetalia Day Meetup.
We arrived at the meeting place around 10:16 or so and not so many people arrived... I was afraid it was going to be a weak meetup. However, I was greeted by a very nice Lithuania right off, as I was cosplaying Estonia. X3
After chatting a little with Lithuania and the others, more people showed up and the day became crazy! We really didn't have anything planned but we ran around the square enjoying ourselves and I think amusing a good deal of tourists. So many pictures from random people. ^__^ It was rather cute.
Instead of going into too much detail because I can't remember everything we did... I'll just go over some of the main points in my overall summary which I'm apparently doing first lol.
Lithuania and I tried to find Lavatia... We could not. We tried to adopt Sealand, but he ran away... We're not that scary are we?
Then we played relay with Russia's pipe... Not the smartest thing to do really now that I think about it.
After goofing of a little my Nii-san decided to well... Take over Russia!! YOSH! Right!? Of course Lithuania and Estonia could do that... Right? Right? So I, being the BEST brother could be... Meandered right on up to Russia and jabbed him in the arm and demanded that HE become ONE WITH THE BALTICS! Actually... I lied.
Lithuania hid behind me, shoving me toward Russia, whispering to me to poke him. Of course I argued, saying that the OLDER brother should be the one to do this... Needless to say I ended up poking him and became a studdering mess. Need I tell you that Russia is a very tall and intimitating man? Before I could even get out for him to become ONE with the Baltics... He cried out BECOME ONE WITH RUSSIAAA!!?? In his cute... scary childish tone... Lithuania and I fleed squealing like girls.
After this, Lithuania and I became the prize for the fight between Old Man Turkey and Russia. Neither won nor lost... I became property apparently of Turkey as did another Lithuania... The other Lithuania that I hung around with mostly ended up being pulled away by Russia along with China. So Liet was apparently split.
FINALLY after quite a time we went out to eat. We walked around the Japanese mall trying to find food... People didn't want us apparently. We ended up splitting our group of 42 into 24 apparently and ATE foodz with "Team America"... Or in my opinion it was "Team Russia!" since I think Russia chose our place to eat. XD But we ended up going to Iroha. I got to sit with one of the Chinas that we met ironically on the bus but wasn't aware that the China was cosplaying... China. XD Also sat with Sailor Italy and my boyfriend. I ate pork ramen... It was yummy.
Mel (Turkey in Turbin) called, met us at Iroha but went off to wander with Celina (Canada) and Julie (America). We returned to the Peace Tower after telling Mel we were going to the Purikura booths... Butttt we didn't do that anyway. However before we did this, we ended up being stopped by a Japanese cosplayer who wasn't aware of the Hetalia meeting and we were filmed for her cosplay blog on youtube... If anyone sees us link me? I'm curious. X3
Anyway met up with Mel, brought Mel back to the others and continued our day. Ended up almost leaving three times wanting to go home but we kept getting side tracked. The first time we almost left was because when we got back from getting milk tea everyone vanished... But we then found them at the Purikura! And we took photos there. Then we nearly left AGAIN! But ended up getting stopped by my Austria friend that I met at Kinyoobi. So we hung around for a while, we were going to leave again but China (Gloria) apparently had some issues with her ride. So we told her we'd take her to the BART. Good thing we hung around.
For the rest of the time we hung out with everyone else and acted silly and enjoyed the evening. We said goodbye to our wonderful Countries and went to take Gloria and her friend to the BART, but stopped by Payless and Spirit for cosplay supplies. Then we said goodbye to Gloria and wished her and her friend well... And took our BART ride home... Got food and a deepfryer and went to bed. ^_^
Pros: Far too many to list, it was an overall WONDERFUL EVENT! I hope to do it soon.
Cons: None~!
Stars: ***** Just an absolute wonderful time! Thank you all!

Con Report: Anime Destiny 09
Hello again! I recently went to Anime Destiny this past Saturday. I would have posted the day after however I attended Fleet Week in SanFrancisco- which was a lot of fun! Even though it's not cosplay I'll post the link for the album below. However I'm not here to rate that event, but instead Anime Destiny, as my blog centers around Cosplay and Japanese Events for the most part. So let's get down to business, shall we?
Pros:
-Beautiful venue, absolutely loved the campus.
-Nice and spacious venue.
-Wonderful staff.
-Very funny and witty panels.
-Nice attendees.
-Had two wonderful photoshoots, one with Eurobeat King and the other with Conpix.net.
-Ate at a very yummy pizza place that was somewhere near the BART.
-Actual recognition for the costumes that Jon and I wore... Compared to the much larger SacAnime con.
Cons:
-Got lost trying to look for food.
-Map of campus and points of intrest/areas where to eat... VERY confusing.
-Somewhat of a "weak" con, but understandable considering it's the first year back.
-NOT many cosplayers and those that were cosplaying usually kept to their own group.
-Ended up missing taking photos of Diana in her costume... Was bummed about that.
-Pretty chilly, but that's my issue for wearing shorts, not the convention's.
-Panel room needed to be bigger.
Overall: Well despite the rather smallness of the convention, which I was expecting- I had a pretty good time. The campus was beautiful and I really enjoyed the two panels I attended. Con Etiquette- which is one of the panels I like to attend at each convention. The other was a Hentai panel, and was informative. I enjoyed the slow-paced feeling the convention had opposed to the massive and irritating time I had at SacAnime. Though if it wasnt the heat it was the coldness... I probably wore a costume I shouldn't have because it was so cold... I may not wear the Scout outfit for yaoi-con. That aside; I found it very odd that I got more recognition for the costume at AD than I did at sacAnime... Which made me dislike SacAnime even more if that was possible.
As for the troublesome things at the convention; aside from being a little bored here and there, I did find entertainment. I wasn't really happy that there were so few cosplayers but that wasn't the con's fault or the staffer's. One thing that did bother me was the map that I had from both AD's site and the one they gave me... It was VERY confusing and trying to find something to eat was troublesome. Jon and I got misplaced trying to find somewhere to eat and we ended up at a pizza place near the BART. I don't know if this was an issue with the map itself, or if it was just because the campus is confusing. But that was my biggest 'gripe'. I was looking forward to eating sushi and Japanese food but I couldn't find the place that was mentioned on the convention brochure.
Stars: **1/2 The same rating I gave for Kinyoobi, I would have given it three if I could have found the places I wanted to eat.

Event Report: Cosplay Dodgeball (10/4/09)
Okay~! It's time for my Cosplay-Rating Journal!
This edition: Cosplay Dodgeball at The Rink
Pros:
-BEST event thus far!!
-Very active, something different than just meetings and conventions.
-Beautiful places for photoshoot.
-Got to meet awesome people.
-Overall absolutely loved my entire time!
Cons:
-None, only thing that was a bit of a 'con' was the fact that I was having a costume malfunction with Jon's headset... I will have to work with it later.
Overall: I honestly procrastinated quite a bit at the last moment for this event... Big surprise right? Honestly though I was not feeling good the week before the cosplay had to be finished. However when it was all said and done, I'm pretty happy with the result of the cosplay. When it was all said and done, I can't help but reflect and find myself, despite very very sore, absolutely happy with the entire event and my cosplay. I am looking forward to cosplaying more TF2 characters, I received good responses to my costume, people actually knew who I was. ^^ The best event thus far, honestly I think I've had more fun here than at any convention or cosplay event. It was amazing, thank you Jason for hosting it!
Stars: ***** Absolutely wonderful event!

Con Report: SacAnime Summer 09 (8/31/09)
Now that I'm rested up and a bit more relaxed from the convention, I can finally blog on it. I wanted to do it yesterday but I was exhausted from two days of utter hell and utter bliss. Overall my convention time was absolutely wonderful. It was one of my favorite cons thus far (granted I've only been to 3 but yeah). Did I love it more than Animazement? I really can't say that, nor can I say I liked it any less than AZ. Instead of ranting big and long, I'll list pros and cons of the eh, con! And elaborate upon them.
Pros:
-Got to enjoy the company from Mel and the gang.
-Met Diane, Andrew and many others!
-Got to hang out with my 'other' Hetalia group, from Kinyoobi.
-Met up with an awesome Beat and Rhyme from World Ends With You.
Cons:
-It was HOT as hell on Saturday... And I was wearing a non-zip hoodie and two pairs of pants and a hankercheif around my face.
-Tiny venue, apparently bigger than Scottish Rite but still. I'm surprised my Shinigami wings survived.
-STUPID STUPID idea of putting Artist Alley in the fucking hallway, where it was cramped to begin with.
-Idiot cosplayers/convention attendees: People who ran around and acted like morons, even more so than Animazement.
-Fucking nazi staff, HORRIBLE staff in my opinion. Things were NOT handled correctly in any shape or form. They were outright bitchy and snotty and sometimes I even wondered to myself were they drugged- some were very clueless in what they were doing. For instance: my boyfriend had his sword peace bonded and a woman ran up screaming at us demanding to know if it was real, even though she SAW it was previously peacebound. Another time we just wanted to get back to Aurora's hotel and we kind of stepped too close or something to the con before it was open on sunday, and we got our heads bit the hell off even after I told them that we just wanted to get to the hotel room and we were made to go all the way around the con just to get to the hotel room.
-At the rave, we could not leave and return... Making it IMPOSSIBLE for us to get water, nice going guys... Complete idiot mistake on staff's part. Finally they got water going, but INSIDE of the rave in the back in some dank corner... Stupid, STUPID idea.
the WTF and not sure if it is pros or cons:
-Was glomped from an Italy even though I was not in Germany's costume, I guess she thought I was, I was wearing a black tank and had olive green pants on (I was out of costume for my Shinigami). Never before have I been glomped, but I nearly was taken down to the floor, I'm a very tiny person so it kind of scared me. ;___; In the process of getting glomped my Hungary friend was injured upon the ankle, since I was thrown against her pretty much, she was sitting upon a sofa arm and I was standing.
-Jon bought me an Itachi plushie, which is now nicknamed "My Dick". Story went sorta like this: Jon bought me an Itachi plushie. I asked if he was cute... Jon said that Itachi was a dick... So I asked him if he wanted to hold my Dick. Jon said no. ;_;
-No one (except a few people maybe 2) realized who we were cosplaying on Sunday (Gokudera and Yamamoto). And here I thought that I would be more recognized lol. Even one person thought I was Sephiroth for some strange ass reason.
-Staff member thought my wings were a weapon and asked if I had them peace bound, I had to show her that they were wings and she was like 'oh so they are wings!'.
-My dynamite was NOT peace bound, but apparently crepe pans and the basket of flowers for a friend who was playing Aerith had to be peace bound.
-Rave had Miley Cyrus playing apparently...
Saturday overall: Very slow start, Jon and I were a bit irriated with the con at first and wondered if we had wasted 30$. After lunch (when I met my Cammy friend) things started to pick up and we ran into Aerith and Vincent who were going to cosplay Beat and Rhyme the next day, asked us to bring our costumes back since we were doing KHR for Sunday... Good thing we ran into them, cause that and hanging with Mel's friends made the con. Later on after we met Aerith and Vincent we ended up meeting up with Mel, Diane, Andrew, Celina, Julie and others. Hung out at the hotel room for a while, cooled down, then went back out, got glomped by Italy, returned to hotel room after talking with Kinyoobi Hetalia group, changed into rave kitty... Went back out, did a Beatles Congo-Line, which was awesome, even a Spy from TF2 joined in... But then we played "Get Back Jojo" and every man ran from the dance party. Little later, Diane almost got woosy from dancing to Beatles music... We returned her to her room, then we went to the rave, met back up with Cammy and stayed till 12, went back to our place for the night and passed out.
Sunday overall: Again pretty slow start, moreso than cosplaying TWEWY... No one seemed to realize or care what we were cosplaying (Gokudera and Yamamoto). Found some awesome Phoenix Wright cosplayers. Could never find Beat and Rhyme, we were sad... So we switched to our reaper costumes anyway cause of bad reception for KHR. Though! Rhyme found us! YEY! And then we had an awesome photoshoot, couldn't find a Neku but then found one right before she was going to leave. Hung out with them till we had to leave, packed up when we got back to Dixon, went to Tacobell and headed home. Did I ever miss you foggy Daly City!!
Convention overall & Stars: Despite the chaos that I listed above, overall I ABSOLUTELY loved this convention. We are heading back to SacWinter with some hope! Next con: Yaoi-Con!
**** Would have been more if we didn't have the issues that we had.

Event Report: J-Pop Summit (8/17/09)
So the J-Pop Summit went pretty well. Overall I was happy with the entire thing, however I'm also pretty damn bummed as well.
1.) I was not able to see Amano nor was I able to get his autograph because I was royally screwed over, but one of my roommates and my boyfriend got his signature.
2.) I missed the gothic lolita panel- I was stuck the f'ck outside because of stupidity known as NO ORGANIZATION at the summit.
3.) It was hot as hell and I decided to wear my goth gear, black corset and skirt.
4.) I was told that they were having Sake SAMPLES, they were not free.
5.) Almost lost my foot to a gate some fucking staff member dragged over my foot and tore my hose with.
6.) Got yelled at staff members for being confused- when it was their fucking fault that no organization was taking place.
Now I come to the most depressing thing.
6.) Jon LOST the tote bag that had his book he bought and had Amano sign it. Further the tote bag had my program from Distant Worlds in it, had my cute fox post cards I got and a brand new manga I barely got to even read. And some douche bag decided to STEAL the tote from where he left it. Hope they burn in hell. We ended up in SF to nearly 11pm and I was overall exhausted and tired and irritated with the entire thing and was trying to keep the boyfriend from emoing all over the place when he was the first person to get Amano's signature and lose the damn thing.
The good parts?:
1.) Got to chill with Mel!! That was a lot of fun.
2.) Got to taste very good sake.
3.) Ate takoyaki- yum yum.
4.) Got almost all of our cosplay stuff that was needed.
5.) Got pictures of Amano.
Want a small look at Amano and his creations? Sorry I wasn't able to take any other photos of the summit, I wasn't really honestly interested and I felt weird asking the Lolita cuties for their photos but I was asked to have a photo taken of me... It was rather odd! I wasn't even in costume. .____.

Con Report: Kinyoobi 09 (8/10/09)
Well, Kin-Yoobi went pretty well. I'm overall happy with the 15$ that was spent. I got great deals on a good amount of doujin and other things. Thanks Jon for putting up with me that day. Overall I had 2hrs of sleep- if not less. After the con we went to the mall with a group of friends, people parted like the sea when they saw 3 ninja and two Axis powers... Was pretty funny. Instead of going through and stating everything that was good and bad, I summed it up below. However I did have an issue; and it was my fault. Apparently my binding slipped and it ended up bruising my ribs, never again will I use an acebandage.
Pros: Small amount of people
Got to meet up with a group of awesome hetalia fans
Awesome deals
Free food
Fun videogames; even though I had more fun watching people
Cons: Not much to do
DJ Sucked
Panels were weird, didn't seem to work out well.
Some irritating people
No airconditioning
15$ a little steep for what was there
Crappy, and I mean crappy rap
Lots of naruto music
Would I return for another year?: Honestly? ...Probably not. Unless I went later on in the day and spent less for what it was. I'm kind of on the fence on this one. I did like it, and I did like the atmosphere, but at the same time 15$ really wasn't worth it.
Overall Stars: **1/2 If you like extremely tiny cons and a laidback time.

My best friend Gwen "EternalStar"
What was your first costume and why?
Opera Vectra, it was a last minute costume for a party... Pretty bad actually, but I still enjoyed it.
What is your favorite costume and why?
World Ends with You Generic Reaper, even though it didn't get a huge amount of fans.. I did end up meeting a very nice Beat and Rhyme, we ended up having a wonderful photoshoot.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
I have three actually. 1.) Bekko from ZombieLoan (ferryman uniform) 2.) Skull from Disgaea 3.) Franziska von Karma from Phoenix Wright
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
The most memorable thing so far (yey I've been to a con so now I can type this) would have to be when Rude(GothicAdam), Tifa(Jessie) and myself as Reno were killed by Tonberry(Eiriol) and tons, I mean TONS of people ran up and started taking pics. I know I was on the floor for at least 5-10 minutes.
Do you participate in masquerades?
Nah

No, don't really have any intentions of entering any cos-contests.
