MangaNext Report/Photos
Oct. 11th, 2007 05:10 pmSo, MangaNext was last weekend and I ended up going on Friday and Saturday. Decided not to wear Ayame at the last minute because it was going to be so warm out and pulled out my old Tohru dress instead. My hair was too dark since I haven’t dyed it in ages but oh, well. ^_^;;
My brother and one of his friends were also going so we went into the city to catch the bus. (They didn’t want to get a ride with my father in the morning since the con didn’t start until later.) Due to my brother not being ready on time, we missed the bus and had to wait for the next one an hour later. -_-
Anyway, got to the con a while after 2 and watched what was left of Lady Ava’s panel. The rest of the afternoon was spent talking to people, wandering through artist’s alley and the dealer’s room, and getting a few Tohru photos since it was an older costume that I didn’t have many good pictures of. My father came to pick us up after work so we left around 7.
Saturday got off to a rough start. I had to rush to get ready as Count D and my fake nails just didn’t want to stick. (Helping paint the house finally took its toll on my real nails. I’m hoping they’ll grow back by NYAF.) My father drove us to the hotel and I got a bit carsick, which normally never happens to me. Plus, I didn’t have any contacts in yet so my vision was a bit blurry. So, sorry if you talked to me that morning and I seemed kind of out of it. I can never seem to make it through a con weekend without being frazzled or dazed at some point. ._.;
Still managed to have some fun that day though. Made a very, very brief appearance in cosplay chess. Jamie got me off the board within the first few moves since she knew I wasn’t feeling completely well and I was just an extra in case one of the pieces didn’t show up. Was nice to be able to just sit and watch the rest of the match. ^_^ Afterwards was more wandering, chatting, and getting some new Count D pictures. Had to leave around 7:30 so watching the dating game was an amusing end to the con for me.
my favorite of the Tohru pics my brother took

Update on costume progress and other stuff next time.
