Acen.

I just got back from Acen. It PWNED!!!! I was on my feet for over four hours, I didn't sit down once! A bunch of people stopped to take my picture. One, when I was walking to the hotel for the autograph signing (more on that in a minute), was a girl yelling out the window "MIYU!!!" I turn around, and she says, "Can I take your picture? We've been looking for you all weekend!" So, of course, I let them. The autograph line was for Chris Patton (who is VERY funny), Travis Willingham, Christopher Ayres, and Greg Ayres. I. Met. Greg. Ayres. Now, I didn't go all fangirly over any of them, mind you. But I MET Greg Ayres. His hair was awesome, it was blue and purple. :P But yeah, I met some fellow Rangers. I saw a group of them wearing shirts with our symbol on it, and I shouted "RED DAWN!" which is our war-cry. So, one says it back, and comes up to me and hugs me. I introduce myself, Max, and she says "Mandy." Here's where my jaw drops. This is the woman whose videos of the Rangers and Vic got me to join. And I met her at my first con. AWESOME!! Later on, while we're still in line, I'm talking to two other Rangers, and Mandy comes up to me and hands me her cell phone, and says, "Here, talk to Vic." Yes, ladies and gents. THE Vic Mignogna. The leader of the Rangers. So I take it and say "Hey man, what's up?" very calmly. (See? I'm very stoic, I can't go all-out fangirl.) Soo, we chatted for a little bit. He asked me if I was tired, and I said "Nope, and I have yet to sit down." "Really? Wow, you're the first person I've talked to that hasn't said they're tired yet!" And he told me he wants to meet me at a con (he says that to everyone, I just know it, lol!!) So, I told him I can only come to Acen, since I can't travel much. He asks if I live in or near Chicago, and I said "Well.....yeah, near you could say." And he tells me about (I think he said) Gekkou Con (It was loud, hard to hear him.) and that he's going next year, and hopes to see me there. (Again, he says that to ALL the Rangers he meets, I know it.) But I'm happy I got to talk to him. So I get the autographs, I talk to Chris, Chris, Travis, and Greg for a bit, and mosey on out. Commence buying scene. I bought a Kirara plushie, two Inu-Yasha DVDs, a Kyo Sohma shirt and Inu-Yasha shirt. (I didn't have a lot of money on me.) I got a bunch of pictures. There was a LOT of Ouran cosplay! When I met Mandy, she was with two twins cosplaying Hikaru and Kaoru, and I snapped a picture of them. Twice. (second time when they tried their pose, one was falling over, and they had to hold on to each other, lol! It worked out well, though.) :) When I can transfer the pictures onto the computer, I'll upload them. :) It was a fantastic day; I got to cosplay on my first con, got a bunch of compliments on it, met Greg Ayres (Should've taken a picture with him, too! I got one with Travis.), met Mandy, talked to Vic for the first time without internet means, met other Rangers, got my plushie, shirts (I'm wearing the Kyo one now), and DVDs......Life's good, lol! My feet were really dirty, though. (Miyu walks around barefoot, with just a ribbon.) For the record, no, I am not an FMA fan, for those who don't know. I got Travis' autograph for a couple friends of mine, and the picture as well for them. See how nice I am? Lol! Max's New Vid (since you missed it): For my hero. ^-^ XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO Kaolla-Max (A.K.A. Vampire Princess Miyu)
