Sakura-Con - Day 1

Sakura-Con was a bundle of fun! Cosplaying was really fun, even though no one knew who I was. XP Now, how to describe day one? Well, time to steal Lady Katana's post style:

- Got up at 6:00 am to get ready; left the house at 7:30.

- Arrived at Sakura-Con at 8:20; there were some difficulties in getting my pass. Since I'm technically not old enough to be in the convention by myself, my sister came along to be my adult. Well, originally we got in the pre-registration line, since it was shorter at the time. But, when we finally got up to the front, we found out that she needed to get her pass first before I could get mine. So, since she wasn't pre-reg, we had to go to the back of the long registration line. At least while I was waiting for her I got to snap some pictures of an Aura cosplayer. Anyway, eventually she got her pass, we got back in the pre-reg line and got my pass. Twas 9:50 maybe at the time.

- We then went upstairs to wait in the opening ceremonies line/group (twasn't much of a line at the time, you see). We were both so exhausted already from getting up so early that it wasn't so bad just sitting around for two hours. But then, once we were in the ceremonies room, the best thing that happened was we got to hug Vic Mignogna. ^_^ It was so funny; one girl went and hugged him, then a couple more. After awhile, everyone else figured out, "Oh, so it's okay to go up and hug him?" So all the fangirls jumped out of their seats (including me); I just kept patting his back saying, "My sister loves you!" lol

- After that, we looked in on the iaido performance next door for a bit; I personally wanted to see how good they were, and they looked just fine to me.

- Went downstairs and ate lunch.

- Twas time then to spend money in the exhibitor's hall. Within maybe ten minutes, I spent $160 on four animes: Scrapped Princess, Arjuna, Angelic Layer, and Planet ES. Also bought the Eureka SEVEN soundtrack, Maaya Sakamoto's Nikopachi CD, the Arjuna soundtrack, and a cool Maromi bag. Definitely spent more that first day than I wanted to, but it was all worth it. v^.^

- Around 4:00 PM I went upstairs to wait for the Kaori Nazuka autograph sessions. I was one of the first in line, thank goodness; got her to sign my .hack//G.U. soundtrack. Here's a pic: Kaori Nazuka

After that, we just went home. It was a rather tiring day, even though we didn't do much. At least my costume wasn't too hot, considering all the layers.
Also, I've posted my cosplay pics, if anyone wants to see them.

I guess that's it for Day 1; still ended up being pretty detailed. XP Ah well; next update will be for Day 2. Ta for now then!

God Bless
