This was my first year since 2002 not going

 

[X-Ray]

Welcome back Oak

 

[oakzap425]

Hey Hey, X-ray!


Goddess, don't worry...

I actually think this years con was pretty bad. It was so disorganized, nad I really don't think they should have raised the attendance cap. 25,000 people was just too much. The dealer's room line was ridiculous. And they oddly showed lots of dubbed anime.

And lots of repeats from last year. I didn't eve watch anime or go to panels this year. I felt like I just went to the dealers room and walked around.


I really hope next year is better. By the way... the days are July 20th-22nd, 2007. Super early...

Wow Oak you stood in the Dealer's room line, I just walked right on in the first day, wow. Didn't really watch any of the anime, wasn't much there I wanted to see. Whoa July, gotta pre register again. I thought some of the costumes were better, but the Sephiroth's coulda been wayyyy better, but the Naruto's were nice.

Anyway hope my hometown was good to ya.

 

[oakzap425]

You went?!

Wow, why didn't you tell me?! We coulda hung out!

Yeah... Dealer's room line was god-awful.

What did you buy?

I bought:
Azumanga Daioh Thin Pack
Mezzo Thin Pack
Abenobashi Thin Pack
Tenjho Tenge Round 8 (I'm pissed I bought this now. Retail stores are selling them with collector's pencil boards! )
Overman King Gainer 3/4
Death Note 2-6
Hot Gimmick 6-11
Anne Freaks Vol. 2
Dragon Head 2-3
Newtype August Issue
Naruto and Sasuke Cell Phone Charms
Naruto Key Chain


I think there is other stuff I might have bought... I just don't remember.

I remember at one point at the ADV table, I blew $100 in 2 minutes...

I didn't really buy anything special it was my ex's b-day wkend so it was for him really and yet he bought a bunch of stuff for us. Only anime I got really was City of Sin (hentai), Yukikaze(2&3) for ex and bf, Sesshomaru and Sango keychains. I wanted the Naruto and Ichigo plushies but wasn't gonna pay 10 bucks for a medium size toy I can find a better price if I look. If you saw this little girl (my daughter) Saturday..then you saw me.

And my favorite Cos of the whole thing
KAKASHI AND ZABUZA THE SEPHIROTH'S SUCKED

 

[oakzap425]

I GOT A PIC OF THAT ZABUZA TOO!

But I don't think I saw that little girl..

 

[Dorian Gray]

I was going to attend but I came down with the Chicken Pox and couldn't make it....

 

[oakzap425]

Well, there's always next year.

Hey, around that time, I should start a thread and see who here on the hype is going. We should all meet up.

I'm cosplaying seriously next year.

I know I'm doing Akabane Kuroudo one day. My second costume, I'm not too sure about yet.
