Went back to the AA for a while while everybody else was at the ball. I mean, there was a Risky Safety clip in it! Who even knows what that is?
#AWA ARTIST ALLEY DOWNLOAD#
I can't wait to download it and watch it again, but all I can say is that I was really impressed by the variety of anime that were in it this time around! A lot of the same old same old (Death Note and Azumanga Daioh out the wazoo once again), but a lot of obscure stuff, older stuff, and just awesome stuff. We packed up the table around 6ish so I could go to the screening of AMV Hell 5 and.omg, it was so worth it! Watching an AMV Hell with a large group of people is always fun, but watching a brand new one was one hell of an experience (.no pun intended). I don't even know the names of most of the Pokémon - and that's really exciting! It's like starting over fresh, but not quite because it's something I'm quite familiar with because it is Pokémon.Īnyway, tl dr, I got a shiny new game, and proceeded to play the heck out of it all weekend. And it's not just that it's a game that I'm excited to play or anything, it actually is a good game, and since nobody knows everything there is to know about the game, what with it not even having been out for even a week yet, I don't know what's going to happen. Normally dropping that kind of money on a video game would give me buyer's remorse but.I really like it! I'm super impressed by it so far. I found the booth that was selling it asap and well, I won't say how much my copy of Pokémon White was, but I think it was worth it. As in the one whose release date was Saturday. =DĪt some point or another I left the table (to get lunch I think?) and ran into a friend from Columbia who had literally just walked out of the Dealer's Room with a completely legit imported copy of Pokémon Black. He turned out really cute, and I literally finished him with my spare time on Friday.
#AWA ARTIST ALLEY ZIP#
xDĮventually, Zip left to get food and wander the con, so I decided to do something productive and make myself a prop for my White costume for the Pokémon photoshoot on Saturday, and started making a little Mijumaru feltie. I also made some people do a double take (no pun intended.) in the Dealer's Room when they noticed the slipper I was holding while nonchalantly asking about Kamen Rider W goods.
#AWA ARTIST ALLEY CRACK#
Zip and I got some crack shots at some point. My efforts were for naught, though, since nothing sold at all on Friday. Instead we improvised with boxes and fabric and all sorts of other crap. That failed before we even tried it, they were WAY too unstable. Originally we were going to use these massive wooden display boards. We got to the convention center around 7ish I think? and checked in and etc, then went out to Zip's aunt's house for the night.Īfter we got everything hauled to wherever it was supposed to go and got all checked in, I mostly kept myself busy trying to create some sort of not-crappy-looking display for our table in the AA. I have a Scizor named Terui now, and he is officially ~badass~. We were literally stopped on some country backwoods road parked right in front of some person's house for like twenty minutes. We left asap after my shift at the fabric store and go on the road! And immediately hit TRAFFIC FROM HELL.
Kamen Riders spotted: only two but.damn were they cool! Steps in Pokéwalker: 33,833 (not much walking to be done in Artist's Alley, unfortunately)įavorite Costume: Gijinka Flygon again (what, it's such a fun costume to wear!)įavorite Cosplayers: the trio of vin_faucon , al_icat and cardcaptorkiki as Izzy, Sora and Tai on Sunday.įavorite Moment of the Con: *puts on Filia costume* *gets swarmed for pictures* D: "Wait, I still need to put half of the costume on!" Swag: Pokémon White, a bunch of Pokémon kids, Slayers Super Explosive Demon Story manga (one signed by Lisa Ortiz!), handmade Mijumaru plushie (is it still swag if I made it? xD) I was also pretty exhausted for a lot of the con.nonstop work right before going to a convention will do that to you.Īnyway, without further ado, the con report! Heck, I didn't even make it on time to all four of the things I said from the getgo that I wanted to go to at this con.
It was an interesting experience not trying to rush around and go to 500 events.
Still sold some stuff, got some commissions so.I can't complain, right? I really think the strict rules against fanart and the like hurt our chances of success, but whatever. First time doing an Artist's Alley (I don't think NashiCon's really counts since I just sort of dump some stuff on a table and run around being all STAFFU~ instead of actually sitting at the table), so that was an experience. So AWA this year was.interesting to say the least. Here's a nice summary of my weekend, in picture form:
