Geh, here's my AX 2009 report~ I only went two days but I'll try and mention as much stuff as I can!

Friday, July 3, 2009:

I had three of my friends hitching a ride with me. Saw lots of awesome cosplayers and met Monty Oum, creator of Dead Fantasy! *___* He was so nice and such, though I felt bad when he said he was showing previews at the AMV and we couldn't make it.

So yeah, we went there around 9:00 in the morning and my friend told me the exhibition hall wasn't open till like 10 am or so, so I suggested that we could try and get Toshiyuki Morikawa's autograph *I was so happy when my other friend told he was having another autograph session that day* ...we ended up waiting around 2 hours and I, erm...kinda ditched my friends because that friend who told me about the autograph session was holding me a place for the Yun Kouga panel, I was super excited (and along the way, kept on apologizing to my friends at the Toshiyuki Morikawa line).

In the end...after 2 more hours of waiting and cursing the staff for blocking places, my friends and I didn't get a single autograph *and we kinda cursed off the people who got the tickets and kept on cutting the line) XD;; How sad...so yeah. So we went off to the exhibition hall and met a couple of other friends. I tried contacting and though no one replied and my friend wanted me to go shopping with her and I was also worried for , my older brother who was going for the first time (my mom specifically ordered me to watch over him, which was kinda weird, but yeah, I took it to heart) It was really annoying because my brother and I would miss each other's call *he should really update his phone...*

So I ended up running all over the place, trying to buy stuff I said I would buy for other people *total pushover XD;;* And later, I promised a friend I would take pictures of her Taiga from Tora Dora costume, so if you saw a Taiga and a girl holding a camera and taking random pictures of her in the hall, yeah, the girl is me XD;;;

We left early because my brother said he was tired and because my dad had to drop off my mom for her night shift *we left around 7...*

Saturday, July 4, 2009

I thought this day would be better but instead, I ended up rushing to exhibition hall just to buy stuff at the last minute *aka stuff for me because friday, I ended up shopping for others and didn't have time to look at all the stuff I wanted* I finally got contact from though a friend was the one who actually got an answer >>;; I tried contacting other people I'm suppose to meet but my stupid phone was messing with me -___-;; *like I wouldn't know someone had called till like a few minutes later when I would check what time it was going to be* My mom got pissed at me when I didn't answer her calls @__@;;

The good thing that happened was probably knowing that there was an AMV rescreen XD So happy when I found out, and omg, Monty Oum definitely made alot of people happy with his new videos, and ahem, the appearance of a certain blonde character XD;; *I was one of those people who just started screaming at the sight* I'm sorry to my friend, who was beside me. But yeah...

AX was fun this year, though there were alot of things I've regretted. This is by random order...

1. Not meeting and and forgetting to give them my area code number *shot*
2. Not being able to take pictures of my friend's cosplay as Louis *though I had fun taking pics of her as Taiga*
3. Not cosplaying because I was lazy *though next year, I will definitely be cosplaying*
4. Not making a schedule *because I ended up almost killing myself looking for people, damn the fact that exhibition hall's huge*
5. Not getting Toshiyuki Morikawa or Yun Kouga's autograph *but hey, I got Kel Mitchell's autograph, though it's signed to my sister >>;;*
6. Not meeting some of my old high school friends because I was too busy shopping for souvenirs.
7. Not being able to bid at the art auction because I was only going for two days. *ergh, next year, I'm definitely going all 4 days!!!!*
8. Not being able to go check out the cosplay groups I've wanted to check out ;___;
9. Not being able to praise artists I've admired at Artist Alley because of lack of time

Wow, that's a lot of regrets there, though I think I wouldn't have all this regrets if I've planned better @____@;; Meh, here's a brightside though, my friends and I are planning cosplay groups, so here's a sneakpeek of what I'm planning to cosplay as for next year's AX:

1. Punk Gothic Lolita *though I might be doing this myself since my friends think gothic lolitas are too common at AX now*
2. Chie from Persona 4 *we need a Kanji and Teddy!!!*
3. Kirakishou from Rozen Maiden-? <--this one, I really want to do, but I'm not sure if there are enough people who'll want to do it. And include the fact that the outfits are super elaborate and such @___@;;
4. Zidane from FFIX-? *again, not too sure*
