Wow, this year's Anime Expo was the most eventful one yet. I never believed I would be so involved with everything. This year not only did I decide to sell art in Artist Alley but I was also convinced to go out and cosplay with friends. Loads of fun . So I'm just going to bullet the weekend really roughly

Day 0:
- After art class and I went straight to 's place, where was already.
- Once we got to LA we checked in at the hotels and caught up with the rest of eeCafe+ (, , , , , )
-Got our badges in from the con, in the blazing sun...
-Settle down

Day 1:
-Checked in for Artist Alley, in the blazing sun... again...
-Got new badges that said "Exhibitors" rather than "Attendees", I feel special.
-Set up the table with , and realized I forgot my C-clamps for the display.
-Run back to the hotel room, get it, and run back. Not fun.
-Exhibit hall opens and customers start coming in. Excitement.
-Exhibit hall closes and head to dinner at this restaurant that used to be a firehouse (Engine 23 I think?)
-I think the food I ordered had a bit of alcohol in the sauce... Got just slightly tipsy <----- (huge lightweight)
-Get back to hotels and sleep.

Day 2:
-Head to artist alley, today dressed up as TYL Yamamoto from Reborn (or dressed up like I'm going to prom, same thing.)
-Worked at artist alley a bit. Decided to open up commissions (first time I ever tried commissions)
-Head to the Reborn gathering with :nil00: and . They were Hibari and Mukuro.
-Pictures were taken, we look so cool lol.
-Back to artist alley and worked again.
-Closed up and head to dinner at Mccormicks (I don't know if that's spelled right). We went there last year and it was still good.
-Back to Hotels and slept

Day 3:
-Today cosplaying as Kaito from Vocaloid with all of our cosplay friends
-Same deal as yesterday in Artist Alley
-Head to the Vocaloid gathering and a lot of people were taking pictures of us, new experience for me haha.
-Did our Vocaloid Dance of Chocolate Disco by Perfume. I only learned half of the dance 30 minutes before we went to the gathering =A=.
-Head back to Artist Alley and got pictures taken some more by customers haha.
-'s family brought sandwiches which were delicious.
-Caught up with a lot of friends from highschool that I haven't talked to in over a year.
-Back to Hotels and sleep.

Day 4:
-Artist alley stuff again. Cosplayed as Kaito still but this time in a suit cause the costume was slightly annoying to sit down in.
-Last minute commissions
-Artist alley closes and everyone is somewhat in disbelief.
-Head to hotels and changed.
-Went to Little Tokyo and hung out with everyone or the last night. Lots of fun
-Head back to the hotels and hung out some more until 2:00 AM
-Bed and sleep

Day 5: (heading out)
-Wake up and start packing up to check out. Post con depression starting to kick in.
-Saying good bye to and her sisters is always so sad cause we won't see them again till next year.

Yeah it was a really fun weekend and I think I did rather alright at artist alley considering it was my first year. Met loads of cool people and I think I found a new interest, cosplay.

Already excited for AX 2010 .
