*fangirl squeal*

A friend and I, went to our first anime convention. We had fun and got to be ourselves, complete nutcases. On our first day, we re-watched Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz, in English. There was one part that was completely useless, some scene with Dorothy complaining about how the men of the city weren't men, but worthless lapdogs. Being the person I am, I gasped and whispered about how the people of the city all of a sudden started thinking for themselves. I've concluded it was the movie that had the most 'hmm' situations, I still hate Relina, Wufei's word of the day is always justice, and Noin and Zechs needs to have babies and stop beating around the bush.

Somewhere around the time before we arrived at the hotel, we went sightseeing. With one of her friends being our delayed response tour guide we went to the nearby Books-a-Million. We're avid manga readers, I stopped in the manga section, while her and her friend went to the back to look at magazines. In the wall of manga, I found series I didn't know what was licensed: KamiKaze, Orphen, and D.Gray-Man to name a few. Then we hit the Langauge section, and browsed a few books. I picked up some French book and learned some things I didn't learn in school, that book was interesting. She picked up, I'm guessing, a how to speak Australian slang book, it was hilarious. Our tour guide seemed like a deer caught in the headlights and didn't know what to do in the prescence of two overly excited girls in a bookstore. Eventually, we made an attempt to leave, but our first attempt failed and we were in the manga section again. I found some titles that interested us, and gave our tour guide some titles to check out. Finally we left and decided we'll travel back to that bookstore every now and then.

Day two, we browsed the dealer's room for some goods, she caught sight of a Bleach phone dangly thingy. I found a Urahara Kisuke plushie, didn't buy it until later. We made our exit from the room and headed to the panel room to get some info on starting on anime club, we were there for what reason? Oh, for information, they had a lot of chairs open, and the guys were funny, why not listen to what they have to say. After that, a couple of voice actors came in, Scott McNiel and Brett something. Can't remember his last name for nothing. Scott is funny, very funny. He kept saying something about ADD, he's a person that says some funny random stuff. Before we left, we watched a Robotech movie... I still say there's more to it, because it had an open ending and ended with me literally asking, is that it.

On the third and final day, she took pictures galore~. There were some pretty cool cosplayers that had some talent and patience or a lot of money. For 30 minutes, we watched one episode of The Irresponsible Captian Tylor and witnessed a impromptu battle of the pokemon plushies. Again, for the last time, we went to the dealer's room to browse, we bought stuff and wandered off to the game room. Cloud and Sephiroth can DDR, Goku sucks at Super Smash Bros., and some girl rocked at Guitar Hero. The last thing we enjoyed was the panel of voice actors that compared dubbing in Texas and Vancouver. That was entertaining, don't remember the differences and things they had in common but it was fun! That ended our first three day convention =3. I don't have any pictures, since I was the back up camera provider, I left all of that to the photographer in training, that's going to send me the pictures to archive.
