Okay, for those who don't know I went to Anime Detour April 3-5 and it was awesome. Minus the coming home sick thing. This was my 4th year going (and the cons 5th year running). I have to say I had a bit more fun this year then last year. I think I had my picture taken just as many times as last year... though I have yet to see any posted online... kinda sad. (There were like a million cameras at the Naruto photoshot and only about a dozen posted... wtf?)
Turns out I'm also in the background of a video on YouTube, though it's not what I would call one of my shining moments. ^^; (Not to mention, in my opinion, the event being taped wasn't as spectacular as everyone seemed to think it was...)
I think I'll have to get some shots of me in my Sakura cosplay on my own time so I can add them to my various cosplay sites. (I adore that outfit! It turned out so well.)
And my brother went with me this year, which was awesome. I got to dress him up too! He was Itachi... wearing sunglasses... making him Blind Itachi ^.^ He's not really a Naruto fan but he wanted to cosplay and he made a damn good Itachi... horray for putting my Narutardedness on other people!
Here's the breakdown of my weekend: Friday was spent in street clothes mixed with Naruto gear. The day started with waiting 2 hours for my badge... that was just plain boring as hell. Then it consided of me rushing to get ready for the RR v MSA panel that I co-hosted with 4 other people. I then spent some time chilling till Opening Ceremonies at 5 P.M. After that we spent the evening relaxing and preping for the crazyness that is Saturday.
After a semi-late start and missing the A.M. Naruto panel, dressed and ready, my brother and I set to wondering between the hotel room, dealers room, and courtyard for most of the afternoon. We caught the Witchblade panel (where the best line ever uttered was born and used all weekend) and then resummed wondering for a short while before returning to the room to obtain food and watch the Cosplay Competition. It wasn't as exciting as last year's, and it almost seemed to be a bit shorter. Still, not going to complain cause then people will tell me to sign up for it. Not happening.
Anyway, then we opted for watching the Dance rather then attending but that wasn't as exciting as we though and were glad we stayed in the room. We watched Adult Swim and called it a night (even though it was early in the A.M. when we went to sleep.)
Sunday finally rolled around and we were met with cloudy/rainy weather and it was about noon when we woke. So instead of cosplaying for only 4 hours we opted to just wonder in regular clothing. (Thus my pre-time skip Sakura and my brother's Kimblee cosplays never saw the light of day.) We wondered between con space and the room for a portion of the afternoon before making our way to Closing Ceremoines, where we got a very anti-climactic End of the World. XD
And that was my weekend at Anime Detour 2008. I wish I would have taken pictures... perhaps the story would have been more interesting then... oh well, can't fix that now. ^.^

I still have my pics that aren't up--in fact some of them are still in the camera because I've been feeling that much like shit. I expect to get them up tomorrow or the next day, because I have to also make up an order that came in and of course Dad caught the same crap we have so that'll keep me awake and hopping long enough to get around to getting those pics up, SS.
And remember, don't swallow the P...
