A-Konnnnn!!

So! Time to tell my A-Kon story for 2011 :)

Friday afternoon we drove up and checked in. Small room, nice and cozy, very excellent. We showed up wearing Pokemon and spent TWO HOURS waiting in line to get our badges. And that was just the pre-reg line! I can't imagine being in the on-site reg line. Ughhh. After we got our badges we went upstairs and changed into Titans. Man it feels sooo good to rock Raven :) I think I like it the most because the makeup is easy and flattering, ha ha. Once we went back downstairs people LOOOOVVVEEDDD up again, just like every year. Not gonna lie... it's quite a thrill to have people taking pictures of you. I don't want to know how much of it is fap material, but let's forget about that.

So we just trolled around in Titans and ate ice cream in the Plaza by the ice rink. Ohhhh girl, a big black woman and her man were fighting and screaming in the Plaza! JERRY JERRY JERRY! It was great! Then we ran into a Snakes N Barrels Pickles, Charles, and Toki who were mildly rude about taking pictures with us. Ruuuude. Whatever. Then we changed into Sirens for the photoshoot with Sharri and Max. Well we did the Harley-Ivy-Catwoman pillow fight shoot, but they didn't want to do the night shoot down on the streets, so we essentially got all dressed up for nothing. But it was sooo good to see Max again :) I love that guy, he's so funny. And he does the absolute BEST Murderface voice I've ever heard.

OH MY GOOODDD. So while we were waiting for the elevator in the South Tower, me and Heather got to take a picture sitting on this huge guy's shoulders. IT was so fun and scary at the same time! Then I actually STOOD on his shoulders! Of course, I took my heels off, but it was still fun and scary. I totally jumped off him and landed on my feet, but slid a bit and fell down due to my tights. Glad it was semi-graceful, ha ha. That was super cool :)

And then we got tired and went to bed. And I must say, that was the best sleep I've had in a very long time. We woke up, packed up, and threw on Titans one more time. As we're roaming downstairs, I saw someone dressed up like The Crow and HAD to get a picture. I rarely ask for pictures, so this was a big deal. The guy did a great job on his costume and had the perfect Crow face! I was very impressed! Then we hit up that dealer's room and I didn't find any Gundam kits I wanted :( It's really hard finding G Gundam ones since that's like, the Gundam series no one really liked :P I already have a Burning and a Shining model, but I'd like to find a Master, Rose, or Nobel Gundam kit.

But I did find a cool Dethklok shirt that they only had one shirt left of, and perfectly in my size :) What's better is that it's a 2007 tour shirt! Epic! Surprisingly I didn't buy useless shit like I always do. If anything, I would have bought some art or those cool mermaid steampunk goggles. Damn, they were GORGEOUS. Steampunk normally doesn't do much for me, but this rocked my world.

And then we packed up and went home. Back to society. Back to normal jobs. Back to people wearing normal clothes. I must say, I love being able to roam a hotel full of trannies, cross-dressers, goth kids, wild hair, crazy tattoos, giant costumes, rave gear, and creepers and still feel great. It's like, the best escape from the world :) I can't wait til A-Fest in the fall!
