So I last cut off by saying that I had the nastiest costume...but someone was right there with me with a fisherman's tunic. I stole her belt, so she had to use her own...lol
The one wearing the tactician's coat is supposed to be a taru.
Here's one of Evv and I in front of 'ze AIRSHIP
Don't I look like Link? All I need is a sword and shield. I did ask for one, but they just laughed at me and walked away... ( ._.)
Here's a pic with the godfather of FFXI.
He's the reason the game is played the way it is played. He bummed a cig off of me...you'd think someone of that calibre would have their own cigs. Hey, i'm not complaining, I got him to take a pic with me because of it!
Here's one with me n' a fellow NPC:
She's so sweet. At first, I was about to murder for the costume, but I'm glad I didn't because she was so damn cool. :)
They also had a silent auction of all the banners and cutouts at the festival. This sexy one of Lion went for $200+
Note the placement of the hand. Kindda crazy how her legs come up to my neck... :T
Here's one with the coolest of the 6 mithra~
They were all professional models and were paid $200.00 a day for taking pictures with creepy guys all day! Not paid enough imo...
After it all, there was a volunteer raffle for the leftover prizes. There were all sorts of things: kenwood sound systems (2 of them), logitech speakers (i hate logitech), xbox remotes, AV cables, ZCats comics, Penny Arcade propoganda, web cams, ethernet cables...Anyway, they had us write a 3 digit number on a card. The director writes a 3 digit number as well and the person closest to his number got to choose the first prize. I choose 347 and Evv chose 750. So the director reveals his number and it's 351 . So I was the closest one so i got to go first. :) I choose the $750.00 sound system. w00w00!
Here's bennygirl chilling on the prize :)
All in all, I had a great time and much more pics. But they come out huge and I have to re-size them so I only picked these. I had Matt (director of Media) promise me to take me to the next E3. ^^;
Time to get back to my mundane life in Irvine and get ready for finals. *sigh* I miss it...
