So I have a chance to be a Video Game Staff Member next year at Metrocon. That would save my wallet a lot of cash, but then again I was able to get my money back for the whole weekend from volunteering.



It's why I haven't really been hanging out with a lot of people at Metrocon. Every year I've been volunteering at the convention, and every year, I always can't seem to balance out work and hanging with friends. So sorry, if I haven't been able to hang out as much as I could've.

I still had a heck of a lot of fun this year. It was so much better then last year. It always saddens me when it's over. Sometimes I wish it was a 4 day con. I actually remember the two guys names that run the Video Game room, had dinner with one of them, it was great.

It's hilarious also, when people who came to the con last year, recognized me as the girl who cosplayed Asch last year XD. I guess I'm that recognizable even without the wig. I went around as Roy Mustang, Sheena and Nanao this year. I FOUND MY CAPTAIN, WHILE I WAS NANAO THIS TIME. There's a photo of me somewhere, smacking him with my book XD. We shared info, so now hopefully, I'll be more prepared for days when Bleach gatherings are happening. It's sad, that I've only seen the first 4 episodes of Bleach though. I pretty much doing Bleach cosplay on request now since I don't have a clue about anything Bleach. It took me 4 cons to remember Nanao's captain name, that I can't spell...

The Tales panel was surprisingly successful, at least it look like it was to me. I was shocked to see the number of people at the panel. I wasn't expecting an almost full house. There are a few things I like to fix with it, but it's my first year doing a panel like that, so here's hoping to improve on it next year. Yes, I'm going to run it again next year. People there now know the story behind the 50ft Asch too...and I'm suddenly known as the 50ft Asch after that....ahaha DX, especially after I stood next to a Jade Cosplayer, and told her Asch was taller then Jade lolz. There was even a Raven and Rita cosplay at the con askjghaskgha AND CLESS AND MINT. PHANTASIA CHARACTER COSPLAY ARE WIN.

I ran the Pokemon Tournament again this year. Since when was Garchomp banned from official tournaments? There were some slight issues here and there, like every year, but everyone still had a lot of fun doing the tournament. I WANT THIS WII DOWNLOAD GAME CALL POKEMON SCRAMBLE. THAT GAME NEEDS TO GET TO THE USA LIKE NOW.

Got a heck of a lot of merchandise this year. Got a Luke Fig, Judas fig, Bathrobe Jade and SH!Luke chibi figs, a Disgaea fig that I have no clue who it is, a pin, All of D-Gray Man season one DVDs, Shaymin plushes-both original and Sky Form, and b-day presents. I got free food on saturday, a pretzel and fruit smoothie lol (Some people just want to play DDR over their NEARLY FULL drink). I just notice I only need Anise to complete the Abyss fig set :D. I saw Destiny and Eternia, the localized ones, going for 120 bucks, WTF. Then I saw one of the remake of Destiny going for only 50. WHAT THE FUCK. So if it's import it's cheaper!? Argh, shame the import Destiny, wasn't the recent one with Leon's Story.

...I never get tired of this convention. Ever. I still have all the badges for this con, since I've been going to it every year. Some of the badges still had my actual name on them, before I started using Taisa around 2007. It makes me sad cause after next year, idk if I'll be able to go to Metrocon as much after 2010's Metrocon. If anything, I'll try my best to at least go to that Convention, if I can't go to any other ones. Cause I love this convention a lot and I've got a lot of fond memories from it and it's really the convention that got me give anime cons another chance.

That being said. I'm back guys. Did I miss much?
