ANIME EXPO 2006 - DAYS THREE AND FOUR
MONDAY was the first day we even had a chance to set foot inside the amazing dealer's hall...
Gazing adoringly at the hott new Squall figure...
That afternoon I met with Sarah (Velvy) and Katie (katielovespink) to shoot Velvy's dream video... Final Fantasy Mean Girls!
We reenacted the cafeteria scene, replacing some lines with FF jokes - "Yuna. You're wearing hotpants. It's MONDAY.... YOU CAN'T SIT WITH US!!"
Regina - Yuna (Velvy)
Gretchen - Rinoa (me)
ESPN girl (forgot her name!!) - Rikku (Katie) - she had the perfect voice!!
Cady - Ashe
We shot it like 6 times from different angles...
Once it is cut and edited it will be posted on youtube :> :> :> I had such a blast and it was suck a kickass idea!!!
After that was done, I made my way back to my car to change into civvies...
We met up with Chrissy and Stephfu to wait the standby line for masq tickets...
Aero and me
Stephfu and Calvin
Long lines are what Nintendo DS's were made for...
we played mario kart together for at least a solid hour! We also pictochatted with random anonymous people who were also waiting the line :b
I loovedd talking to Stephfu :> :> :>
We were soon told that there were "no more seats". I was like err no way and decided to go upstairs to try and get in, and were lucky enough to do just that! We saw the second half of the entries as well as the half-time shows and had a WONDERFUL TIME!!!!
Afterward we went to ghetto Panda across the street for late-night dinner and had even more of a wonderful time :> Such good company...
When I went home that night I discovered that my commissioned Aeris costume had arrived... so I decided to wear it the next day...
TUESDAY was the chillax day the final half-day of AX is meant to be...
I'm wearing my KH2 red hairbow... I need to make a pink bow for this costume :>
Found my high school friend Christine in the dealer's hall!!

and a universal SHOUT OUT to each and every person I talked to, hung out with, or cosplayed with at the con... it seriously would not have been the BOMB-ASS AX that it was without every single one of you... and I am so lucky to be able to call you all my friends!!!
