| Saturday, April 27th- Didn't get much sleep, but all ready to go. Picked up my buddy and we hitched a ride to the Santa Clara Convention Center. It was still early, so we obtained our badges stood in line for the Dealer's Room with a friend. Our school's Anime Club slowly gathered, and we had some stay in the Dealer's Room line and the rest get in line for tickets to that night's "Der Cosplay." After tickets were taken care of, we entered the great place called the Dealer's Room. After killing my wallet, we went out and saw seven minutes of Seven of Seven and episodes 3 and 4 of Furi Kuri. We had to see episode 3 twice because the first time it had no subtitles. After that, we wandered to find food, but found none. So we ate some apples I had brought. After, we had to locate and check in with the parental unit and plan meeting times. ~STUFF HAPPENED~ At five, we got in line for good seats for Der Cosplay. It would be a long wait, so we got some Magic Knight Rayearth playing cards. It started at seven. Well, no, it started at eight, they had problems with the sound system. It was a very enjoyable event. At eleven, we reported back to the parental unit(an hour and fifteen minutes late, oops!), and got our curfew extended to six a.m. so we could watch fan parodies. We(the majority of the Anime Club present) watched for four hours, but did not see the two parodies we were really watching for(*sniff*, no ReDeath or Fanboy Bebop!). My partner in crime and I went to bed. It was about 4:30. Sunday, April 28th-I woke up at about 6:30. I had to stay in the room, so I took our new playing cards and played solitaire. When everyone else was up, we went down to the lobby and ate breakfast. Then it was Dealer's Room time again. More spending, then Love Hina, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, the last two episodes(5 and 6) of Furi Kuri, and Love Hina Again(no really, it was called that!). All in all... I wanna go back now.
