Thursday:

Anime Weekend in Atlanta 5, It was a blast!!!!! I got there around 8 on Thursday night and pre con was going on! I saw a couple of my friends and of course, Steve Bennet. We ran around trying to find stuff to do or people to hang out with, but of course we ended the night by harassing and picking on Steve and Brandon (whom scared the crap outtalk me cause he got a new hair cut which caused me not to recognize him). After a fun dinner over at Fridays (and Andy TRYING to hit on the waitress) we decided to call it a night and hit the sack.

Friday:

Finally ending our little tradition of getting up at 6 in the morning and taking a shower and changing into our costumes, we got up around 9 and changed (of course, most likely my bag was so sore from Amy beating me in her sleep…shiest), Our first costumes we wore where our Goddess costumes, since we premiered them last year at our first Awa and decided it would be fun to bring them out. As we headed downstairs, we found a bunch of people already lined up to get their pre reg or register for the con. Since having a chance to have a complimentary badge, I headed to the con area to find our animazement table. As time went by and many costume changes I checked out the dealers room. I think that it was about the same size as last time only separated into two rooms. Okay, maybe it was a bit bigger than last year. I was in a real tight budget so I only had about 100 bucks to spend…. of course I scored myself a Utena ring which I shall treasure for a VERY long time hee hee hee…As I ran around some more, I met up with Cliff and the Fujikoma madness began!!!!

Later on, the opening ceremonies started and I have this feeling that the hotel probably does not like us. As gum was being chucked out into the audience the chandeliers where being massacred… BY GUM O.o Ironic huh? As time slugged by, The Karaoke started!!!! I signed up to sing Blue knife in the Sky (Kitty’s N’s theme). Of course, lucky me I choked as I got up there and decided "Ah well!!! Guess I better dance through the song" As I dance my Shorty self like an idiot, Brandon jumped in and showed off his moves along with Donnie as Heat. WooHoo!!! We had FUN! Karaoke acts where awesome and the whole procedure was done pretty well ((I give you major points in having enough guts to sing the Poke Rap Scott… major guts….). Amazingly…I went to sleep after hanging around the Karaoke and singing a duet with Brandon (God, that was good getting all that wailing out singing as Mylene!!!!!) It pissed me off that they had a dance that night and I MISSED IT!!!!!!!! GRRR!!!!

Saturday:

We got up at our usual time and changed into a Bakuretsu Hunter outfits. We headed downstairs and ran into a couple friends and fooled around for a bit. Today was even more crowed and crazy that last time. ^. ^ Line’s where already forming for the dealer’s room. I walked around and saw Alisa, she was in her Morrigan costume so I decided to go up and change into my very own succubus costume, Lilith!!!! We messed around a lot, found Fujikoma yet again ^. ^ (I bet they where trying to stalk me…Just kidding!!!) Later on, I checked out the art room, and I was stopped by Chris Redfield! O.o actually it was just Brandon scarring all the little kids with his shotgun. (: P Meany, trying to kill me the kitty with the shotgun is mean!!!!!) The art room was full of awesome artwork, but I think the best had to have been the models. Too bad my brother didn’t get to display some of his. They are awesome! But he did display his Faye Valentine canvas, which turned out pretty good. Later on that night, the cosplay was set up! Personally, I think they should have organized it better, nobody really knew where you had to be till like an hour before the cosplay. Thanks to some friends of ours, we found out what we had to do and we decided to go get ready. Since Amy was dressed as World of Elegance she needed at least 2 hours to get ready due too a lot of painting. I participated in two skits, the pocket fighter and the "Urd’s Dilemma" skit. Due to a certain "problem" with the sound, we where not able to do our Pocket Fighter skit, so I ran to change into Urd. ^. ^ The cosplay was a blast but it sucked I missed most of the acts …… actually all of them. Phooey! FINALLY!!!! The dance came along and of course, it was crazy!! I didn’t know which one to go to!!!! But I found Fujikoma and decided to tag along and finally see their moves. If I had a chance to I would have bowed in front of them…O.o That’s not an offer yet. After putzing around after the dance at our room party, we called it a night and went to sleep at about 4.

Sunday:

Sunday, what can I really say about Sunday? It was pretty much quite. Everybody was fooling around and going crazy cause it was the last day of the con.

We had to leave early but I made my last couple runs in the dealers room. Sadly I only got to say bye to two Fujikoma boys. I gave my last hugs to my buddies that I will be seeing later on, and we got in our vans and took off (after procrastinating in front of the hotel taking inane pictures). That is about it for my AWA trip!!!! It was a blast! Can’t wait till next year!!!!
