Well this, for what seems the first time, is brought to you from another Viva~La~Cosplay member, Sara. Thank you Sara!!! OTAKON HIGHLIGHTS: We had a blast! Seriously these were the best days of my entire life. I drove down with my dad and Cierra's gang drove down with her mother, and the rest drove down with Dave & JT (stopping at Micky D's on the way!) We got to the hotel on Thursday afternoon. Friday I got up early, after a long night with Gina finishing costumes and all, and walked to the Con Center to wait in line. The first day was our Trigun group, the second day i was dressed as Princess Mononoke, the third day we were dressed up as DBZ I was 18. Met lots of cool people at the con and hotel, and got to see new anime and buy new stuff! But we left Monday morning. OTAKON LIKES: I loved watching the cosplay!!!! And Mystery Anime Theatre 3000 rocked!!!! Those are my two favortite things! Also I was introduced to Anime Music Videos and now I'm hooked!! OTAKON DISLIKES: OTAKON WAS TOO SHORT!!!! IT SHOULD'VE LASTED LONGER!!!!!!!!! OTAKU SHOUTOUTS: Well we all met Dan and Laura, our neighbors in the hotel. There was these otaku playing hacky sack outside in the halls. One of them gave me a card...... The couple of X/1999 costumed girls that we talked to waiting in line the first day. And the guys that sang the Lumberjack song with us in the Cosplay line. Cierra: Also to Chris Miller, my dear Utena and Dios and the girls that borrowed my safety pin who worshipped me like a god!
