Anime Boston 2009

The Awesome

• Getting a ShamWOW

The Good

• Driving to my first convention ever and making it there alive!
• Having great roomates who were mindful of each other and paid~ (doorknocker_dog, elf_1half, __kaze__, sleepy_syusuke, rhapsody_in_rue and her boyfriend, and Miranda (our room/line Ninja))
• Cooosplay group with David and Natasha. Pretty much being ourselves.
• Getting a room with a view! FINALLY!
• lololol not standing in line for the masquerade. Panelist FTW!
• Running the panel AniMyu & Prince of Tennis. Learned a lot more like doing a panel a few hours beforehand is not a good idea. I really had no choice and was pretty dead... better next time!
• Haaaaanging out with everyone. Seeing people, even for a brief second, was awesome. I know we were all busy and like "GAH MUST DO THIS"
• Eating meals. Keeping them down was another story, but at least I ate them!
• Arriving home. Guh.
  
  The Bad
• DAT. CON.
• Cosplay? Wut? Did anyone try? This refers to the ones I DIDN'T know. Really, saw no surprises. EXCEPT THAT PETSHOP OF HORRORS DUO. Other than that...
• CosPlot... what. the. fuck. Was there any point to that?
• Vomiting after every meal for two days. Don't know how I did not get dehydrated.
• Elevators! The little shits that thought "lololol LETS PRESS EVERY BUTTON IN THE ELEVATOR." Next year I'm investing in a jet pack or something.
• Taking 16 flights of stairs to get to the room.
• DRIVING HOME FROM DAT CON. Srsly. Rain marking the end of the world? Not fun. GETTING A FLAT TIRE 30 MINUTES FROM HOME? ABOUT TO DIE. Without that random guy who helped us we'd still be in Long Island City.
• Dealers room having like... nothing.
  
  The Ugly
• MASQUERADE! Save for a few skits... what WAS that? This isn't animenext you know! (zing)
• This is my 23rd convention......... AND I GET CONFLU. FIRST EVER. Got a bad cold. Not a happy camper. Not with AnimeNEXT in two weeks D:
  
  The Outcome
• After going to AnimeBoston for 6 years I think it's my time to stop. Unless they get a freakin' amazing guest I just can't push myself to go anymore. I really sat and asked myself; "So why am I going?" I got nothing =/
  
  ANYWAY. I know what you want... Con pictures can be found here!
  
  But here are a couple of my favorites:

  Hooooly shit terrifying.
  
  
  Can't reach!
  
  
  I have this fear of being picked up/swung/dipped. I immediately freaked out when we did this.
  
  
  Not pictured but at one point during the con he had like 20 people tied up.

Aw that's too bad! You are totally right about the dealers room. I was looking for 4 things and they didn't have one of them, I usually spend butt loads of money in the dealers room, this year I spent $30.

You go to so many cons! AB is the only one I've ever gone to, I don't even know why I go every year... I stopped liking anime 2 years ago. I didn't even bother going to the masquerade (I went to Bad Anime Bad and from what you say that was probably better) or on Sunday. But I still thought it was better than last year.

lol I've been at this for a long long time. I'd say if you want to go to cons, go to Otakon. It has something for everyone, not just anime fans.

I want to go to Otakon soooo badly. My friend is even doing a Johnnys panel this year. But I think it's probably too late for me to get a hotel room...

[jubeichan.livejournal.com]

Is it Christy? Because wed didn't get it =/ but the JE meet up is still on.

I miiiight have room in my room. But right now it could go either way.

I don't know who that is but someone is doing it... I know that lady_mercury is cohosting.

Let me know if you do. That would be so cool cos I've never done anything like that before XD; I'm really quiet and clean hahaha. But if you don't that's cool too, it's not meant to be.

Whaaat really? Ohh Otakon. They told us a JE panel would be way too boring.

I've gotta ask to double check. We have so many may-bes but we don't want 8 people in the room again.

:3 we have the room if you'd like to join us~ alchemy_of_yaoi is going to be in there too!

Ooooh I have to run it past my parents first ^.^;; but I'm really interested in going. How much is it going to be? And which hotel?
