Lets all share stories of our K-Con history! Mine is gonna be long so hopefully I dont bore you :}
AHH! ME ME! My group of friends and I have been going since K-Con 2003. It was in Eugene. I remember that first year I stayed in a hotel 5 minutes away from the con hotel and man.. That sucked. LoL. I remember going to my friends room, and it was raining. Our door to the little patio we had was open, and we see this huge black man in cosplay walking around. (Keep in mind, we were still con virgins and very excited) His sandals made this "click-click" as he walked since they were classic japanese sandals. It turned out he was Chris of Baka-Zoku. None of us knew about the great and wonderful BakaZoku then.. but he was so friendly! And frickin' hilarious! The other awesome thing about first year con was that you got to know pretty much ALL of the attendees. We were crammed in a tiny hotel space and there were a whopping 500 of us ? LoL!
Anyone remember Chris dressed up as "PANTY MAN" and Chii yelling and pointing at him all the time? I believe that Chii was the most adorable ever.. She had to voice down and even drew her own "City with no people" book. DAWH! -tackles- I ALSO MET RON THERE! Yay! My cosplay was a catgirl, and a very crappy Tifa!
2nd year! Wow what a year. Moved to Portland at a REALLY nice hotel.. And it was craziness. I remember the poor starving otaku's would eat all the apples at the front desk.. And before the day was up, the whole shipment they had of apples was gone! Ahaha. I don't know if this problem was just our group.. but our keys kept getting demagnitized. I swear we went through like.. 20ish keys. Ahaha. WHATELSE...
All the bishounen/bishoujo rentings going on! Ahaha. Rent one for 2 bucks an hour or a box of pocky. I indulged.. >_> I rented mehself a bishi.
And the tshirt / sign ninjas! THE SIGNS! Oh boy.
And the love puddle. Anyone remember that? A group of people laid down in the main con area and just began snuggling.
The guys who sang the "12 Days of Christmas" but for videogames.. THe first day was JILL VAL-EN-TINE!
Riding the elevators at like 3 in the morning and playing "snaps" with a kid we met. I think his name is Nick. I still see him and I look forward to seeing him. Kwahaha. I cosplayed as Luna from Silver Star Story Complete, and Freya from Chobits
Last year..
Was very fun. Our group slimmed down a bit to pretty much my boyfriend, myself, my best friend, and her boyfriend. I really liked how my cosplay outfits turned out. I WAS ON STAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME! LOL! 5 minutes before, I was in line and got grabbed by someone because there was another Winry.. (from fullmetal alchemist). We were told that we would be helping Bakazoku explain the rules.. Not to fight with someone with the same costume as you. =D I also cosplayed as a fancreation Kero from CardCaptor Sakura. It was so fuzzy and cute <3
We started a "balcony" party.. there was just like 2-3 balconies then a whole horde of us.. Yelling at cosplayers down below because we were on the side that gave us a view of the entrance to the dealers room/parking lot.
Sorry if that was too long! I am so excited for this year.. <3 <3 <3
Hopefully it will be another FANTABULOUS K-Con
