The After(Con)math~ What stories do YOU have to tell?

[makichan]

What every you said to that guy must have been really rotten!

Actually I was really nice to him and gave him good advice. I just got too close to his girlfriend. And then she ended up dumping him at the end of the Con because he was being a jerk. That was the point in which he snapped and kicked me in the face while I was writing down a friends email address^^0...

Anywho. That was my interesting story. Oh and I got hit on by a couple of 14 year olds. Twas kind of creepy seeing as I am 20 and I actually have a nephew who is only a couple of years younger than they were. Luckily I was able to escape. Ninja skills!

wow... sounds like you had a pretty harsh time this year ne? I hope next year goes better for you~*

While walking to the Mall to get our Shino a Nabeshin Costume, after our Hooters adventure, ((A bunch of Naruto Cosplayers went to Hooters after the Merry-Go-Round, and as Kakashi I got the girls signatures, and a picture with them. A little reluctently)) a lady and her boyfriend((I assume)) came up, and questioned our costumes. ((I was wearing a mask, and whatnot)) Eventually I came to the realization that they were both drunk, and very possibly on other drugs. The thought was made concrete when the woman told me that "In five years, after you fill out, you'll be in PlayBoy for sure!"

Lets just say, that no, I'm not really large, but if I'm not 'filled out' by now, I dun' wanna be!

Also, as an eighteen year old feminist, PlayBoy is not something I aspire for.

>.<

Ok, so then what the hell were you doing in Hooters?

Because a bunch of the Naruto Cosplayers had a photo shoot on the carousel in the mall, and decided to go to Hooters afterwards.

I'm morally against Hooters, but was dragged along.
At least I got dinner!

The girls were strangely interested in the whole idea of the con, and wanted to see Sailor Moon costumes. >.<

Their dancing entertained me and I am glad our Shino got in the pic too. He was the only guy in the pic surrounded by SnJ Kakashi, SnJ Iruka, our lady Reno, and all the Hooters girls who were very nice even with the orange hotpants and tight white tanks!

Just so we're clear here, all the yaoi's fine but not  ^

Right!

Well, that proves my sexual orientation I suppose! :lol:

Please explain what the Pie bunny said then cause it did not compute!

I'm not sure myself.  Last I checked, the overwhelming majority of the market for yaoi materials, is female.  In Japan, most gay porn is made for and sold to women.  Some authors have speculated that this is because there is no female character to compete with consumers in their fantasies about the characters. Apparently rabid fans become jealous of such competition, fiction or not.

Thats sorta scary getting crazy jealous of an animated chara....*shivers* I happen to like yaoi and yuri equally which is it is something to go "Awww..... so cute..." or to be used to embarrass overly prudish friends.

My con story…gee, it feels so long, yet like yesterday.  
Kumoricon was my first ever convention, and let me tell you it was and even more than what I was expecting!  It was a total blast, and I was wishing afterwards that they had Kumoricon every weekend.
I went to get my badge a day early…and let me tell you, I was glad I did.  I thought that line was long, and then I saw the next days`!  
First I went to opening ceremonies, which were awesome!  A-Key-Kyo is the best, I tell ya!  And Bakazoku was hilarious!  It was awesome.
I later went to the dealer’s room, which I loved.  I picked up lots of 1-chapter manga comics, an Urusei Yatsura video, and tons of free swag for me and my friends!  Needless to say, I was broke afterwards.  But I had been saving for the con!
I went to the Anime Madlibs next.  They were soooooooooooo fun!  I decided to make one myself, too.  There were lots of yaoi madlibs; and wouldn’t you believe it, I’m still innocent! XD
Then finally the viewing rooms!  I rewatched a few titles, and saw new unlicensed ones (my favorite being Fairy Musketeer.)  But even before that show, my main anime viewing event was none other than…THE MELANCHOLY OF HARUHI SUZUMIYA!  I loved that one even more!  It was hilarious, and the first episode was amazing.  
While I didn’t cosplay this year, I got lots of awesome pictures.  Some of my favorites were The Count from Gankutsuou and Belldandy from Oh My Goddess.  I hope to cosplay next year!
I met some cool people, too.  One person I talked anime and anime clubs with in the badge line, and one complimented me on my Otaku shirt from Hot Topic.  
“Is that shirt from Hot Topic?!”
“Heck yes!”
“High five!”
‘High five’
Overall, my first con was absolutely amazing and wonderful.  It’s a lot more fun to interact with fans in one place then just watching anime by yourself (even if that is very fun, too.)  It was a friendly environment, I had so much fun.  I hope that I will be able to go next year!
Thanks for an awesome con,
CardCaptorConnor-EX.
