AKON day 1

After getting some much needed sleep, Korafey and I left the hotel around 10/11 this morning. After saying goodbye to my friend because she had to go do her volunteer work, I headed out to get my badge. What suprised me was actually how fast it took. I parted ways with my friend a little before 11 and by 12:30 I was in Artist Alley looking around. From what I heard it took forever and a day so last yearso I was fortunate on that part. I attended the lecture on writing and balancing having a life. For me it was a reminder you can do whatever you want, and still have a life. I know when I'm really into something wether it's writing, working out, ect. I was be obsessive about it. I got my pictuure taken in the costume I wore that day. I decided on a red corset , long black skirt, and my black lace arm wamers with my velvet black cape because even though it wasn't a particular anime charector, I was still dressing up a little. :0) At 5 , Korafay and I met up for a quick lunch/dinner and then I bought of couple of pictures before heading back to my hotel room. After Korafay was done with her volunteer shift, we walked to Dennys and talked while she got food. At Dennys, Korafey mentioned that she felt bad I had to be myself at times because of her volunteer shifts since another friend of hers couldn't make it to the convention this year due to unforseen circumstances. However, I think wether you are by yourself, or with an entire group of friends, conventions like these are what you make of it. You can still take pictures of people wearing cool costumes, do things like shout out "Pikachu thundershock" when you see someone in a Pikachu costume, and attend whatever activies interest you because at anime conventions, if you have the time and money to make it, there's something for everyone.
