Well, I got back from it on Sunday. A bit late, but I thought I'd do a little storytime.

I went as Shana from Shakugan no Shana both days just so you know. Expect some pictures!

DAY 1
God was Saturday hectic. The building didn't seem to support any wireless device this year, and I had hell trying to call my friends to meet up. Then there was the Ubisoft booth and their Just Dance 4 preview that drew a freakishly large crowd. I got stuck in it at least three times. Other than that, it was great. Bought a lot of sweet animu/X-Men swag. Being the sad, pathetic fangirl I am, I spent $25 dollars on a tiny Izaya figure. Bite me.
I didn't have too many people recognizing me, but the people that did were really nice. One guy said I was dressed up as his waifu apparently. :XD: I also caught the Tiger & Bunny panel, so that was a lot of fun.
And let's not forget the Homestuck meet-up. :iconotagen: was dressed up as a Homestuck character, so I decided to hang out with him until the panel started. That cosplay meet-up blocked off a whole entranceway and it took an hour before anyone decided to kick them out. O_O

DAY 2
I actually managed to stay undder budget and bought only one thing that day. :XD: Hung out with my buddies, :iconsigma-the-enigma: and :iconrosaliemyca:. We did people watching for most of the day. Found the best 10th Doctor cosplayer ever! He was so in character, if his accent were correct, I literally would've thought we were actually meeting the Doctor. :XD:
Main highlight of Sunday was the FUNiMATION Entertainment panel. It was my first ever industry panel, and I was super excited. It was awesome getting to hear the new licenses before anyone else, but the best part was probably when I got to ask a question about their former FUNico program. They got pretty quiet and awkward before answering. I personally don't believe their answer, but whatever. :XD:

Other News
Sorry for not abding to my Worldwide Overture every two weeks thing. With Comic-Con and the upcoming PSATs, I haven't had time to do anything hobby related. (In fact, I shouldn't even be writing this journal right now.) I'll be back on schedule soon with double the posts!

And remember that whole review every animated movie thing? With good viewings of Hotel Transylvania and Frankenweenie, big expectations for Wreck-It Ralph and Rise of the Guardians, and moderate expectations for The Croods, Monsters University, and Epic, I honestly thought this would be a swell idea.

Then I discovered this monstrosity:www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8pDKi…
And I realized I had to watch it.
So if you hear any news stories this December about a girl committing suicide in a movie theatre after shouting obscenities at a kids' flick, now you'll know why.

Long post is long. (I needed an excuse to procrastinate on studying. :P)

EDIT: One more con story! I literally thought I was the only Shana. Then right when I started walking out of the con on Sunday, I saw another. WHAT THE FLYING FUCK WERE THE ODDS?!
