Because we all need to go to the Gay Bar...plus other highlights of the 2007 FanimeCon Cosplay Masquerade
Before we get started, I was really loud that night, especially towards the MC, so you might hear me a lot in those videos...
...I wanna go.
Now, time to go find them pictures.
Here is the Best in Show...and I agree.
*calls up to buy a few*
One more for now since I loved this one...

The depression begins.
I just realized that Fanime 2007 is officially over with the end of Closing Ceremonies that just ended 10 minutes ago. I'm estimating that, though, because the fact I was back home in Sacramento and that I was going off the schedule.
My god, I haven't had rice in 4 days. How could I go to an anime convention and not eat rice? Oh well, I got my rice fix today when I went to my grandma's house to go visit with family and eat food that I haven't seen in 4 days. Adobo is good.
I would just go down and start posting my con report, but I wanted to say something: we are in our own culture. There are two examples of this, both happening on Sunday. The first example happened in the afternoon, when me, BSaphire, and a bunch of other people spotted a old man posting religious material. We didn't want him on the con site, so we tired to get him out of there, making sure that these kids aren't exposed to that kind of material. But, in the end we couldn't do anything, since I didn't hear from him after he disappeared into the hotel. Plus the convention site is tecnhically public property, so he's protected by 1st Amendment rights. I forgot who told me, but those people see us as someone who has fallen to the Devil's hand, all because we like to cosplay. You know what I mean. The second incident happened later that night, after I had ditched the Cosplay Contest to get some food on a Sunday night. I was crossing the street when a couple of college kids started to say things to me (and I was thinking they were from SJSU, since it's right down the street from the convention center). Either they were laughing at me or they were saying something about my costume. Odds are, they were laughing at me. I kept my composure, just waved, and nothing else happened. But still, these two elements show that we are in our own culture.
I'll be starting my con report in a day or so.

I already feel depressed.
I really had a great time at Fanime, and I wish the hotels made an exemption in the check-out rule. But we do all have lives outside of the anime community, and yes I do have work tomorrow (night though), so eventually I do have to go back home.
I wish I could stay for closing ceremonies and all that.
*sigh*

This is probably it...
I'm back in the hotel room earlier than expected. I feel tired after the Cosplay Contest. Despite the fact I've been hearing that this one was "weaker" than the ones in year's past, but I thought it was really good.
The Darkain.com photo-shoot was very good, and I have about 100+ pictures to go through, flip accordingly, and post tomorrow after I get situated at home. Thank god I have to close on Tuesday; that way, I can pass out and do everything Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning.
I did go to Yaoi Let's Make A Deal, and despite the fact this couple bought two tickets for me, no such luck. I also sat in the Ouran marathon room, and I find it funny that me sitting in the Ouran marathon room marked the first anime viewing room I've sat in for at least one episode, and no that doesn't count the H rooms.
This is probably it for me at Fanime; I might go back to the Dealer's Room for a bit for Monday, but odds are I will not be in uniform. Every picture that was taken will somehow get on the net.
I am out...seriously.

Sunday afternoon
I did my Darkain.com photo-shoot, attended the Ouran gathering, made a few more purchases via Charity Action, and now I am resting and I will heading out soon to the Cosplay Contest.
See you all in a few hours...

Out of the running...
At 6PM, the fate of my Prelim round was decided - I wasn't going to the Finals. But hey, I'm all good - it's my first Fanime, and now I know what to do next year - if I do it next year.
The B&W ball was alright, but I kind of skipped to go to my "save point" (aka the hotel room) to recover before going back to the Hold'em tables, the rave, and the 18+ rooms. However, I need to make sure that my Ouran uniform is spiffy enough for my first "official" paid-off photo-shoot courtesy of Darkain.com and the second Ouran gathering (in which I will confont Tamaki over control of the Host Club). I already had another photo-shoot happen today, and I'm waiting to ge the link so that I can send them and save them.
Time to go save...

Middle of Saturday
It's about 3:50PM, and I'm back in the hotel room. I'm currently resting up and re-arming. I also put down what I bought - the Haruhi box set (before ANYONE CAN BUY IT!!! BOO-YEAH!!!), the FanimeCon sword, a Bleach (legit) wallscroll, and a airsoft USP. The dealer that sold me the sword didn't have wall mounts, so I might buy one online when I get back.
Karaoke Contest. I thought I did good, but Ryann said that I "wasn't Top 10 material." Oh well, it was my first time anyways, and I had a kick out of performing, even if I don't make the Top 10. But if I do, you can see me perform "White Reflection" at 9.
Either than that, R&R and then back to the con.
