Dreaming in the Clouds
Friday was pretty hectic! On the way to the Crowne for Anime North I got a call in my cell about a room which randomly opened up in the Radisson! So of course we jumped right on that, woo-hoo top floor!
I called to cancel my reservation at the Crowne and off we went to the closest hotel possible~ We checked in at 3 and I ended up camping out in my hotel until about 5 or 6 and put on my Aoba cosplay, after which I ran around making deliveries. = A =; It was a lot warmer than I thought it would be. Eventually my Clear showed up and we got quite a few photos around the con... most of which have been eaten up and I have yet to see them despite handing out so many CosCards. OTL
Saturday started off bring and early, holy shit. We woke up at 6 and could NOT fall back to sleep. So I put on Howl with plenty of time to spare while my roomates were freaking out about their cosplay... Went to Cafe Delish with Senpai for the first time, it was a lot of fun and Taiga was our Maid. = u = Went back to change into impromptu Yosuke because both Phin and I were both supposed to cosplay Souji but I decided that I didn't mind playing second banana, besides it made for better pictures. We got stopped a lot for photos and hung out with the rest of our cosplay group who were cosplaying Kill la Kill as well as Hans from Frozen. Then we attended the Atlus shoot which was so.much.fun, seriously, meeting other fans was great. We tried to go to the indoor rave but it ended super early, spent most of the night hanging out with league friends.
Sunday started much later and we were mostly in a huge panic to get ready + pack + clean. We managed to SOMEHOW make the check-out time at noon. I snapped a few shots with my friends who were all cosplaying Dangan Ronpa and reprised Naegi one more time. Then I was lucky enough to get a ride hook-up and get a drive back home, unfortunately that meant leaving at 2 pm. ; n ;
It was a fun Anime North, the con felt vast and sprawling with the new lay-out and I couldn't help but feel that I missed out on a lot. It was hard to meet people. I saw facebook posts and such but unless I specifically planned to meet someone at a location (and even so a few plans fell through) it was nearly impossible. It felt like there were two conventions happening simultaneously and the other one was in another dimension. ; A ; I'm pretty happy with the amount of shoots and I definitely will plan my time more wisely~
My next event is the Centre Island picnic and my next convention is Con Bravo~
