Katsucon 2011

Another year, another Katsucon~

Your run down is now:

Friday: Overslept. By a lot. Ended up making a mad dash out the door and not arriving to the convention until 3:30PM or so. Put my stuff in the room & then registered. Spent the rest of the day waiting for my brother to arrive & wandered around the Artist’s Alley/Dealer’s room for a bit.

Speaking – Friday I said Hi to Erin from Tamuran – and he gave me the original artwork for his WaM Pair-a-Thon entry. Squee. Squee to the max. XD (The two post-cards were from KGJ. :D)

Katsucon Art

Prints from KGJ & Fanart from Erin

Oh, and Dinner was a Pot Bellies. Yum.

Saturday: Awoke bright and early (for me) around 8AM And headed off to places. My Bro and I went to the Hetalia International Relations panel, followed by the dealer’s room and…lunch in the room. (Our Room brought a LOT of food. We basically fed ourselves for three days and it was awesome. XD Name it and we probably had it – from Pocky to Summer Sausage and a certain roomie brought home made truffles. Yum.)

And then my Brother & I were going to go to an Evangelion panel, but we changed our mind and headed over to watch Summer Wars instead.

Summer Wars.

Just go buy it. It was a ridiculously good movie and I was choking up about to cry it was so good. And the dub was fantastic – Funimation pulled out all the stops. My brother and I bought the movie the second it was over and we could get to the Dealer’s room. I’d have a picture but my brother hijacked the DVD.

Instead – pics of the rest of my Katsucon Haul since I did all my shopping on Saturday. xD

Box from Eva

Okay, so the above box isnt’ something I bought. XD Miss Eva, a fan from WaM, found me in the Dealer’s room and gifted me with this hand-painted box. So sweet. Thank-you Miss Eva!!! :D

Now, toys:

Eva Charm

I won’t lie. I might be hunting down the rest of these charms on Ebay. They are ridiculously cute and I’m almost sad I only bought one. I seriously want the entire set of them. They’re tiny. They feature drink bottles/cans AND they somehow made all those angels preciously adorable. *pets her one keychain*

Misato in Pink

I think I can finally admit to myself that I have a super girl!crush on Misato Katsuragi from Evangelion. I have three figurines of her and that is the most figures I have of any one animated character. And worst? There are others I still want – this was just the one I bought at the con (I’m trying to limit my figure purchases. XD)

But I love her so. Fear my Misato collection:

MISATO

Yeah. She’s hot. I know it. And two should look familiar because they’ve been featured on this blog before. XD In fact, I bought the large on at the last Katsucon. XD

Doujinshi

Last but not least – I splurged on a few doujinshi. Can you believe I found a doujinshi that features Touji from Evangelion that’s well drawn? I know. Awesome find. An Ichigo/Ishida doujinshi that I’d read before and the last two are from S-CRY-D – I don’t see doujinshi from that series often so I figured I should grab them while I saw them. Yay!

Webcomics...

Last but not least, aside from my brother purchasing the Ensign Sue Must Die printed book, only two Webcomic Artists actually said hello when we stopped by their booth (you know, aside from Erin and Megami – who knew us XD) So I figured I’d post them here so I actually remember to go check out their strips when I get free time.

Today Nothing Happened & Final Arcanum

If you read them before me, let me know how they are. XD

Sunday: Sunday can be summed up by one word: EVANGELION.

My brother and I woke up at 6:30 AM to pack all of our things and get them out to our car in order to be able to make the 8AM showing of Evangelion: 2.22 You Can (NOT) Advance.

Worth it. Sooooo worth it. *noms on DVD not coming out until the end of March*

We left immediately afterwards to keep ourselves from spending money. XD

And then I read Batman Comics until I worked up the nerve to make this post.

Yeah; I’m that awesome. :D

Early Christmas – REBOOT

…I should be asleep. But I realized I’d been putting this off for a few days and decided I needed to do it now. XD

I…have no patience for Christmas presents. XD I already got my gift from my parents and my buddy Jay’ sent hers early…which is what this post is about:

Hello Kitty

Fear the Awesome

Ha ha. Just kidding. That’s a Hello Kitty Ty doll my Mom bought me yesterday as an early christmas gift. XD *snuggles Watermelon Hello Kitty*

But no, CageyJay got me these lovelies:

The Real Awesomes

That’s right. She got me freaking Glitch Bob and Hexadecimal figures. I think I had a mini freakout session when I opened the gift packaging. XD

You see, ‘Jay is awesome that way – she always remembers the most random facts. Such as I shipped these two like crazy back when I watched Reboot. Obsessively. So….yeah.

More pictures!

Bob and Hexadecimal

Here's Looking At You

Hexadecimal and Bob

And Back At You

Hex Tackles Bbo

Obligatory Tackle Shot

Alright. I’m done. I love toys. XD Thanks ‘Jay! *snuggles them*

Katsucon 16 – The Haul

Whoo hoo~ If you’ve been paying attention over at WaM – you know I’ve been at Katsucon 16 all weekend! Huzzah!

So here’s your report & it’s a long one!

Friday –

Arrived around one o’clock due to a late start and traffic. Got registered & caught up with my bro. We hit the dealer’s room before meeting up with the rest of our crew. Caught the end of the AMV’s and then got some grub. Around 9 my brother and I went to stand in line for the Formal Dance and had fun in the line game. (I got to Salute Cobra Commander in a suit! :D And he saluted back! *Squee*). Dance itself was a bust. Got a free hug from a girl in a very cute Lolita outfit but otherwise didn’t stay long b/c I ended up being a wallflower. Spent the rest of the night reading & Introducing Hetalia to my unsuspecting buddy KGJ (Cagey Jay). I think I killed her brain with that one.

Saturday –

More dealers room, more AMV’s and went to Artists’ Alley. Spent too much money. XD Later that evening we went to catch the AMV & Masquerade Awards.

The Awesome? Tiffany & her guy Anthony (My roomies for the Con & friends from college( won best upbeat Video!! :D It’s called Boom, Boom, BOOM! And features various anime. Go check it out – it’s awesome.

And her friend also got an award for costume (JournyMan’s award I believe. But Tiff ended up modeling. Good stuff.)

Spent Saturday night looking for food and watching more Hetalia. :D

Well, after a very long Photoshoot with the costume winners and myself & KGJ (We were cosplaying as Mordred and Wiglaf. Expect pics of that to show up over at WaM XD)

Sunday –

Slept in…packed up. Checked out after one more romp in the dealer’s room. Hurrah! :D Long drive home and then procrastination.

But here’s what you really care about:

The Haul

Below are all the big items. I also got a bunch of little bleach charms and stuff in a mixed bag but I didn’t feel like photographing all of those. XD
