AWA Review

AWA was a lot of fun this year! ^-^ I met a lot of cool cosplayers and there were a lot of cool costumes! I could only go for 2 days since I had some unfinshed business to take care of on Friday. Anyways, I got up early to attend the con and meet my friend Aleathia(She was cosplaying as White Mage Yuna and I was Baralai) One thing that was different from last year was the registration line. If you didn't pre-register and didn't want to use your credit card, you got stuck in a long line. Anyways, after I got my pass(and getting some pictures taken) I entered the costume contest(which was a long process)and people decided to make things easier by grouping together. There were a lot of Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts cosplayers as well as Naruto but the most popular costumes were the Tetris group, a person dressed as a Pocky Box and the Wing Zero Gundam. Last year, the most popular item was the Naruto headband and this year it was the character mascot hats(which looked really cool) Anyways,the costume contest was a lot of fun, especially backstage. One cosplayer collided into Man-Chii and Morpheus and Trigun were dodging each others bullets(one was moving really fast and the other one was moving really slow)And late at night(if you're one of the partying types) they had a rave called Anime Sushi Cyberia and also a AMV Rave. Both were a lot of fun and you should definitely try it they have it there again!^-^ And before I left, I got authographs from Jennifer Sekiguchi(Mamimi from FLCL) Kari Wahlgren(Haruko from FLCL) Larissa Wolcott, and Fred Gallagher(Megatokyo)Overall, it's been a really fun weekend!^o^
