Hello everyone. I'm planning to get my ass around some more blocks, nieghborhoods and all areas!
Anime Vegas is coming up the first weekend of September and guess who is going to be there? lol, yup, moi!
Famed and fantastic jrock band ALSDEAD will be playing. I've been wanting to see them preform since I first g=heard thier music. Since I missed them at texas' A-KON don't you dare think I will miss them when they are only a few hr drive away.
Unfortunately due to money issues at the moment (still poor from Anime Expo) I'm not sure if I'll be attending the whole convention, but Alsdead alone is worth the trip.
Check out more info on Anime Vegas here!

Planning more cosplays for Utah's Anime Banzai. Looks like I'll be doing a lot of cross playing, which will be my first time(s).
A lot of photo shoots, and possibly a change in hair color, after being black for so long...
Speaking of hair... famed jrock revolution has asked me to do hair stylisting tips/tatorial videos for them. I best be getting on that!
More to come later...
Ja ne!

My report of Ax09 (Anime Expo 2009)
This was my first year attending Ax09, and my first real convention outside of Anime Banzai (which sucks!) The turn out for this year's Anime Expo was over 44,000 people! I'd say about 70% were in costume.
Day 0 (July 1)
I wasn't able to attend Day 0, which is an entire day of just waiting in line to register
Day 1 (July 2)
My flight was delayed 2 hours. NEVER fly Delta. Not only was my flight delayed, but also over booked- just like all Delta flights that day. A few flights were even canceled.
When we finally made it to LA, we were charged an extra $90 because Koreans are dumbasses. That's right, dumbasses. And not to mention that from mine and my party's experiences in Korea town- They are all mean ass holes. If you don't speak Korean, you don't exist. Well hey, at least our country doesn't suck enough that we had to move to a 'little' version of it in another.
Let's just say that by the end of the trip, I totally over-drived and Grand Summoned that place. *Note: Never stay at Quality Inn located in Korea Town, LA*
Anyways! We made it to AX but by that time, we missed Battle of the Bands, and the convention was closing! We later found out that all the Adult events and parties have been moved to a Hotel down the street. At least I now know that for next year...
At least we were able to get drunk at the Airport.
I didn't cosplay at all this day. I wanted to be able to look at junk and walk around, so I just wore my Cyber Decadence outfit. I was still stopped a lot for photos, but no where near as much when I cosplayed.
Day 4 ended early due to stupid gay fucking pervert faggot Micheal Jackson's maggot filled ass hole being dead. I'm glad that fucker died. It did seem odd to have his memorial the same place that was filled with thousands of little kids though.
Anyways, Day 4 was more enjoyable because I was able to walk around and move :) I bought a new Alsdead, SuG, and a few jrock posters ^o^ Sadly, no where had Art Cube or any industrial/EBM cds. I'll have to try again next year, and bring a few hundred to devote to expanding my Jrock collection.
The convention wrapped up at 5pm, but people still cosplayed. There was even a mini rave where I was known as the girl who was louder than any PA system xD I started many chants, and guided the crowd to various spots- all with only my power lungs ^.^ I don't think very many people are louder than me.
Day 4 was spent drinking. Lex had her camel pack filled with 2 large bottles of wine, and I had a big bottle of Jim Beam. We got drunk at the con, and afterword trashed in Little Tokyo where we managed to find our way to.
After our adventures in Little Tokyo (which japanese are so much nicer than Koreans!) Vyle and I had to go stay with his friend so we could catch our 7am flight back home.

Day 2 (July 3)
I decided to wear my I-no cosplay outfit this day, and my cyber decadence outfit at night.
As soon as I arrived at the convention I was attacked my cameras. I seriously couldn't walk 5 feet without being stopped. And when you are stopped, you may be posing for one person, but as people see that you are already posing, they will run over and also begin taking pictures of you. So a group of 2 photographers can easily grow to 20 within 30 sec.
When I first got there, I was looking for Daisuke Ishiwataru. No one knew where or who he was! T_T Long story short, I wasn't able to see him, but did find his signing/panel line.
If you've never been to Expo, they do this stupid thing were you have to attend a panel (usually about 2 hours prior to a signing/ meet & greet) and at the panel, is were you purchase tickets that will later get you into the signing. If you don't have a ticket, you have to wait until all ticket holders have seen the guest and then you can wait in line with all the other non ticket holders.
I met many people who either couldn't find the panel, never heard of the panel, or couldn't even find the signing rooms. I would be mad, but I went ti Expo planning on seeing anything because this thing is so large, you would have to attend 3 years to catch on to how things work @__@
Day 2 was fun. I was the only I-no cosplayer that day, but did see a lot of Sol Badguy's, May's, and a few other Guilty Gear fans. The great part was that only very few people didn't know who I was. Every year I go to Anime Banzai, I encounter maybe... 2 (if lucky) people who know of GG.
I was able to meet Shion that day, though I didn't recognize him until I heard his voice xD
Day 2 was mostly spent walking a few feet and getting mauled, walk a few feet, get attacked, etc. Inside the dealer's room, I must've been in there 3 hours, but only got half way through it from being stopped every few feet.
That night, I was stupid and let my party convince me not to go to the Lolita Tea party, and go to the Rave instead (big mistake- always stick with original plans x_X). I changed my clothes and went back to the convention, where we found a HUGE line of people waiting to go to the Rave (this was one of the events held at the hotel down the street). We decided to take a cab, and were able to see the HUGE FF13 poster ads.
We got to the rave and I was able to get drunk :) But the rave room was small, and no one really knew how to dance. Oh well, that's another learning experience to improve next year n__n
The Final Fantasy 13 adds
Vyle vs Dalsim
Day 3 (July 4)
I think Day 3 was the best day of them all! Though it was July fourth, it had nothing to do with America or fireworks ^o^ I wore my I-no outfit again, but this time, as soon as I walked into the convention center there was a big group of other Guilty Gear people standing there. Again, I was the only I-no cosplayer, but there seemed to be more GG than the previous day.
Pretty much the same thing happened on day 3 as day 2, only Vyle wore his Nikki (Chrono Cross) cosplay so people wanted his picture too.
This was the day I met all the Jrockers and such. I met Auncia at their signing, and was able to get tix to the mini live with Satsuki and 2 other Idols :)
So, again, Day 3 was much like day 2. At night I wore my Jrock ogre outfit to the mini live. I met an awesome Hide cosplayer, his wife, Slut Face, Tomo, all the Jshoxx crue, and various other fantastic Jrockers! I also got the Auncia drum stick this night as well :)
I didn't get shit faced like I wanted, but there will always be next year :D
this pic was in LA weekly ^o^
Day 4
I didn't cosplay at all this day. I wanted to be able to look at junk and walk around, so I just wore my Cyber Decadence outfit. I was still stopped a lot for photos, but no where near as much when I cosplayed.

After our adventures in Little Tokyo (which japanese are so much nicer than Koreans!) Vyle and I had to go stay with his friend so we could catch our 7am flight back home.
I thought I'd be going crazy with all the Japanese Men around me, but only saw this sexy beast, and even then- he wasn't the best looking japanese guy I'd ever seen. Guess I'll have to go to more conventions to oggle at all the hotties ^.^
He didn't speak english, but I was able to talk to him a little bit (mostly saying sugio cuz I was drunk xD
Which now that I think about it- Noyz and I were drunk when we ran up to this guy. I bet we rank of booze and scarred him XDD
So what's in store for next year?
I'll be attending Anime Expo 2010 for sure! Not only did I promise all the jrockers and cosplayers I met that I would, but I plan to be cosplaying far better costumes.
I want to do a Dragon Ball Z one (either Gohan or Vegeta) just because I got sick of seeing so many awful plastic/felt wigs. I want to be a Super Sayian REAL hair!
I am also planning to do Miki (Chrono Cross) so Vyle and I can go as a pair.
Eventually, when I get massive hooters, I plan to do all the elite babes (Morgan, Felicia, Mai, Junko, etc) But I'll just have to wait and see if I got hooters by then or not...
Next year I am also hoping to make it to SakuraCon and Comic Con :)
