Gen Con Overview at Meow Kung Pow Blog

Finally the long await Gen Con blog! Well, no one reads this so… Yeah… XD;

We got there pretty early, not much of a line to wait in to get our event badges unlike last year. Then we found out we couldn’t get into the Exhibit Hall, which is where all the stuff to buy is, until 10:00 AM so we had an hour to kill which we just waited around, watched other cosplayers etc. There was an Itachi, some guys from Final Fantasy or something, Ino, Chouji, Tsunade, Jiraya, Shizune, Sasuke, and uhh, prolly more. I didn’t get pics, sorry! They were kind of loud and noisy… Oh and I was there cosplayed as Saya! With cosplaying as Solomon!

So when it finally opened up, we began our quest for a certain shop we enjoyed last year, a guy brought a TON of Japanese manga and related anime books. He wasn’t there this year and it SUCKED. But they had plenty of anime stores. Not really anything Blood+ which was kind of disappointing but lot’s of other stuff.

This store had a lot of cute Pokemon plushies, I got some stuff there that you’ll see later in the journal.

The exhibit hall was very big and it took us quite awhile to get around the whole thing. Most of the shops were for card/online RPG gamers. So finding anime shops was a chore. Especially since I was in high heels, which uh, let me give you some advice, unless you’re a REALLY dedicated cosplayer, DO NOT WEAR HIGH HEELS AROUND A CONVENTION. My feet are like soooo dead right now.

Like I said, some anime stuff.

Pokemon was a common thing this year oddly enough.

So after a while of walking around, buying crap, feet hurting, we decided we were done. Since we went today, no anime related events were going on so we just went to the manga library thing for a little R&R.

I was really tired ^^’

So after that, we left. Overall, pretty okay, I can’t really call it fun lol, cept being Saya was pretty cool. Cosplaying as Blood+ is win. For sure. Now I can show you what I got!!
