Bad Things that Happened to You (at the con)-2006 ed. :D

[Raydere]

- Radiant Silvergun = 9 lives per credit. I understand that there are people who want to try the game and that this game is hard, but I feel as if I could just BS my way through.  These days I like my games at the default settings (for scrolling shooters that's usually 3 lives and normal difficulty).
- Some level of odor, as expected.
- Only 1 game vendor in the Dealer's Room, and they charged $55 for New SMB! Trizeal for $70 isn't bad given that it's a Japanese release (I've paid $70 for DoDonPachi dai-ou-jou and $70-80 for Beatmania IIDX games) but $55 for an American DS game is not right.
- I missed the closing ceremony because it wasn't clearly announced.

[x]

Some dealer cursed out my bf because he offered him 2$ for some cellphone stickers, it was right when the room was closing on monday.

oh, and it was the big dealer right by the entrance with all the manga at 20% off.

My 2006 BAD Report:

Face is now messed up from Yaoi Pictionary

Oh well, there is always AX. This time, I won't plan to do anything.

What happened to your face at yaoi pictionary?

Okay. Put bluntly:

I was on the ground after I "German Suplexed" hugged one of the bishounen. Someone screamed bishie pile, and before I know it, one of the bishounen did a diving body splash on my face. Mind you I was wearing glasses.

Right now, my face as a visible red mark under the left eye and two scratchlike scars between my eyes. Good times. Good times.

[Leishu]

Gwah! I feel so bad about that!!

*the Suplexed one*

Forgive me? ;_;

[otakuapprentice]

damn. just damn. i hope you get better soon, Jyun.

Two things kinda sucked:
2) Wanted to go to Rick myers panel on Sunday night, but it got moved around or something, so I wasn't able to see it. LOSE!

I'll be posting my transcripts of the panels I attended to a new thread tomorrow after work; one of the panels I took notes for was the Ric Meyers panel.  I know it's not as good as actually getting to see it, but at least you'll have an idea of the material he covered.  ^_^;

[AMKestrel]

My cameras ran out of room to take cosplay pics of...i've taken over 250 pics on my digital camcorder and my digital camera could only take 10...and sadly I didn't had the other memory card with me...

Hm.  Given that we had free WiFi this year, and an Internet Lounge, I wonder if it would make sense for the staff to set up a computer in the Internet Lounge with a built-in flash card reader, so that people could upload their pictures to Flickr or other online photo sharing sites--that way, if their flash card gets full, they could upload their pictures to their online account, then empty their flashcard and go back to taking more photos.

Or would that just open up too many potential liability issues?

[ADORABLEAZN06]

i spend all of my money on figures

[ADORABLEAZN06]

but i like it anyways, the fim and video room is great..epecially the bleach marathon! so many people watched them, so exciting :D

[kam_islash]

Good:
-Met new people
-Got to talk to this girl i like from my school, got a little closer i think
-Made people happy with pocku

Bad:
1: Forgot my camera
2: And there was a winged elf
3: And a Nina Windia
4: 2 and 3 further compunded the badness of 1
5: No sleep
6: Started hallucinating and talking to random people
7: I look creepy when I dont shave or sleep or bathe.
8: Disorganized staff
9: Too many damned lolis...hardly any girls over teh age of 18, and none of them were single.  I mean im not likely to get brave enough to tell that person im in love with her, so I have to try and find someone else....
10: Hardly made any money from my massage business...BUT it did buy me a few hamburgers :)

Lesson learned: ALWAYS GET A HOTEL ROOM!
This has been very educational.

Oh and to the person who said she lost a pair of cat ears: Is that a Loveless reference?

[madmanlotar]

I lost my prescription glasses somewhere in the Hilton, other then that I had a blast!

lolis? look harder...i saw more girls over the age of 18 than girls under the age of 11.  Oh yeah loli specifically holds the age group of people under the age of 11.  For girls 12 to 18, there is a different word, forgot what it is.

yeah for cons, always get a room.  I stayed at a friends house 10 miles away.  Driving the freeway and getting parking every time we went in and out, kinda got annoying.

-Didn't get many pictures taken of me on Saturday. I worked really hard on my outfit too ;_;.

Could be worse. Only one person--in the entire two days total that I wore the outfit--took a picture of me.

Very very unhappy about that.

XD Yeah, I only had one pic taken of me too. Oh well. o_o; I don't normally like pics of me anyway unless I'm taking them. ^_^;;;

[kam_islash]

Ok maybe I meant jailbait....
Too many 15 year olds with the figures of 18 year olds.
Curse you McDonalds and your beef steroids!!!!

[IamTetsuo]

Too many guys dressed as girls at the dance!  Luckily most of them were easy to spot even drunk, but I'm sure at least one guy got a very, um, terrifying surprise.  :shock:

[ip136]

Uhm.. I didn't have a key card to my room and thought everyone was sleeping so I ended up sleeping in the hallway, waking up and knocking every few minutes in hopes someone would open the door.  :oops: Turns out I was knocking on the only room with no people in it b/c they were wandering the con floor. S'all good though for my b/f found me and lots of worried huggles ensued. =^_^= And things were right with the world again.

I'm 17 so that's not that big of a deal. Hah.

Minors: 1; Adults: 0

Naaaaa, are you the man with the baseball hat?

Bad list:

-Perverts following me around all day
-having a dress jacked from me by my friend and then him getting a Kwoon interview rather than me as I had discussed with the man earlier
-friends ditching me when I was taking a photo (I'm sorry, Lolo, I can't say no to them!  ;_;)
-Losing my badge sometimes on Saturday
-being stopped forever at the door to Der Cosplay (but I still love ya, kilt man!)

My good list runs on forever though, so having that few bad items?  Overall good.  : )  I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone responsibe for making this one of my favorite Fanimes.  Thank you to all the staff, rovers, nice Con Ops people, music-fest security, volunteers, website developers, guests, Tony (mad props to this guy), and of course all the attendees!  You guys all rock, let's keep up the good energy!

Bad:

I dropped my digital camera on Friday morning.  The lens was extended and could not close when I turn off the power.  I went to Kamera Korner located at 545 Meridian Avenue which is 10 minutes from the convention center.  The guy said it’s going to cost $160-$200 to replace the lens, and the guy didn’t mention extra $$$ for rush service.  Not worth repairing.  I chose to purchase a new camera.  I went to Office Depot and purchased the same model.  Fry’s didn’t sell my model because I just got the new camera two weeks ago.

I ate dinner at Johnny Rockets on Saturday afternoon.  A piece of tomato spilled on my cosplay pants.  I went home and washed the pants twice.  The stain was not entirely removed.

Sunday CLAMP gathering at 12:00 P.M. and FMA gathering at 12:30 P.M.  At 12:15, I rushed to a SoCal friend’s hotel room and changed.  When I arrived, I missed the Homonuclus group shot.  And very few cosplayers showed up at the CLAMP gathering early on.

Forgetting people I met last year and at other cons.  I was embarrassed.

Left part of my dinner under my chair at the masquerade during the so-called intermission.

Going back home several times during the con for various reasons.  I consider a hotel room next year.

Good:

FMA post-gathering gathering great turnout.  Went to Jack-In-The-Box to grab lunch, walked back to the convention center, and had fun chatting.

Met new people.  (I hope I remember them in future cons and anywhere else.)

Purchased the last Rozen Maiden art book, last Rozen Maiden pencil board, and last Bleach Hitsugaya plushie.
