lucathiaI'm finally back from AX and Vegas! X3; I've been away from my computer (and home!) for an entire week. I have so much email and other stuff to catch up on. I've skimmed my flist back to June 29-ish, all the way up until LJ wouldn't let me go back any further. 0_0;; I'm pretty sure that I managed to see all personal journal entries that I missed, but I wasn't able to do that for the communities I'm watching.
I'll be mass commenting later. X3; Feel free to point me to stuff I missed that you want me to see?
AX summary:
//Events I went to://
♥ S.K.I.N. concert (the line was too darn long. I was almost dying of thirst and ran around trying to find the slushie guy that was selling the slushies at an outrageous price to us poor dehydrated people. I've never listened to any of SKIN's songs before, so I wasn't very into the concert...which was so...short, compared to how long we had to wait! The effects were very pretty though, and I liked the angles the camera showed us on the big screen.)
♥ SOS Brigade (I learned...and didn't go line up until waaaaay later. And I wore long sleeves and a visor so that I wouldn't get sunburned. The Japanese seiyuu for Haruhi, Mikuru, and Yuki came, along with some of the American voice actors for the series. I liked the on-the-spot dubbing event. That was quite cool and it must have been really nerve-wracking! The singing by the seiyuu...that wasn't all that exciting...and their voices were really sharp. They showed the "Are you watching hentai?" clip by the voice actress of Eureka before the event...since she's the voice actress of Mikuru too. Johnny came too, in place of the voice actor of Kyon since he couldn't make it. The only reason I know who Johnny is is because of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
blahchiharu and her fangirling. =P He's so amusing! He did an on-the-spot dubbing with one Nagato's Japanese seiyuu but he had to do Kyon's part (not Itsuki's, who he dubs normally). It was hilarious because all he had to do was the 'reactions,' which was just a tiny little "eh" noise. At the end, everyone danced to Hare Hare Yukai, which was kind of scary since so much of the audience was doing it too. Johnny attempted, but he totally didn't know the dance. XD;)
♥ Chiaki Ishikawa's concert (singer from See Saw!) (This was probably my favorite out of the three main events I went to because I like her songs. ♥ She sang songs from .hack and other anime. Part of the song from Bokurano sounds like "anisong," she says, so she sang a line like that and now it's stuck in my head. I don't actually know what the actual lyrics is supposed to be for that song! Like all the rest of the concerts, hers was really short as well...only an hour long. T_T; The last song she sang was Obsession from .hack//sign.)
♥ Transformers movie (I was at the veeeery end of the line on Monday, so I didn't get in until AFTER the movie started. I missed a good chunk of the movie, I think. But anyway, I couldn't hear a lot of the dialogue because basically, the whole movie went like this: "I am Optimus Prime." "KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" Okay, maybe not "kya" but the crowd cheered a lot. It was a pretty amusing way to watch a movie. The movie itself I thought was pretty nice. Very, very action packed with lots of humor too.)
//General thoughts and other stuff://
♠ metdisutansu (darn, I didn't get a picture of us together!! Thank you so much for the fishie cake cutter. :D ), revenus (hee, people started cheering when you guys walked into the DGM gathering with your frilly pink aprons ♥), whitelilacs (I saw a glimpse of a Rikkai shirt on Monday and it turned out to be you. XD; Very happy I was able to talk to you and Yoshiko outside of the tenipuri gathering!), and yoshikochan (Your Yukimura hospital outfit looks so comfortable!! Very glad I was able to see it this time. :D )
♠ The Long Beach convention center makes for horrible navigation. There was no way to get to the front of the convention center except from outside. After exiting the dealer's room, the only way to get back to the Artist Alley was to go all the way around again from outside. My feet died on the very first day.
♠ Even though it makes the horrible navigation, LBCC is really, really pretty and there's lots of pretty spots for photoshoots.
♠ I missed both the AMVs and the Masquerade (we opted for food instead!). So can anyone point me towards their favorites?
♠ LA traffic is terrible. I was stuck in it for hours on Thursday, trying to get to my hotel.
♠ Lines, lines, and MORE LINES!!! My badge didn't come until Thursday and I didn't go pick up my 'badge holder' until Friday, which was really stupid of me since the line was crazy on Friday. T_T; The badge holder pickup was not very efficient.)
♠ I didn't get sick this time...but I did get sunburned on Sunday from my Eureka 7 photoshoot, despite how careful I was on the other days. 0_0;; Should've put on sunblock!!!
♠ I made it to both the Tenipuri gathering and the DGM gathering on Saturday (they were only an hour apart) so sadly, I was only able to stay in my Kirihara cosplay for an hour. There were two other Kirihara's though, so all's good. X3; I chatted a bit with the other Kirihara when I ran into her again in the Dealer's Room (with Momo!) until I ran off to chase after an Eureka, Renton, and Anemone cosplayers that I saw.
♠ I searched the entire Dealer's Room for Corda merchandise...I bought the Mio Colore artbook and that was all I found. 0_0; Don't know if there was other stuff. I ended up buying a lot of Pokemon plushies.
Pictures to come later. I don't have much photos of other people. My photos are mostly from my Eureka seveN cosplay this time around. We had a pretty long photoshoot on Sunday. :3;
