Journal
Phew! What a whirlwind of a month it has been! And it all came together last Saturday. I'm both relieved and sad that it's all over.
Sorry I don't have many pretty pictures to decorate my entry with, so I'll try to keep it short and sweet.
A photo of me as Rin and my friend F in the morning. The picture was taken in bad lighting with my iPhone and there were randoms walking in front of the camera, but I thought it's funny so I'm putting it up anyway Firstly
so much thanks to everyone who visited our stall! We love seeing people walk around the convention with our little yellow fluffball Hibirds and mini-hats on people's heads, or our badges on their shirts and bags. This year, I must admit we're not as prepared as we could've been, but we'll try harder next year, so please look forward to visiting us again! We'll have more shiny new stuff
A big shout out to my Fairy Tail crew ... we did our first full dress rehearsal at the cosplay comp on stage, and I must say it was exhilarating. I was trying so hard not to crack up because like the audience, I was basically seeing the whole thing the first time, and you guys were awesome.
The Fairy Tail group on stage. I was the grumpy blue-haired one to the very left Thanks to Thomas Vo for the photo! Thanks to my lovely neighbour once again
itakoaya who was such wonderful company and kept stuffing us with food lol, thanks bb~. She looked so gorgeous in her Saber outfit too >3<
And many thanks to
SMASHcon and the SMASH! crew, who made this whole weekend so awesome. To
tom-nom-nom,
kimiko,
Sykugen, and the rest of the cool volunteers I met, it's been a whole new experience helping with the back end of things and it's great to see everyone so committed, and it was a success to be proud of ^_^
It was so great to see everyone else, especially the gorgeous cosplayers whom I haven't seen for AGES! The quality of cosplay has really gone up and seriously, I could not fault anyone's costumes, you all looked so amazing *_* Also the awesome other artists ... I wanted to chat with you guys so much more and check out your merch... The artist circle is getting better than ever! I was sad I couldn't visit the various areas of the con or talk to as many people as I would've liked, but I do hope to see you all soon when I'm not running around like a headless chicken lol.
Last but not least, thanks to
silverharmony,
ravient and
kawaiifortune, who kept giving me words of encouragement. I can't wait till the next time we meet!
And to finish it all off, just wanted to take a picture of the two purchases I DID manage to make (I wanted to buy so much more but no time!) - a cute little hair bow from my talented neighbour
itakoaya and a lovely pair of earrings from Nekochii~ You guys are just so lovely, and their stuff just keeps getting better ^.^
