Anime North Con: May 22-24-3
Anime Relations: Blood+, Naruto: Shippuuden
Sunday May 24, 2009:
We woke up a little earlier today since we had to prep our costume number 2 (Diva and Saya) and bring everything back to the car for checkout at 12pm. It took us yet again, 3 trips to the car to bring everything back. We went straight back to the dealers room to buy more things and my friend had to clear something up with a dealer she bought mangas at yesterday.
I had my share of fun at the dvd section - I purchased a total of 10 dvds; 8 complete series, 1 movie, and 1 only-season one because season two isn't released in dvd yet. The manager was awesome, we were talking for a long while about different anime and she was quite thrilled to hear we picked up some amazing things at her booth at the Toronto convention in March earlier this year. We also talked about a few anime that will be released in dvd in the fall and hopefully by Fan Expo, so I will definitely see her then! She gave me over 10% discount and a free 25$ plushie of anything I wanted - the lucky winner was Gaara in his Shippuuden attire =). My friend also made a few dvd purchases at the same place, was also given a discount and a free Dunny box with a mystery toy, I'm not sure what it is but I'll ask my friend when I see her tomorrow.
During the middle of my dvd shopping a couple of things happened – I was approached and asked “is that your real hair?” No… they apparently said it looked like real hair and kept staring at it lol. Second, I fell into the far depths of doom - a wardrobe malfunction!!! My wig was slowly but surely falling off my head XD. I had to find a corner and readjust my wigcap and set it back into place. It fell off again while we were walking back to the hotel, and when we reached the Renaissance to wait for the shuttle to take us back, I just took off my wig and put it on my Gaara plushie... he looked pretty cute =).
The drive to the convention centre was mean and demanding of my wig, as it was set in the back seat, it started rolling around when I drove. I also dropped my wig a few times, Friday once and Sunday twice, so it's in a sad and morbid state now lol. I'm completely exhausted from lack of sufficient sleep and food, but I'm feeling awesome and definitely looking forward to the next Anime Con =)
Next time: on to the main course! Steak and lobster anyone?
(me and my food relations... what can I say? I love food!)
