Con Report!

Report is late due to internet PMSing after arriving home. All seems to be well now, however.

Anyway. It's a small one, but it's a report nonetheless. I don't have any pictures to show either, sorry! I did see FFT cosplayers though. They made me happy.

All in all Otakuthon '09 was great! I sold way, WAY more than last year, and met a bunch of super nice people (as well as a few from last year as well). I got to see the town with my peepz and generally had a GREAT time! I'm thinking of selling my extra stuff, ANYONE INTERESTED? I already have three keychains saved for people. xD

There was one thing that annoyed me though. THE ORGANIZATION OF THIS CON. NO. NO. NO. It was awful! Last year was so super speedy when it came to getting my table set up. This year I had to wait in line for an hour just in order to get my badge. I missed out on fourty minutes of setting up! I also still had keychains to put together. I would've done them earlier but there were issues with my hotel room and we couldn't get in. ANYWAY. I expect, that since not only do I buy my badge ahead of time, but since I'm someone who is also paying for an art table, that I should be able to set up the moment set up time is open! I don't want to stand in a crowd of a shit ton of people (which made me super dizzy by the way. I don't do well in crowds. IT SUCKED.) I also don't want to have to watch SIX PEOPLE cut in front of me when I've been waiting for an hour! It was AWFUL! The volunteers for this convention should NOT have been volunteers. They were favoring their friends and let them cut in line. I'm not talking one person every now and then. I'm talking huge groups all the fucking time. Kitty and our friend had to wait three hours. Granted that's a short time for buying registration that day (in comparison to larger cons), but it would of been shorter had people not been butting in line. I expect to see at least some logic in the art of lines...guess not!

Aside from the shitty organization (which is only going to be worse next year, I expect.), it was a grand old time! Yet again there was an amazing artist sitting next to me ( =yanimator )...oh well! Were I more focused on the social aspect of things I would have talked to him...but I was SO tired!

Long story short...I will for sure be going next year! It's a fun trip. And I get to see so many people.

PLUS. JAG. OMG. I MISS U ALREADY U FORGOT UR SHIRT HERE U SILLY GOOSE.

I'm always confused on how Conventions choose their volunteers owo; Even if they are volunteers, they still have to follow the rules =A= That sucked

Glad it was fun beside the organization >A>;
