Ok,so Afest,after the whole fisco everything happening while working at Afest, like the lack of people we're suppose to have and whatnot.This became one of our best and worst of Afest we had thus far,for moving to another venue it's not so bad but granted remember when moving to a new venue things might not go as planned so things always happen.Since this happened, I was wonder what how A-kon going to handle moving the new venue which is the Hilton Anatole.This was never was told on here and said only in person about it and I thought it should be but now I figured it would be nice to let you guys know.When Quakecon happened back in July,2 friends of mine and I all went to see Quakecon on Saturday and scouted on how big the place is and I got to say.It's too freaking nice of a hotel to have A-kon in.Granted even if it was a asian theme hotel and that the hotel was big and all.I also counted about 5 bars.Outdoor was great and awesome to have photoshoots(more potential of crossover photoshoots as well as here) and I'm pretty sure you get the idea here.Of course,I still haven't fully scouted the other big things outside the convention as of yet.So moving on here's the whole recap in more short form rather the long ass one.
The short whole recap of the whole weekend:
Thursday - Got everything packed, cosplayed as Yosuke(on TRE to hotel),arrived at con started to start setuping and then around night I changed in Kyouhei/Black2.
Friday - Day 1 of hell while working,cosplayed Kyouhei most of the day and then Ruby for a short while, and worked the first night of the Rave/Dance.
Saturday - Day 2 of hell while working,cosplayed Black with my army of Oshawotts for the Pokemon Photoshoot,then changed in to Yosuke for last minute,Persona Photoshoot but it was worth it!...Oo which by the way guys ,there's was a Persona King's game after the Photoshoot,you can watch it here!~ Just a FYI the best part of the video is about halfway of the video. ->
www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ioWwC… <-*stares* Yes that's right,that PART actually happened.Moving on...Saturday became one of hardest days for me, is one:2 separate groups of friends came to see the con and 2: The small amount of time that I was able to hangout with them but still able to do it with that much time,at least A-kon gave me more time to hang out and see friends but at Afest I was being dragged everywhere and thus time means everything.Worked in more casual cosplay outfit while working at the 2nd Rave/Night Dance. Needless to say Saturday Afternoon was my favorite day!
Sunday - Day 3 of hell while working,had to get some swag for my friends in the dealer's room since they couldn't make it for the next day,cosplayed Kyouhei for the 2nd day of Photoshoot but moved time until like 1pm but this Photoshoot still had a great turn out.Oddly enough for Sunday being another "Saturday",since Afest was a 4 day weekend and 5 for some of you guys out there.The registration line wasn't long that I thought it was or it should be. Worked the last Rave/Dance in casual cosplay outfit once again and it was the BEST rave/dance I've heard but due to my friends in the Art Show told me it was bad since they were the floor below us.Hopefully things will get fixed next time!
Monday - Last day of hell while working,cosplayed as Black with the Oshawott army for the last day.Saying goodbye to the Persona group with the song nevermore playing.It was touching and all even though we were all in different cosplays at the time.After that,it is was brake stuff for the con since it was the last day of the con.After everything was empty in hotel,the con staff had a Afest afterparty,glad got to go it!That night,got to sleep with more hours then during the con itself!
Tuesday - Well,it was the day to go home and that's it!
Regardless of myself being tired and the con having problems,I still had fun to able to see old and new friends and able to be more active in the community out there!Finally,the last topic on here is plans for the future.As I see every other con from now and to A-kon are all in the air depending on what's all happening.I have peeps wanting me to go to Ikkicon and some wanting me to go to another one.As of right now,my only 2 plans of con I'm for sure to go to are A-kon and Afest since I work them both.As cosplay goes,I'll only have 2 Pokemon cosplays with me at a time.Yosuke is still there since it's still fairly new to have in my wardrobe of cosplay.The ones I'm planning but not set in stone for are a Final Fantasy cosplay,Fairy Tail cosplay,and Tales of cosplay.It all depends what's going to be up and whatnot.Anywho hope to you guys in the future!
