ickaimpWE GOTS GLOMPED BY TWO KAITOU KIDS!!!!
... and glomped two Kaitou Kids too. ^______________^
Got to A-kon about noonish, Allie wandered off to volunteer and Mati and I met up with a group of Yu-Gi-Oh! cosplayers that she was doing art commisions for. So we went out to get food at the 'Plaza of America'.
Food okay.
Entertainment, excellent:
Final Fantasy VII - Turks on Ice.
There's an ice skating ring in the centre of the plaza where some small kids were getting lessons. Then the Turks decided to go ice skating around the edges. Rufus fell down, Rude was stotic, Tseng was a bit wobbily, Elena refused to let go of the rail and Reno showed off.
-I did sketches. ^________^
Then I realised that really didn't have anything to do, so I went to volunteer. And promptly got lost for 30-45 minutes trying to find the damn volunteer place because no one knew precisely where it was.
When I got there, I was informed that they did it that way on purpose, they didn't want people to know where it was. o_0;;
Then I got sent to reg, which was really the only accurate bit of information I got from "Volunteers Unlimited." *Growls* Am NOT at all amused by how they handled their volunteers. [/end rant]
So worked Reg until closing, stickering and laminating badges. Which was cool, cause I got to talk to Allie some, who had done the smart thing and just walked up to the busiest place and asked if they needed help. And promptly got put on staff. (which means she only needs to work 12 hours to earn her badge, while I have to work 16. The trade off is that she has more responsiblity. Also, staff adjusts time for not having been in the state on Thursday, Vol Unl does not. >P)
Also, this was right next to the broken/stopped escalator, so every time I looked up to see the costumes, I could see straight up any cosplayer wearing tiny little skirts. Whom there were a lot of. Sailor Pluto's undies were nice and white, as Kaito would say.
AND!!! Speaking of Kaito, I got to meet![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ytak, who does an awesome Kaitou Kid and fyliwionvilyaer who is very very cute as a lolita style Kaitou Kid. XD XD XD Fyliwionvilyaer is just so very cute. And tomorrow, she does a lolita style Hakuba! *Squeees* Ytak is very classy as the Kid. ^_____^
Hee hee. Kid. Hee.
Other highlights included a nicely swaying Captian Jack --who always knew where he could find the rum-- people playing catch with an L plushie and conversation about who would win in a battle between the Naruto and Bleach Cosplayers.
And now we're curled up in Mati's room, listening to it pour outside and eating chocolate.
Tomorrow, I'm dressing up as a hippy B.ops member, although we may wear cat ears simply cause we can. Ta!

Remember how I couldn't pick a pic to be drawn (of a fic) Yeah, I'm always a little embarassed when people tell me that. (If Fred (aka Piro of Megatokyo) remembered me, he would say that I told him that he didn't have to draw a little sketch for me but he insisted. Had to pick a person on the fly.) Anyway, if what we talked about doesn't work out, anything with Takagi would elicit squeals of delight.
