Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well as many know, I went to Ai-Kon over the past weekend and I can guarantee to everyone that if you ever consider coming, it's well worth it! This year was the first year we've had Voice Actors come to the convention and we were able to snag Vic Mignogna who does voices on FullMetal Alchemist, DNAngel, and others. We also got Greg Ayres who does some voices on DNAngel, Saiyuki, and Beck.

Some people recorded the closing ceremonies in where Vic and Greg talked about their time with us at the convention so I decided to share it with you.

Trust me that Greg is funny when you see him jump for joy over being given an artwork of Ronald McDonald, the mascot of McDonald's, dressed as a Geisha.

I also have photos that I took while at the con and had to put them up here as well.

http://usera.imagecave.com/TDMG/Ai-Kon/IMG_0874.JPG My friend and I were easy to spot in the dark. I'm surprised we still aren't glowing from the amount of glow sticks we loaded on.
http://usera.imagecave.com/TDMG/Ai-Kon/IMG_0875.JPG Greg just HAD to pose with us girls of glowy stuff! He asked if he could get his picture with us.

http://usera.imagecave.com/TDMG/Ai-Kon/IMG_0881.JPG My doll tried to kill me for poking fun at him. I hope he hasn't tried killing my friend who took him back to her place to restring him.

I was the Lulu from Final Fantasy X in some of the pics that I have on there and I can guarantee that the costume was a freakin' sauna! My boyfriend was the Tidus that posed in one of the pic with me.

And because this was just plain funny, I give you a cosplay that two of my friends did from last year's Ai-Kon. Wrath and Envy summoned up Hamtaro!

Awww. thanks! My boyfriend actually cosplayed as Mai Valentine from Yugioh and entered into the cosplay contest in that costume. He won for doing something rare and having the guts to get up on stage in front of everyone in five inch stiletto heeled hooker boots.

You know that you've made an impression when you get an honorable mention by the cosplay executive and get the chorus of screams that my boyfriend got.

And well because I like what Rikku said during her monologue. I was one of the five that have played Final Fantasy IX that cheered for Eiko.

All I can say about going to a con is make sure you have some great friends coming along with you. You meet a lot of fun people when you go, but having other people you know is also great. I was with the Dollfie group because we're all insane and anyone who knows how much it costs for just one of these resin babies, would think we're nuts for buying more than one.

Although I only have my one boy, I need more monies to get my next boy.
