IT'S OTAKON, DUMMY
Aug. 2nd, 2010 01:29 pmSoooooo I'm back from Otakon. I've definitely been to worse and I've definitely been to better. I'd say "average" but that just sounds like "meh" which really isn't the case, it's more like "hmm, not bad" kind of good. I was pleased with it. Nothing super amazing happened (save for some hilarious incidents) and nothing terribly bad happened (minus, well... I'll get to that).
( ON TO THE DETAILS! )
So basic sum up: Con was pretty good, nothing really to squeal or complain about. But seriously many lessons were learned: Don't try to style a wig like that the day of the con. Don't try to wear potentially injury-inducing shoes for a long time without backup. Also, take off the week before and the day after the con--YOU NEED YOUR REST.
I'm definitely going to do Judith again. I know I could have done much better but I'm a pro at procrastination and decided to leave her to the last minute. Huge mistake. I'll probably do some touchups before next Otakon (like redoing the wig so it's done properly, and choosing a better color instead of highlighter blue) because I really REALLY want to nail this one.
Also, you may have noticed the lack of pictures in this post. Do not fear, for they will be in a separate post! We took well over 400 pictures (which is double the usual) and it might take a while to hand pick them + resize them all.
Well my next con is... Otakon next year. It's July 29~31, I HOPE SOME OF YOU MN PEOPLE CAN JOIN ME~ :D
