Bleed in Blue

And wow, getting even further behind as this is for LAST YEAR's AUSA which I didn't finish til like 2 months after THIS YEAR's con. XD Oops. Let's see how long it takes me to put up Katsucon's?

( AUSA 2015 )

I keep taking forever to do these con reports. x_x But this one will be short at least since I only went for one day. AUSA moved their date to Sept...which sucked. Because it made it way too close to Dragon Con which resulted in a lot of people deciding to go only one day or not at all and the PA group couldn't attend at all due to being a big weekend in Gettysburg and most of them work there so I didn't even have my usual roommates. So thus only going one day.

Annnd that was one of the shortest con reports I've ever done. XD Yet took me the longest to get out? Pfft. lol The rest of my photos are on my facebook over here: https://www.facebook.com/lyn.hargreaves/media_set?set=a.10151802292517954.1073741858.578667953&type=3

AnimeUSA aka Pandora con aka Kool Kon was awesome this year. ^_^ I had a blast and a big thank you to everyone who hung out with me and made it as awesome as it was.

There was some awkward stuff going on but ultimately no drama that I know of and the Pandora Hearts group on Sat seriously made my con. I love you guys. Now I just need to track you all down and exchange info. XD

Con report probably sometime tomorrow after I finally clean up the mess I made down here. >>;

Well I'm still waiting on some photos but I'm going to go ahead and do my con report before I start to forget things.

Friday was full of fabulous-ness as Mikage and Fai, Saturday was full of angst and pain as Asch and Rai, and Sunday was full of lots and lots of Weiss lulz XP All in all, a good con.

This is to all of my friends who keep cussing out the band, I really think you should read this message from the Con Chair that is posted on the website:

http://www.animeusa.org/letter-from-the-con-chair/

Especially this part:
"This is where communication failed. We regret that we did not inform the people in line about the situation clearly. At the time, we focused on making sure those in line were getting water and fresh air flow. We also focused on wrapping up the sound check in hopes of getting everyone into the main events hall faster and into better conditions. This has led to much speculation and rumors that the band was at fault for the delay. The truth is, it was not their fault. Communication and equipment errors from both sides led to the issues we had on Saturday night."

This is why I kept waiting to hear the full story before making any judgement calls. I am not being a fan in denial. I just wanted my facts straight. I enjoyed the show. It was worth the wait. I didn't even mind the wait. I was happy and in all honesty it was one of the best nights of my life so keep that in mind next time you decide to laugh over the "punching rumor" or whatever to my face.

OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!

*spazzes out*

I check my e-mail today and get an announcement from my AnimeUSA flyer.

VERSAILLES IS GOING TO BE AT ANIMEUSA THIS YEAR!!!

OMG!!! I could cry! I'm so happy!

So...uh, this may mean I might be changing some of my cosplay plans, just to warn people. Because I would totally have enough time from now and then to make a Versailles or Lariene costume so I kinda want to. But it would mean dropping something but I don't know what yet. I'll figure it out later.

I need to spazz out more now! I mean I thought after A-Kon that would be it and I'd never see them but for them to come to one of my local cons?!! ^____^

AUSA was awesome. Or at least I had a good time anyways. Even though I kept thinking I was back in time at Katsucon at some points. The con itself had a lot of issues but I had an awesome time due to the people I hung out with. ^_^

I didn't leave the con until about 5pm though 'cause Gabi was working on tech and had things to do til then. It was really weird being there at the end of a con. Never really done that before. Well, sorta for Otakon but that's different as there's still a lot of people around even at the very end.

But I'm pretty exhausted. Had very little sleep over the weekend and I barely ate anything at all (I think I might've even beaten some of my past lack-of-eating con records this time around XP). Costumes went well for the most part. Especially Saint Seiya which got a lot of attention this time around. ^_^ And even though I didn't get to do much for the Tsubasa cosplay stuff, it did get me all excited for future Tsubasa cosplay at Katsu. But yeah, more will come once I do my con report.

And of course the very first thing I did when I got home was download episode 1 of Tsubasa Tokyo Revelations! *_* Yes, the first episode is finally out! Though won't be getting episode 2 for another few months (noooo! and that's going to be the really violent part too I think~ So long to wait. -_-; )

But oh my god that was gorgeous! The animation is so nice and the music is soooo pretty! And it goes along with the manga exactly! ^_^ I'm so happy to finally see a decent Tsubasa anime! And omg, the famous "arm grab" scene was so well done. Wai~ (Especially the tone Namikawa uses for Fai there, I was like "woah!")

And wai, Kamui~ ^_^ Though weird hearing Light/Tamaki's voice coming out of his mouth. ^^;; Though score! The lining of the vampire capes is RED in the anime! That means I'm still accurate on my Subaru costume! Whoooo!

This seems to be the con where no one really knows what they're doing. lol Took me forever to figure out my own plans. But I think I have it figured out! (But this still has a chance of changing.)

I'm heading to con Thurs night with Jes (and hopefully Gabi if Jes agrees she can have car space) and staying in Dar's room for that night. Then switching over to Alyce's room Fri whenever they arrive.

Friday:
- Kanda - D.Gray-Man - wearing first unless people are doing DGM stuff at another time, I just figured this was the safest time to do it
- "X-mas" Cain - Count Cain/God Child - wearing for 2nd half of day, for cosplay budget panel, might enter hall, then maybe go to the Ball for a bit
- Ruthberg - AnimaMundi - late night, for the BL panel and possible photoshoot but thats all I'm wearing it for

Saturday:
- Fai - Tsubasa - might wear it for a bit in the morning so that I can be in more comfortable clothes for the doll meet at 1pm, or I might just wear regular clothes for a bit. *shrug* Hell, I could even wear Kanda again.
- Shaka - Saint Seiya - wearing it for however long Magenta and I feel like wearing the armor
- Tsubasa group will hopefully actually meet after the Masquerade 'cause Dani is in it and Alyce is helping Brittany during it. Though Sarah and I will probably be in costume before its over. So yeah, hopefully we'll all find each other and get at least some photos.

Sunday:
- Probably Cain again since its warm and comfy. Or possibly Fai but unlikely as I can barely see in that costume. ^^;
