So, uh, it's been a while?
Got back from Steven's Point's con on Monday but my laptop screen's been wonky and Photobucket and I got into an argument, so the journal update had to wait.
It's a good little con, well run with fun events, panels, and people. Nice work, guys.
Myself,
Mir-ka's boyfriend, and
Vest-Man left Friday for what we thought was about a 2 hour drive up. 3 hours later we were in Eau Claire, which was definitely the wrong way. Like, another 2 hours the wrong way. The whole roadtrip was epic fail, and Friday in general was moderate fail because of it.
Anyways, we finally made it and got into the hotel and wandered around getting our bearings for a while and that was about it.
Saturday was much less fail. I hit the Zombie Survival panel, Kingdom Hearts photoshoot (I was cosplaying my KH2 endgame Riku at the time,) part of the Daisho podcast with Travis Willingham (who the entire con seemed to have a giant crush on but I am rather unfamiliar with. I now know his favorite muppet is the Swedish Chef, though) and then participated in the swimsuit cosplay contest as swimsuit!Demyx. Wandered around and blew my hard-earned money (Christmas presents, a little Nightmare Before Christmas figure of Lock and Barrel, a tiny Batman figure of Robin, coffee pocky, and this print

TappyToeClaws's because I want to cosplay vampire!Riku) and then hit the cosplay contest, which was definitely quality. The entire group decided to go to Noodles for dinner (real food!) and then we hit the dance. Which was FANTASTIC.
Sunday was pretty laid-back, went to the Dr Horrible showing and definitely sang along, stopped by the vendor's room again and admired too-expensive super-pretty steampunk dresses, stopped by the end of the Daisho Show and went to the Vocaloid panel and learned all sorts of things I didn't know (like, wtf is Vocaloid anyways) and then we went home and didn't get lost this time!
And that is the story of my weekend. Here are pictures!
