ACen, etc

Went to ACen! It was awesome. Lots of alumni were there!

The schedule went as follows:

Friday: People show up ~3pm, hang around, get into costumes, harass JAS kids, etc. GIORDANO'S at 7pm, followed by a role-playing game of Mountain Witch.

Saturday: Wake up late, hang out at the con, etc. Afternoon, Jono ran a game of Bliss Stage, which got pretty crazy, while I went to an Avatar photoshoot which was pretty awesome.

There were Avatar puppets!
Avatar Photoshoot

Turns out they've made a bunch of videos!

Saturday Evening was Masquerade (New plan this year: show up slightly late, just in time to catch the skits and still have a decent seat).


Due to technical difficulties, there was much dancing at the Masquerade, so we decided to skip the Soap Bubble (line with mega-long). Instead, we went caroling at the JAS room!

Sunday: Breakfast, final goodbyes and photos.
UCJAS alumni, UNITE!

All in all, it was great fun.

Awesome stuff:
- Cosplay was fun! People liked my Toph and Jono's Iroh. Group Cosplay is especially fun. Will try to do something similar next year!

Regrets:
- Not having enough time to just hang out and catch up with JAS and alumni who we see once a year. :( I think it would work better next year if we had all the role-playing in 1 big time slot with multiple games. As much fun as role-playing is, it's much more fun to just hang out.


More photos on Facebook and Flickr.


Oh! I made a fake Jono account on Facebook so that people can tag his photos appropriately. XD. It's for photo-tagging purposes only, so please do not abuse.

The puppets are both cool and a bit creepy!

I'll have to do some anime cons sometime. I do a good Asuma Sarutobi from Naruto when I grow out my facial hair...

I'm not going to make for Fanime this go around, but maybe I can plan for it next year.

Group cosplay is fun. And anime cons tend to be a little friendlier than gaming cons.

Too late, I already friended him on Facebook. You'll have to turn it into a real account now!

Old post is old, but we just got into Avatar and I just want to say KEEP THOSE COSTUMES SO I CAN BE YOUR KATARA SOMETIME. <3

I can only think of him being Zuko maybe, unless someone whiter better in the eps we've yet to see (halfway through Season 2) shows up. Or he does movie Sokka. XP

Sooo... Fanime? I wasn't going to go because the cosplay I originally had in mind would take too much time for this year but I could pop this one out in time I think. TELL ME IF I SHOULD START RUSHING OR NO.

Such dedication. XD No beard-wigs to go with the... wig... wig?

Well, Fanime would be a pretty spur-of-the-moment decision anyway. Maybe Halloween...? :3

Halloween's a Sunday this year. What havoc can we wreck beyond "Let's hang out!...with... friends...!"?

(Will definitely be a more fun and easy to wear costume at work than superhero spandex :3)

We could use an Aang... Image

I know my brother but he is in no shape or form to be Aang. :P Or anyone else on the show, really.

NORMAL adults?? >:O
