this one is gonna suck because baby – i did very little at this con.
i even missed the cosplay. and its the first con i have gone to and watched NO anime!! WOO!
after i got inside i poked my head in a few theatres till i found the one playing jrock/pop music videos and i spent most of the day in there!!!! i left for a few mins when they put on this Otaku Unite doco, then again when they put on these AMVs made to DDR songs, but i came back and suffered through most of both because the dudes gave over control of the computer to me and this other girl and we went NUTS!
i was kind – Shining Collection live only got played twice, Spicy Marmalade live once, Wish Matrix PV once, Superdrive PV one and a half times (first time i saw it was at the con – WEE!), Konetsu BLOOD got played twice because it came on again when we had it on random for a bit and some gravi fans were in the room and sqiuealed, and another Kotani Kinya but i’m damned if i can remember what it was. so that was the brill DA family stuff.
but i got to see some Gackt ones i’d never seen all of, a few Utada Hikaru ones i hadnt seen. and LOADS of other stuff.
just before the guys gave me and the other girl control while it was still running on random they were offering to skip stuff but i think she was as well – but i was actually in tears because they had a clip of the guys from x-japan performing Forever Love at hide’s funeral. i felt like a tool for crying but i couldnt help it. it was more because the guys looked so upset that i started getting teary. so yeah the guy was saying we can skip along to other things and we both cried out ‘no leave this on!’ oh the fangirl shame!
my main complaint about the con was there was no where open to buy drinks or food and the sausage sizzle didnt start till late in the arvo. i nearly DIED! literally! and i begged waffles to buy me a drink when he went out to dinner because i needed something to drink down my medication with. i am on lots of drugs….well 2, but i also have to take panadol because one of my drugs is giving me headaches. >.< reset://0
reset0 rocked so hard!!!!!!!!!!!
me and the girl i spent the day with and another girl came in and watched the sound check because we had nothing else to do and no car to go anywhere. it was kind of entertaining because they would have little booboos but it was cool!
then the actual gig they were awesome! at first everyone sat up the back in comfy chairs far from the band but shawn begged the klids to come closer so the teenies came to the front and formed a dancing circle >.< and after a while i came and sat at the front but off to the side away from the go go dancers! HEE!!
i took loads of pictures and AS USUAL they are crud. i used the flash but still pics came out really dark. i have some great action poses of Andy if he wasnt pulling such dorky faces all the time!!! >.<
and hey – what a surprise. the gig spawned a whole new batch of Andy fangirls. its a beautiful thing! 😀
it was so cute – just as the second set started this random guy sat down beside me (i had marched without shame to the front to sit in the same spot as i did during the first set) and said ‘they’re a really good band arent they?’ in this amazed voice. of course i said yes. 🙂
but yeah – i wanted to add it was a really nice, intimate little gig. of the three gigs i have seen its definately been my fave. and not just because i was front row. hee.
btw – Shawn if you read this – your name causes confusion and bafflement. i was asked if you were a girl – like der. AND some moronic child after the gig outside said as she wandered past ‘and what is with that girl being called shawn’ – like a girl has never had the name shawn before. O.O
oh and to show i am as sad a fangirl as the rest of them – andy threw me a pick and i still have it…… *hangs head in utter shame*
non-con stuff – haha thats funny!
this in non-convention…not anything naughty! ^o^
so yeah – i caught the bus down which was a load of fun. messaged dad to call the hotel to let them know i might be late but i got there just on ten….after wandering around for a while going ‘where am i? what street is this’ total fluke i hit the right street man…dont know how i did it. so when i FINALLY found the rioght street, the hotel entrance (MAAAN) and got up to my room (6 flights of stairs because lift closes at 10, lugging a suitcaseAND i am sick, plus am out of practise – used to do it on a daily basis at Ashfield) i collapsed in my hotel room and messaged everyone. ^o^
went out after that to get food then came back and answered a few more text msgs and then because i was a brainiac and hadnt even brought a book to read – i had NOTHING to do so i went to sleep.
in the morning i went down and paid my bill for the weekend and then headed off to the uni. found the uni entrance and then wandered back the way i came to look for ANYWHERE that might be open so i could buy some juice or something to take my hundred and one tablets. >.< took a while - then i wandered back, found the venue and then camped out for an hour or so before the doors opened.....
skip con stuff becauise i;ve already covered the good stuff from it.
afterwards i attacjed Waffles for directions out of there because it was dark and after wandering through various buildings in the morning my sense of direction had gine phooey! Waffles said i could go with him and Sly and the folks they were with back to Civic. anyways when we got back there we were to an arcade place and while i never want to do it in public – i have now seen and want to try ParaPara-ing! IT LOOKS SO COOL!! even cooler than DDR!!! Waffles is very good – go Waffles!!!!
then bought food then went back to hotel and slept again. >.<
had to leave hotel at 10am so i checked out and wandered up to the bus thingy…no wonder i was lost on friday night – the place was where it was supposed to be on the map i had but the entrance is on a different street to what i thought so i got a bit mixed up. anyways – so i sat in the bus terminal for 3 HOURS till it was time to board the bus and go home. slept most of the way.
when i got hom this evening, mum had also been out all weekend and felt too lazy to cook. dad was refusing to go chinese because he didnt want to do two chinese dinners in a week because i have demanded we go chinese for my birthday – its the only thing i expect and want from parentals EVERY DAMN YEAR!! they make THE best food!
so i said FINE – we will have my chinese dinner a few days early! and off we went….maaaaaaan it was good! >.<
