Alright, so I went to GameCon this weekend and it was awsome! Well, there were actually several problems that weren't the fault of the people in charge of the con, but rather the hotel they were suppose to be holding it at. The Wydham pulled out at the last minute (and when I say "last minute" I mean last minute) and the Comfort Inn was cool enough to let them have it at their hotel on such short notice.

Friday, since they were still setting everything up, there wasn't much to do, it was mainly all of us in the dining area just chatting. Friday is also when I experienced my first attack from a creepy pedo dude. It freaked me out, but my mom said that as long as I'm with a large group of people, he's harmless. And she was right.

On Saturday, just before my friends showed up, I met this one guy who was cosplay Ichigo in hollow-Bankai form. We exchanged our love of BLEACH and the fact that we can't see s**t without our glasses, and that's when my friends showed up. The majority of the time most of them just complained about the lack of things to do at the con and stuff. We started to get hungry so we walked over to the River Market food court for something to eat, and then headed back. I found the Ichigo again and I just talked to him the rest of the time I was there. The Tekken tournament didn't start until 7, and even when it did, they didn't get to my match until 9! Yeah, I was seriously pissed. And it turns out that my first match was against a pro gamer, so yes, I did get my ass handed to me. I was cool with it though, he was nice about it and I was just extremely tired so I went home to go to bed.

On Sunday I was able to throw together a last minute Orihime cosplay since he was going to do his Ichigo cosplay again. I think I actually did pretty well considering that it was last minute (I'll post pictures soon). But Ichigo didn't arrive until much later than I did and pedo dude was roaming around in the con, so I asked this one guy we were talking to last night to keep me company until Josh (Ichigo) showed up. He was actually really cool about it. It was me, him, his friend until he had to go to his tournament, and some girls arrived to hang out with us later on, and then Ichigo showed up and that's when we decided we were actually really hungry. We ordered Chinese food from this one place and it was cool because they delievered straight to the hotel. We went into the dining area, ate and talked until the cosplay contest was about to start so we went to the front right next to the convention doors. Well, they still had to finish up some other tournament, so we sat there for another hour. I don't think it would've been much of a problem if we weren't completely ready at that moment...and the fact that there was a limited numer of couches and chairs in that area and there was a lot of people out there with us. When they finally started the cosplay contest, Ichigo got into the "sudden-death" finals with the Silent Hill nurse, but since her outfit was sex-appeal based in a room full of guys, she won. But, she did do a good costume though. Like I said, I'll have pictures up later.

I actually think it's kinda funny. I spent 35$ on a weekend past, and I think putting all the hours I was there together, the total amount of time I was at the Comfort Inn was a day, but the total amount of time I actually spent inside the convention center would add up to about an hour. The rest of the time I just sat in the lobby, hanging out with people. Totally worth it, though, in my opinion.
