*sigh* I'm trying to get my life in order, so I'm combining these two events.


Anyway, so , Halloween. I got Traffic Cone done *does a dance* and just in time for our curch's harvest festival, which I volunteer at every year. Since the character is a tow truck driver, I hung out in the parking lot with the trunk-or-treat peeps near my dad's tow truck.

Little kids either loved me or were terrified. Fortunately, there was more giggling than screaming.

One of the funniest things was Red from the local Red Robin showing up. I ran over, and we both threw our hands in the air in surprise and had this whole silent mascot conversation. His handler was in tears, she was laughing so hard. Then we had our picture taken together and he gave me rabbit ears. Anyway, a fun night. Onto the more improtant event: Aki-con.


I got to go to all three days of the con this year, but missed the first Half of Saturday because I had to take the SAT. *grumble*

I was a little surprised that Traffic Cone was so popular, but I hadn't been there five minutes before people were yelling "Traffic Safety Fox!" and clamoring to get my picture. It was pretty awesome.

Friday, I just kinda hung out. Saturday, I got to the con just in time to change into my Charden costume for our Black Cat group. I have decided that I never want 38 inch hair. That was annoying.

We entered the skit competition, video is up on Youtube. Didn't win cause our costumes weren't the best, but we got a standing ovation form the crowd, so I guess that's good.


Sunday, as soon as I arrived, I headed straight for the lolita Fashion show panel. Only six loli's showed up, but they were halarious on stage. I have some awesome pictures of them onstage that I will be uploading later. I also got some good ideas for a future Lolita fursuit project.

I had enough time to wander the dealer's den with a freind of mine (who was running around being a wildman with my camera) Bought a sweet clock and drooled over Steampunk and Lolita stuffs, but didn't buy anything else. Then I caught closing ceremonies and went home.

Put all together, this was actually the worst con I've been to. Not that I didn't have fun, but lotsa little thing's combined kinda made parts a downer. my biggest complaint is the badges, which were flimsy little things that you could hardly read. I usually give my name to people by having them look at my badge, but no body could read it because it was so small.

I was also kinda dissapointed by the lack of dances, but that's more of a furry con thing. Anime cons like their concerts better. Met a couple furs, got a cool t-shirt, and a gay guy stole my hat. (I'm still working on getting it back)

Onto the next con, Sakuracon '10.
