My first A-Kon ever. Wow, what a weekend! I got a hat, a Ryu-Oki bag, and a wall fan (I didn't even list half the things that happened) I met Emma Mae and she signed a CD that the people gave me for free because I had no money for it. Budo Grape hugged me and they also signed my fan. Versailles shook my hand. I now have new friends from A-Kon Icon. And I learned my first Para-Para. If you saw me, I was the Tifa with glasses. Next year I'm getting contacts for it, I need three pairs of different colors for my other cosplays. I never knew how much fun I had and how sad I was to see my new friends go. Next year we're getting rooms and we have a secret costume set planned, plus I'm going to be Meiling if I can get it done in time! I'm learning so much from this experiance. And, honestly, I can't wait to go back for more fun!
