I have returned!
Jul. 6th, 2004 03:09 pmSo I've come back from my four-day stint in Anaheim for Anime Expo. I'm very, very tired and much, much poorer. I did, however, fulfill my fangirlish dreams of meeting Crispin Freeman and Steven Blum (omg they like touched me when we took picturez!!!11!!1!). Additionally, my Wolf's Rain cast-signed poster is now almost complete (not that anyone cares).
Summary of weekend goes as follows:
Friday - Waited in long-arse line for 5 hours to register, 2 of them in the wrong line. I hate incompetent staffers. Stayed at Steve's and Angela's and decided to give my thirteen-year-old sister alchohol. Played about a hundred different kinds of pokers and lost all my pennies.
Saturday - Dressed AA up as Robin from Witch Hunter Robin. Trying to do her hair was a pain in the neck, but it mostly stayed up. Met up with Angela and Linda and went to a bunch of voice actor panels. Wendee Lee pointed out AA's costume and complimented it. Gathered autographs (Angela asked Justin to stay in line for Steven Blum, who wrote "Yo Angela, Where are you?" on her poster), went to another panel, and tried (successfully) tracking down Crispin Freeman for pictures/autographs/"do you remember us?" questions. I decided I hate loud fangirls, obnoxious fanboys, and more staffers. Went to an hour of AX Idol just for the hell of it. 'Twas amusing. Returned home with Angela.
Sunday - Went to more various panels, which included Crispin singing opera and showing us how Alucard would've sounded with a Romanian accent (wouldn't that have been just cool). Spent half an hour in the karoake room with Linda trying to see if we knew any of the same songs (but didn't). Was blinded by a dancing Man-Faye. Plunkered around on the hotel piano for a bit. I hate the ridiculously high air-conditioning. Went with Justin back to Steve and Angela where we all got slightly tipsy, set off fireworks in the parking lot, and sang karoake until almost 7am.
Monday - Dragged myself up at 10am for more autograph signing and Whose Line is it Anime (slightly lame). Ate lunch and went home. I hate the people who sued McDonald's so that we no longer have super-sized french fries.
That's all of my extravagently exciting life, folks. Yes, this is about as exciting as it gets. *Yawn*
I think I shall see King Arthur tomorrow. Ioan Gruffudd is TEH HOTNESS.
