First of all! OMG,FINALLY COSTUME AND THEORY ARE OUT OF THE WAY, ONLY STUDIO TO GO!

Ahem...

A few things to talk about.

AUCKLAND ARMAGEDDON 2009.

It was so much fun, seeing all of my friends again and making new ones.
On Saturday we (Jett and I) walked around in costume, just trying to find our way through the new venue. But not before an hour and a half wait in the line to get in there. Note to self = next time buy tickets online! I found the last 5 comics of Soulfire which I have been looking for, for about 4 years now. I also got 4 more Naruto mangas. 2 to go and I have finished my collection! Thats a landmark right there. I also found Selphiroth's stall! YAY CUTE PHONE CHARMS! I had to go back and buy more on Sunday. I met up with Jen, Jess, Alex and a few others for lunch and all round had a great day.

On Sunday I just dressed up as a random ninja and with Jett and Dani we did all those things that you can't do in costume. Like LAZOR STRIIIIIKKKE! I pwnd everyone! We also got my FMA dvds signed by Travis Willingham and I can't remember her name right now 'Lust'. Also, Greg Cipes, Olivia Hack, um, the voice of Goku and DANTE BASCO!!!!!!
We then followed him to the panel where we sat there grinning. HOT! I then caught up with Marika and her BF. Then the COSPLAY GAMES! It was so much fun to watch, and Jett and I took part in it as the Auckland team. We came 3rd equal and got free chocolate, so all round was pretty awesome.

And Monday! We had the Cosplay judging at 11, it wasn't the best room, but who cares, the cosplayers were FREAKING AWESOME! Jett and I entered as Makoto and Yasuhiro Gensou from the Samurai Duelers League. We then got out, had lunch, watched the eating contests and other stuff on the main stage, including the hilarious Michael Winslow (who commented on our awesome costumes after the show.) Then was the Main Stage Cosplay Competition where we had to get up in front of everyone and do our skit. It was awesome and nerve wracking at the same time. But as soon as we get up there we forget the audience and just go for it. After everyone was finished, the winnersd were announced. Several people got honourable mentions, including and , then was the prizes. The awesome won 'Best solo' and 'Best technical'. , and won 'Best group' and 'Best skit' and and I won 'Best in show'. Then the Melbourne winner was bought up and the winner of the 1st 'Trans-Tasman Cosplay Cup' was announced...

It was us...

Safe to say we got mobbed after that.

The weekend wouldn't have been nearly as good without all my firends and the people who came up to say hi.

I will hopefully have pictures and video up sometime soon, I will link them to you when I get through them all.
