Layout

The layout was good. The traders and signing area was big. Lot stuff to see and do and take pictures and stuff to buy but I’ll speak about traders. Ina moments. There were places to sit but because of the number of people there they went pretty quickly. Which is not a bad thing it…

Kitacon 2016

This time last week I was still at Kitacon 2016, held in Birmingham UK. It don't feel like it's been a week I was with friends, in cosplay and having a good weekend. But like most good things it was over way to quick. This years convention had been more stressful then most and almost led to me not going. Tickets were sold out for the 1000 people event in about 20mins. Getting a ticket wasn't as bad as getting a hotel room, thats when the stress began. (Back in January) In the past, the people that have booked a ticket for the convention got a discount code for a room at the hotel the event is held in for the weekend. But by the time we got the code all the rooms given to our event had sold out, causing us to get a hotel a fair distance away, (mine was a 10min walk each time to get back to and from the event.) Some friends even had further to go. Which wasn't good for those of us in cosplay >_< Also with it being Easter Holidays over here in the UK, there were alot of other events going on in the arena near to the hotel our event was running, So there were many "Muggles" around all giving us funny looks as they walked past. And on the Friday of the con we were warned to be careful as there was a protest on Anti-Islam being held at the Airport (Again really close to our hotel) and were advised not to go far in Cosplay and to be careful. So we had extra security. But anyway the rest of the weekend was fun, I cosplayed Shippuden Sakura, (as always) on the Friday and had five new additions to my photos as I had made some more smaller Katsuyu plushies. We popped out to have a small photo shoot and I had took my Akatsuki cloak that I hadn't worn since 2011. The weather was on our side and we got some (what I think) are amazing photos. Saturday, I wore my new cosplay, Hinata Huyuga. My friend and I had planned on doing a character swap, but due to her work shifts she didn't get Sakura done in time. I was going to lend her my cosplay as I was doing Hinata but due to the judging for the masquerade, watching the masquerade and most of us scattered across different hotels, we didn't get time to get any photos. I still did Hinata and gave her a test run. Im slowly starting to like myself in it but I have a few things I want to do before I wear her again. Sunday was Kayley Again from Quest for Camelot but like before due to the travelling to and from the hotel, and very little sleep I was starting to get tired and was only in it for a while, no photos this year I was going to attend the Kitacon ball but I felt so sick, with a migraine. I ended up going to see a Dragon Ball Z movie instead with friends and was just well enough to attend the last party. But apart from all the downsides I still had a good time, Someone actually knew I was Cosplaying Kayley this year which made me really happy and it is a little unknown movie thats not Anime or Disney. Thats about it for Kitacon this year, due to the stress from the start I wasn't sure what it was going to be like (and that fact it was much smaller compared to the previous cons) But im glad it was still a fun weekend away with friends and it was the first convention for some of my friends this year, so it was nice to have them around to experience it. Got a few new cosplays planned for the next few events I plan to go to so i'm looking forward to working on them soon ^_^

J-con 8 2015.

So this weekend I attended J-con 8, that was held in Derby UK. And had a great time, and got to show off another new cosplay. I arranged to meet friends at the Station for the 9:30am train, once we were all present and accounted for we were on our way. We got the train and was joined by another person also going to J-Con so he chatted with us, We also got chatting to a Furry that was going to a Birmingham furry meet, he had an amazing furry head. We arrived at Derby and took about a 10min walk to the venue where we were joined by fellow cosplayers that didn't know the way to the venue Once there we had to wait in one of the longest ques to get tickets, as we had missed the pre reg date. Luckily it was a nice (If not hot day.) We only had to wait an hr or so and we were in. Once in it was a little.. lacking compared to the last few years hardly any stalls but when stalls were there they had a decent amount of stuff covering a wide range of Anime and manga. We sat and watched the Lolita catwalk and masquared, that was massive this year, so many cosplays seemed to have a light up element to them but all so amazing. After that we had our traditional food at the local subway, and then headed back to the con and hung round for a while before deciding we had had enough and went to get the train home. For this convention I had made a new cosplay, Momma Sakura from the Boruto Movie that's not out yet XD. I have mixed feelings about the cosplay, some photos I like myself in it, and some others I don't. Im going to try and improve it better before I wear it again and hope I can like myself in it better. But on the whole I had a great day, was fun travailing with my friends, meeting up with others at the event and just having another day geeking out. The only down side I find is one day conventions are alot more tiring then a full weekend con. most likely because we have to cram everything into only a few hrs XD J-con also marks the end of Anime conventions for me for the year and it's been good. Made 4 new cosplays this year. Not 100% sure what im going to be work on for next year but some older one will be making an appearance, and I have a fun secret cosplay my friend and i have planned.
