I should have some pictures up within the next few days (if I can get my computer to play nicely with the school's wireless network; classes start tomorrow), but I can at least offer a brief wrap-up.

I AM NOT DEMYX. FFS, people, Vexen and Demyx don't even LOOK remotely the same, and the former would utterly pwn the latter. The next person who calls me Demyx, dies.

Anyway, it was a small convention, but it wasn't too bad. I've been spoiled by Yaoicon, ACEN, Anime Boston, and the like, but this was definitely better than Animeland Wasabi was back in March. The Marriott was a much more suitable venue than the Sheraton was, but it was still pretty small for the volume of people packed into it. That said, the dealer room was well laid out (though had nothing particularly special on offer, save for some chocolate with bits of rock salt in them and Choco Banana Pocky), and there were some nice people in the artist's alley (though I ignore the girl who kept advertising for herself on the forums). I picked up a new Xigbar/Vexen badge commission and put in for another one that I should hopefully be getting in a few weeks.

Also, everyone loved =temporary-glitch's badges! People kept saying that she managed to make them look like me, which makes me LOL a lot. >3 Note to self, must order MOAR.

The Kingdom Hearts cosplay scene was pretty limited. There was a flight of Sorae, a herd of Roxii, a plague of Axel (well, four or five), a filth (apparently an actual term) of Demyx, a couple Saix, some Zexions, a Xemnas, a couple Xigbars (with unfortunate preferences for soggy little cunts named Demyx, someone kill me), a couple Marluxias, and one Larxene. I was the only Vexen, again. There were a bunch of FF cosplayers as well. I really wish I could pull together enough good cosplayers to form a Rocky Mountain KH group. TAT

We didn't really go to any panel events; we were mostly there for the cosplay and the markets. There were two KH photoshoots (both of which kinda blew) and one FMA one, which Niko enjoyed as Kimblee. So, on the whole, it was a fun experience, though I'm looking forward to Yaoicon in October and Anime Boston next April. Plus Niko and I are going to try to make it to Anime LA in early January.

Current cosplay to-do list, after I shed about 40 pounds, is:

- Organization Vexen (final version)
- Atlantean Vexen (formal robes)
- Halloween Town Vexen
- Apprentice Even
- Lexaeus
- Larxene
- Major General Olivier Armstrong (Fullmetal Alchemist)
