A-Kon 18 Report

Arei

If you ever come to Texas… for the love of your sanity, don't come to A-Kon...

The only OP cosplay pic I took: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v321/otakurealm/A-Kon%2018/100_1815.jpg

is lazy I was happy to see a Franky and Robin though xDD

I saw only one good Luffy out of 20, one Shanks, 2 Zoros, 1 Sanji, 1 goth Nami (im serious o.o) and I saw a GREAT Ussop walking by JUST as the elevator doors were closing on me XPPP

Had a decent time, the con was almost as bad as last year, though atleast everything was on schedule this time, there was just hardly anything to do and it was all at the same time XPPPP I left early, I didnt want my miserableness to bother my friends, also I was going to set that stupid bed on fire, it was harder then a rock!!!

And my friend just called me saying they won tons of Bleach cards…. i hate her now xD she doesnt even like bleach

I put my cosplays in there but I take horrible pictures, and my vest makes me look so friggen fat (then I take it off and I look like I shed 15 pounds xD)

Oh it is too. Wait… isn't that an old photo?:blink: I'm sure I've seen him looking exactly like that in some old photos before. Wait... no... huh? I'm confused.

Cr4zy

I think it's just his same costume. Also for Hyper Dingo…..

captain usopp

don't we alrady have an A-con thread? and are you sure that's bushi. looks kind of young to me. and where is his alabasta coat he made?

mr_bushido

That's definitely me… And I took the coat off because I was being baked alive. Seriously, it was a freaking sauna!

Pics will be posted in my cosplay thread, once Neko sends me her massive collection of pics...

EDIT: And the con was EPIC!!! You were just hanging with the wrong ppl... <_<

captain usopp

you look so young there, though. damn it. I wanted to see your coat. pouts

CU starts bouncing up and down
yay, bushi is back! just waiting for the rest of the gang! I wanna know what happened! I want details, I want pictures! yay!

trying to live vicaresly though others because she couldn't go

mr_bushido

This should hold you over…

captain usopp

Is that a Naruto cosplay popping out of Bushido's back?

Crickeylynn

I thought A-kon was a lot of fun. Spent way too much money there. It was great meeting Bushi and Neko. Learned two things. Next year I will preregister, and I am definately staying at the adams mark instead of somewhere else. The crowds were very large (I am extremely claustrophobic in crowds), and I saw plenty of OP cosplayers. I wish I would haven't missed the OP Photoshoot. Neko has a lot of pictures though. I might post some of mine soon.

Deblas.. it does look like it!

@captain:

LOL!! Yeah, he doesn't look as ancient with the Zoro costume >:3

@mr_bushido:

If you want, I could upload them there myself…? Whichever, I don't care. I was thinking of starting a thread for this year's A-kon, just like the A-kon 17 thread for cosplay. But I guess it would be better to post just the OP pics in your thread..?

@mr_bushido:

EDIT: And the con was EPIC!!! You were just hanging with the wrong ppl… <_<

AMEN TO THAT!! Dude seriously, I had a really good time at this con, it was better than last year in some ways. Of course, I coulda done without the stupid drama of seeing my ex (not my exhusband) who happened to work at the Tea House….

But yes, I hung out with Bushido and Kyra most of the con, and met their friends who were all really cool people! And I got to hang with Ms Cricket which was lovely, she met one of my friends and we ate pizza together at the hotel.

I met a lot of interesting people, a few from this forum, some that may hopefully join after me telling them about it XD All in all, it was great to meet all of you!

I'd say that honestly, I have more fun being with friends rather than buying stuff and going to the events that are always crowded and have long lines... I just liked taking pictures and goofing off with friends. Oh and the parties. Oh man the parties were GREAT! I never thought I'd be in a gathering of drunken One Piece fans jamming out to OP music! I was like in some sort of heaven! It felt wonderful! That just made my night....

Other than that, working at the Exhibits table was boring as hell, but hey, it got me in for free and I got crash space so I'm not gonna complain.

Its funny because most of my money went to ~~Bushido~~ food and gas XD At least he treated me to dinner last night though <3 But I didn't mind, we somehow got lost in Dallas trying to get out of Downtown. It was a pain in the ass because for a while there I had no idea where we were. But I figured it out eventually ^^; And found a faster and easier way to get back to the con after getting some things that we needed, including dinner at Panda Express (good stuff~^^)

Pics coming soon btw~

@Deblas:

I spot a Kuu. XD

captain usopp

awsome. glad to hear some tales from the show.

this is what i would totally love. sure, it was cool to go check out a convention all by myself, but it would have totally been cooler with people who are as obsessed as I am. This is why I am so sad for being stuck up here.

and again, I stress, "did anyone go see the VGCat's booth. :3

I got to see Crickets cool finds. I heard she looked real cute in her kimono.
EDIT: cricket, looks beautiful in her kimono. "pretty cricky"

so were there any cool events?
lets hear about all the different cosplay. :)
(hope i don't sound pestering, just trying to start conversation)

betoman

So i was the Franky and i was really happy to see such a large one piece group

captain usopp

i knew that wasn't dingo. (at least i got that right) XD

mr_bushido

Who's this guy, again?

KamenRiderNeko

ahh! that picture! XDDD

I was in the corner, with the sexy Kyra in my lap and a bottle of sake XD

OMFG !!!!!!!!!!!! GOD I WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GONE I LOOK SO SLOPPY WITH BOOZE EVERYWHERE …...... THEN After this i was told i ran off into the night to make a fool out of myself throughout the kon. but this is at the point where people left the party because i was serenading my peeps with we are ............. or doing the lucky star dance.

mr_bushido

Ah, good times were had…

betoman

@mr_bushido:

Ah, good times were had…

Best i've had in a long time

Crickeylynn

here is one more pic of me, Neko and Bushido. Then it is off to bed.

@mr_bushido:

I spot a Kuu. XD

LoLx. Sneaky ninja skills+1 izzit? :3

KamenRiderNeko

Zomg Its Kuu!! <3

Ugh, I look horrible and fat in that pic >_>; But its a cute picture anyway ^^

Toshiya

Hate you Bushi T3T I'll get you at AX watch just you watch >.>;

Kyra

What up up yo?

That pic of Bushido and Neko and Cricket he looks like a pimp or something. Like he's too suave to give a damn.

PsychoticShapeshifter

I had funs, I met neko! Seriously, it was on my goal list. (I can't wait till neko posts the Kunai-rape :3 )

I wanted to do Luffy, but I forgot my hat, so I just followed/annoyed other one piece cosplayers.

Actually, I hope I didn't really annoy any one D:. If I did, I'm sorry for annoying you!

PS: Luffy got lap attention from Sephy :3

@Kyra:

Lol, I think he does that in most of his Zoro pictures. Its either a suave look or a seemingly intimidating one. O_o;

mr_bushido

You know my cosplay propensity all too well, my darling. Oh btw, when can J give me that tattoo?

@mr_bushido:

Not sure, just give him a call. XD

It could probably be pretty soon, he was saying he wants to touch up the ones on my wrist, so.. :x

Hello all.
I'm one of the Sanjis from A-kon (view image above) the day before A-kon my camera grew leg's and wondered off some where. So I was unable to get any pictures of the awesome One Piece group on Saturday and I was wondering if anyone here has posted the pictures some where. I have seen the pic's on this forum and I was wondering if there were any more. And to all toughs who recognize me, Hello again.

mr_bushido

Okay, here's pics from the One Piece photoshoot that aren't focused on just me (those are in my cosplay thread…)

I swear, I totally missed that One Piece photoshoot because I was eating food due to me being hungry at the wrong moment.

(Total Luffy moment btw. <3)

I got compliments at the con from con-goers saying I was the most accurate and friendliest Luffy at the con. :3

EDIT: The ONLY pic of Bushido and myself that I found so far. T_T

Lollll. My costume looks alot better in the pictures then it did up close, considering it was sloppily done. That photoshoot was fun, though. ^_^ Everyone did a great job.

mr_bushido

For some reason, the pic wasn't coming out right on your post…

EDIT: nevermind, now it is... wth

betoman

mr_bushido

@PsychoticShapeshifter: Sorry if I was mean to you… I was running on no sleep plus booze... >_<'

PsychoticShapeshifter

I dont recall if you were.

either way I was probably being pretty annoying, I usually am according to…. well every one.

Still, it was totally awesome meeting you and NEko :D

@Monkey:

I was just gonna say. That's such a happy mistake. ^_^ looks so cool.

Lol. I supposed I owe you an apology too for my lack of patience. I'm pretty sure I told you to shutup or get away from me a couple of times. x_x;

PsychoticShapeshifter

I don't even know if I saw you 0.0

Kyra

This post is deleted!

You did. I was cosplaying Tashigi. Lol.

KamenRiderNeko

BUSHIDO Where is that one pic of Zoro and Tashigi dueling? I went to great lengths to take that pic and make it as accurate as possible to the manga
T3T

But yes, this con was freaking amazing, looking forward to this next year and ONI CON this year!
