I have never ever ever went to a panel at Akon. I never know when anything is, it's HORRIFICALLY disorganized EVERY SINGLE YEAR, the only thing better about this last year is how they did pre-reg. THANK YOU GOD, whoever figured that out to tell them how to fix that is a messiah. It was soo awesome we got through pre-reg in like.. an hour and a half. Usually it takes about 4 hours to get through the line, so now that they've fixed that it's MUCH BETTER.
Arei, you're lucky you live in the area. Akon's just NOT worth the 4 and a half hour drive to come down for, the only reason I went this year was to be in my friend Kyra's epic One Piece group. As fun as the group was though, I don't think I'll try and do that again, we had a bad time getting everyone around for the time of the shoot they'd planned, ended up being about 2 hours late and some how..there was a One Piece shoot AT THE SAME TIME that NO ONE informed us about, we had no idea there was even gonna be one. Next time I hope someone organizes it, cause that SUCKED =_=; Both were going on at the SAME EXACT time, and I could only be in one, AND they were in the SAME GOD DAMN PLACE how unCANNY. I could only be in one as a time, sadly by the time we got done with Kyra's the other one was over as well. I just wish I'd known about it, or could of asked them to schedule it for a later time so I could of got dressed up in my Kidd cosplay for it ;__; Akon has such HORRIBLE scheduling dilima's, not to mention there is NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER enough interest in One Piece to get a group even CLOSE to assembled.
Okay, I've bitched enough about that XD And Omni, yeah xD I had a friend at Akon this last year who was a bitch the ENTIRE time we were there, I tried to ignore it but it got to a point I was about to tear their face off and I'm PRETTY sure they could tell they'd pushed me to that point. Not to mention I bought this specific persons ticket to be nice to them, helped them with their costume that my sis made, and this asshole didn't even appreciate it, even going so far as to breaking part of the sword not caring how much effort went into it. So the moral of this story is, My sis and I will be SOLO from now on. If someone invites us to cosplay with them, that's totally cool and I'm all for it, I'd totally cosplay with Charli, Neko, and Brandee in a HEART BEAT BABY!!! But as far as trying to beg and plead to get people to cosplay with us, it will NEVER happen again, I'll never buy anyones fucking badge EVER AGAIN, fuck you buy your own fucking badge. Ahem. XDD Not to mention in Akon in 2006 was a bitch as well xD But I did have soo much fun that year, there was a GREAT concert, but again, too much drama. Another reason I don't care to go back to Akon. I might go back in 2011 if you're going though, cause I'd totally not want to miss the chance to meet you girl!!!! <33333333333333 Especially if you were gonna cosplay One Piece, I don't even know what I'd be cosplaying One Piece wise by then xDDD
