I don't even know how to start this journal. This convention was so different from any that I have been to before. I had a lot of fun. The convention staff worked so hard to make the event a success and their efforts paid off. All of the events were very fun things were running on schedule.
Everyone was extremely welcoming and twinfools and I felt right at home immediately-- like we were among good friends.

Friday, we cosplayed CardCaptor Sakura again. I don't remember much about this day lol The con started at 6 and we played some "ice breaker games", which were a lot of fun. Then watched the opening ceremonies and they were fantastic! After that, I think we just talked to a bunch of people then finished the night off, watching the concerts.  


An awesome Tin Tin cosplayer we met on Friday

Saturday, we were up early to get ready for our 10am panel. We cosplayed Bleach again, which Twin has been wanting to do for a long time. It was interesting being Orihime. I wanted to try cosplaying her at least once, since I do like her character, but Rukia definitely suits me more XD  Anyways, we did a Cosplay Groups panel, which is always a fun one to talk about. After that, we talked to more people then were interviewed for the local newspaper. Our next panel was at 2 and was CMVs. Luckily, the videos were able to play this time around (unlike at ALCon due to us using Macs lol)
Right after that, Twin and I judged the costume contest with two other people. There were so many AMAZING outfits! It was super difficult to narrow it down to 10 for the finals, but we had to. It was even more difficult picking the top 3 from the final 10!
We also had our live performance of the Black Butler Rap. Definitely a few things to work out if we ever do something like that again, but it was a good experience!
Saturday night, we had a really late dinner then called it a night since we had to be up early for another panel.

An awesome group of cosplayers. That Shiemi handpainted her kimono!

Sunday was the day that I remember most. We had our Skits panel, which went well. We were planning on bringing candy since it was so early and we wanted to thank everyone for dragging themselves out of bed, but the store was closed on Sunday D:

Right after the panel, there was an Anime quiz. Twin, our Danish friend, Nikita, myself and a fourth person (if you have DA, let me know!) formed a team. We called our team, "Takk Kylling", which means "Thank you Chicken". They were the only two words Twin and I could remember in Norwegian XD Amazingly, we won! lol
  
After the quiz, we had a quick lunch then did our final panel, which was a general Q&A. Directly after that was the Closing Ceremonies.

An amazing Alice in the Country of Hearts group!

The convention went by so quickly and it was sad to have to say goodbye to everyone! It was such an honour being there, though and I hope that Twin and I can return again some year!

I feel so honoured that I had the chance to meet you (I was the ANBU Tenzou/Yamato who asked you to sign a fan).
My friends and I have watched your skits ever since we started cosplaying, and you and your group have been a huge inspiration to us.
Thank you for giving me a chance to meet you and Twin~

I went to all of them, and they were just so very helpful and entertaining (the cats, man, THE CATS!)
