I had a blast at Anime Central. Here's a brief recap of what I did.
- Stayed up late the night before working on my vest
- Got very little sleep
- Went grocery shopping IN FULL COSPLAY (So an alchemist and a homunculus walk into a Trader Joe's...)
- Listened to the FMAB soundtrack waaaaay too much
- Toured the exhibition hall
- Participated in the weirdest FMA photoshoot ever
- Ate overpriced food
- Randomly burst into song
- Took photos of impressive Pokemon cosplays
- Went to a panel on improv and made a friend of mine thoroughly uncomfortable
- Had to remove my boots midday Saturday because THEY FREAKIN' HURT (the floor was so cold, but I wasn't in as much pain)
- Got lost getting to the parking garage
- Got my picture taken a few times
- Walked around with a sign advertising $1.00 hugs
- Made $1.00 as a result of the sign
- Hung out at the Crunchyroll livestream with a guy dressed as Michael Jackson
- Participated in a contest and almost won
- Went to a panel all about anime cats
- Ran into my costume-less brother and his girlfriend a couple times
- Spent too much money on both FMAB box sets (but I got 'em!)
As you can see, I did a lot, but there were a few things that I didn't get a chance to do such as take more photos, go to more panels (many of the ones I wanted to go to took place at the same time as the photoshoots I attended), and meet the Otakuites that I knew were coming to ACen. Still it was a fulfilling long weekend, and I am very tired.
