Anime Maritime Results

[eastofthemoon]

I went to Anime Maritime yesterday, and it was great! It was a smaller con, but it's not fair to compare it to Anime North which is the biggest anime convention in Canada. Also, this year was only a one day event, however, overall we're all ready planning to go again next year.

Also, what's great is that next year it's going to be a three day even and it takes place on July 1st, 2nd and 3rd (which is Canada weekend for us). So, Stu, Jon, my cousin and I can go up on a Saturday spend a night in the hotel then come back the next day. It's nice to have a con that's only a two hour drive from where I live. No worries of spending money on plane tickets.

There was also a Beatrice (from Umineko) cosplayer who was beyond thrilled that I knew who she was instantly. Apparently, no one had recognized her character before that. Stu and I chatted with her for a while, she seemed like a nice person. We even talk of the idea of her, Stu and I dressing up as Umineko characters next year so we can take photos and maybe do a skit or something. (And she was thrilled when I mentioned I had made a Battler plushie for my friend Jon.)

Also, I won't be online tonight since my cousin is still visiting, but I'll make sure to pop on again Monday for anyone that wants to chat to me. ^_~

Local cons are pretty fun. Even though they are often smaller, it's good to see that what you love is at least loved by another group close by. It's like... encourageing.

It is! I also got to meet the artist of Vampirates (a webcomic I read) however, she hasn't updated in a long time. I didn't bring that issue up with her, but I could tell she was thinking "Yeah...I haven't updated that in a long time. @_@"

Hey, once you get Namesake going, you could probably come as a guest artist. I know they had webcomic artists before as guests. XD
