Woo, I'm back from the con!!! I have to say it was a really fun trip, but also an exhausting one too! XD Because of that, I had to get a better night rest after I got back, which is why I wasn't able to post this sooner. XD

When I arrived at the con on Friday, it was actually pretty "deserted" with no cosplayers in sight, >_> so I actually thought we were at the wrong place. XDD But it turns out it was actually the right place after all, but I think it was the wet/rainy weather that could have something to do with it, and not to mention, it's a different location from last year. It was actually way more packed on Saturday out of all the days (I wonder why XD). But the large buildings in this area all looked so similar so it was really difficult finding the exhibit center. I almost felt scared to get out of the car when it seemed like hardly anyone was in cosplay there. XDD But when I started walking in it seemed like some people came in with full cosplay on, so I was relieved. XD

It felt so humid having a scarf on ever since I put it on, so that might have made me feeling a bit worn out and feeling like wanting to pass out most of the time. XDD But I think Kaito's outfit might just prove to be the perfect outfit for winter.. seriously.. But can you believe what happened?? I forgot my ice cream prop at home when we were already about halfway to the con!!! I was so focused on the costume itself and what necessities to bring for when I stay at the hotel, and trying to get there right when it opens, so the the idea of the prop just slipped out of my mind x_x. So I was SOOO upset when at the last minute I remembered about it (and of course it was too late to turn back for it X_X), so that just ruined my whole posing routine. XD But since I had no ice cream prop, most of my poses were just standing there.. plainly... looking pretty serious XD and maybe some peace signs occasionally just for the heck of it. XD I really planned to have an ice cream cone with light blue ice cream on top, so Kaito would be pretending to eat it happily. XD But I changed my expression to mostly serious when posing for photos, because Kaito doesn't have his beloved ice cream with him... XDD)

I also saw a lot of other vocaloid cosplayers there, more than I expected! ^^ Especially lots of Kaitos! XD Out of the 3 days there, I saw about a total of 3 Lens, 3 Rins, 4 Mikus, and about 6 Kaitos (most who were only seen briefly) XD but none of the other vocaloids though. XD However, I heard this one girl say that she was dressed as Meiko when she called me out as I passed by her. XD I was so glad that some people recognized my Kaito cosplay. XD I think I was unknown to the majority of people on Friday, except for a Len and Rin that ran up to hug me and ask for a picture together. XD

When the huge dealer room opened, I was trying my best to find if they had any vocaloid stuff, XD but I only saw the Rin, Len and Miku figma figure, another smaller Miku figure (not the nendoroid though , a Hachune Miku T-shirt, and some Miku CDs. ^^ I ended up buying the Miku figma figure (since I have no Miku stuff yet XD) and one of the Miku CDs (that killed my wallet though X_X XD). Some of the other stuff I bought were: a Vampire Knight keychain, a box of winter pocky (XD), 3 DVD box sets, a Allen & Lavi (D.Gray-Man) pencil board, a Hetalia and Perfume CD, and a very poseable Chun Li figure (Not only am I fan of Chun Li, but I knew this could also help me with the anatomy in my drawings also XDD).

I think after this whole con, I almost wished I had an Akaito with me (Yes, quite a random thought there XD). But it somehow also made me want to make plans for a Taito cosplay next year... <_< XD Yes, I know probably absolutely no one will know who I'm cosplyaing as, XD but at least then I could do more outrageous poses in some way.. if you know what I mean.. XD *wink*

I'll have some pics up of my costume as soon as I can and possibly some shots I took with the other vocaloid cosplayers also. ^^ But just be warned... you might need to prepare yourself... XDD
