There goes another Animazement, and a really good one too! The convention may still be going, but we decided to leave before the doors actually closed this time. :silly:
I think my experience this year was much better than last year, with some pretty memorable highlights (in no particular order). :3
- Maid Café was nice, but I realized all too late that I have an aversion to green tea (thinking about becoming a maid next year, if only for the laughs).
- The pre-con dance party saw a resounding victory for Team Top Yaoi.
- I realized I am not very good singing in front of others. :blush:
- Took what seems like way more pictures than last year, and had more fun doing it.
- My cosplay was correctly identified by more people than not this year. :cheer:
- Got to see redshirt1 again (if only briefly), and ran into someone from work.
- Cosplay chess was once again better this year. :P
- I did not get to see KOTOKO perform or have her autograph anything, but absolutely loved her Q&A panel.
- The shamisen and taiko concert was absolutely stunning, and has helped cement my love for the taiko drum (I think I want to play it).
I did not get any figures again this year, and tried my best to focus on somewhat of different things from the Dealer’s Room. I did not remember all I spent, but ended up spending somewhere around $220.

That is basically the outline of what happened this year. I did get many more pictures this year, and think they were taken much better (the picture quality does vary, since they were taken on two devices. :3
I hope you enjoy this year’s photos as well. :laugh: http://s744.photobucket.com/user/Iron_Tager/library/Me/Animazement%202014
