Costumes Everywhere....

Well, I made my first visit to A-KON. I'm working with a neighbor as a volunteer in the A/V department. Most of my first day was just walking around aimlessly while waiting on a call to go to a hall or room or something.

The big thing was that there were a crap load of people in costume there and I was very upset that I forgot my camera at home. The most common costume I saw was Vash The Stampede from the anime, Trigun.

There was a huge diversity of people at this convention. Different colors, sizes, & shapes. Everyone seem to be having a great time and I'm glad I didn't have much money for I would be dirt poor by the end of the day at the Vendor Hall.

The biggest highlight of Day 1 was going to the movie rooms. One room was having an Amateur Anime Music Video Contest and one of the best videos played was a crossover with Star Wars & Cowboy Bebop. It had very nice graphics added to the production. I didn't stay to the end for I promised to be home by a certain time, but it was fun.

Going back for day two Saturday and I will have pictures next time.
