Sooo. This year was my first time going to NYAF. I can't say much for the programming and such, since I'm used to Otakon which is such a large scale, but nevertheless I had an awesome time hanging out all weekend with and , especially when we were all cosplaying together.

It was fun getting to meet lots of new people, since ~bluucircles knows everyone in the world ; all of who were fun and crazy. It was especially nice meeting and hanging out with , and , and seeing (even if it was only for a short period of time!) It was great hanging out with old and new friends, so I can't wait for more conventions to hopefully hang out again

FRIDAY I was wearing my new Setsuna costume, his S2 Celestial Being uniform. I really like the design for those uniforms and it was surprisingly easy to make and turned out nicely, so I'm going to have a proper photoshoot soon ^__^ I was tackle-glomped before even getting to the con, lmao. >.> But despite the fact that the CREATOR OF GUNDAM was at NYAF this year, every time I'm in any Gundam cosplay, I feel like hardly anyone know what it is, even though 00 is still new-ish and still airing in America. It just makes me a bit sad that more people don't enjoy it! OK! Enough of me praising Gundam, which is one of my strongest Fandoms Pictures soon, I promise!

SATURDAY got off to a bit of a late start, but we managed to have just as much, if not more, fun preparing for the con as being there. We went in our Ashford uniforms from Code Geass. myself as Lelouch, ~skei as Gino, and ~bluucircles as Suzaku. Even though I made this costume months ago, this was the first time I've worn it to a con, and even more exciting is the fact that me and my friends were all cosplaying together ^____^

SUNDAY we wore our Ashford uniforms again, and ~Sky-too-high was nice enough to do a thorough photoshoot with us! We had a lot of fun and there were some really amazing shots, so I'm excited to see the photos from that. For part of the day we wore our "butt hats", erm, I mean "heart hats" from that one silly episode of Geass. I love them because they are ridiculous and hilarious, and it seemed everyone else loved them too I had my hat stolen like four times T__T Thanks to ~bluucircles for making them! I unfortunately left my hat in a bathroom stall in Penn Station when I was changing out of costume to catch the bus home T__T Luckily ~bluucircles is willing to make me a new one, so we can continue with our silly antics!

Sadly the convention was over, and I had to come back to school for classes. Boo. Totally not in the mood now.

SO! I'm happy to have been able to hang out with all the people I did! One of the best parts of cons is seeing friends and meeting new ones

I'm really hoping to get to go to Anime Boston this upcoming year, and debut a costume or two (better get working now!) So, hopefully plans for that will see through ^__^;

P.S. I bought the CUTEST, GREATEST Gundam 00 art book, that has Yun Kouga's character design in it and the cutest illustrations of the Meisters EVER. Considering this is the ONLY thing I bought all weekend, besides food, I am rather happy and excited
