So, I once again lack awesome things to talk about. Because no one really wants to hear me complain about 3D any more.

But yea, I went to Zenkaikon last weekend. It was... quite fun! Even if my friends and I didn't even get into the con center on Saturday. But pretty much my experiences can be summed up as follows:

We got to King of Prussia at like 9 AM. The line was hella huge and I was a sillywilly who thought Oh, it was so small last year! I totally don't need to pre-reg this time! That was not the case. We waited for a good 2 hours until people came out and were like "Sorry, guys, we're all sold out of Saturday passes." But we stayed in line for another 45 minutes because they would allow people to register for Sunday.

While waiting in that portion of the line, another guy came out and was like, "Hey, guys..." So I went, "Oh wow, he sounds fami--- dear god that's Johnny Yong Bosch." So yea. Unfortunately, I didn't have anything for him to sign (;3; And I was too much of a chickenface to tell him how much I loved him as Kuhn).

Once 11:45 hit and we had moved very little since the "SURPRISE WE'RE SOLD OUT" announcement, my friends and I were kind of like, "Oh, okay, it's almost time for the photoshoot. We're gone." So we went to that.

We got banned from having the photoshoot on this one patch of grass. I don't know why. Some security guard came out and told us we couldn't. I guess it was too close to all these parked cars? So we migrated. At first, they went inside, which left those of us without badges to go "Fffff," but everyone eventually came back outside and we had the photoshoot by the sign for the hotel complex. By the highway. Yeeeaaaa. But, the photoshoot was really fun! And our sunflower cupcakes went over pretty well! And ~kamai gave me a cupcake that was so cute you guys have no idea. I have a picture of it.

After that, we all went our seperate ways. Somehow, those of us who couldn't get in on Saturday decided, "Hey, let's go to the King of Prussia mall!" There were enough of us that it wasn't awkward, so it worked. Getting there was quite an adventure, though! We got blocked by a chain-link fence and a field of thorns, waited at the wrong bus stop, apparently, for an hour, but we eventually made it! And all we really did in the mall was go to the foodcourt to eat, so it's not like much happened.

Sunday... well, my friends and I actually got in! And we just wandered and got some stuff (including BEANDOG which was popular with everyone we chilled with for the rest of the day). And I can't help but think I am cursed to have bad timing skills forever. Right after we came out of lunch, we ran into a huge group and the one America was like, "GUYS LET'S GO TO HAMBURGER STREET," so we went, "Oh, okay," and we all ventured outside... and had a picnic. Even if I didn't eat anything, it was pretty fun!

After that, a bunch of us went inside and stayed in this one hallway for pretty much the rest of the time. And on our way home, my friends and I stopped at the ANGRY WENDY'S. No, really.

As always, photos are here: [link] Though, I must warn you... if you're looking for stuff beyond Hetalia, you're likely to be very disappointed. Especially Saturday, considering all I have is stuff from the photoshoot.

Next up! I... am not sure. Possibly Setsucon? The problem with that is the 3 hour drive. If not there, maybe Katsucon. Okay, that's enough nerdiness for one day. Move along, guys.
