First, I'd like to point out this was over a month ago. But I got back and had a deadline, then an exam, by which time, I'd totally forgotten about updating my journal. Though to be honest, I don't really remember much about the con.

On the first day, there wasn't a dealers' hall. So we arrived, ate a free cupcake. Oh gosh the cupcakes ended up EVERYWHERE. Some numbskull decided it was a good idea to smear them on banisters. Not fun for cosplayers. Not fun. And a huge waste of food. After spotting a couple of awesome cosplayers, we changed into our cosplays and came back to the con. I wore Yuan Ka-Fai from the first Tales of Symphonia game, though at some point, I procured a pirate hat from my friend dressed as Moretsu Space Pirates' Marika and much derping occured. We went to a cosplay panel, and TomSka's and then came the opening ceremony, in which we were told, 'No Gemu Babies'.

...Thanks to that guy, in 9 months time, there is bound to be one.

Day two was Saturday. I wore my half finished Zelos Wilder. I remember hitting the dealers' hall, having McDonalds, playing a lot of Taiko, Brawl and retro games, seeing some stuff on the main stage, eating at Yo Sushi, braiding the Zelos wig and spending the night hanging out in a hotel room.

Sunday, I completed my Tales weekend (they're the only game cosplays I own; don't judge) by wearing Lloyd. We played yet more Taiko, Brawl and retro games, got a free drink and made the journey back to Norwich.

As you can probably tell, it was a good time for a first year con but it wasn't amazing. The dealers hall wasn't the biggest, the parties were kinda dead and my friend spent most of her time comparing it to better cons she'd been to and wanting to sleep. But I am very much looking forward to London MCM Expo. And I'll post a journal of my plans soon.
