Hey everyone! Wanted to give an update on my past weekend!

Ok, some friends of mine on here are aware that recently, I went to a convention this past weekend! The con was Megacon and a lot of crazy stuff happened this past weekend that was pretty fun but also a few “are you kidding me?!” Moments.

First thing was the con itself was a two hour drive, and when we arrived at the town the con was being held in, we got lost and soon arrived at a hotel that was actually the wrong hotel.

When we did arrive at our hotel, we found out they charged for valet parking which is the only option and it was $28 a night! Don’t get me wrong, the hotel itself was actually really nice and a good choice for our situation; but they nickel and dimed you for everything (they had an $8.00 waterbottle in the room!!!)

We arrived at the con just when it began and my newest cosplay Dark Magician Girl from the original Yu-Gi-Oh! Series was a major hit! I couldn’t believe how many people recognized the costume and stopped me for pictures every five minutes. It was actually really fun and I’m extremely happy that all the hard work finally paid off.

Day 2 was pretty busy and mainly involved a lot of shopping and panels. I ended up meeting with a friend who actually enjoys this stuff and we spent a good portion of that day together and as for day 3? It was mainly a last minute things to do type of day before I decided to get ready to go home.

I did manage to meet Rachel MacFarlane (she voices Hayley in American dad and is the sister of Seth MacFarlane) but this whole weekend I mainly got to spend some time with Todd Haberkorn. For those new to my tumblr, I met Haberkorn a few years ago at a small turned big con and his panels are always fun, and he even knows my name by now!

I gave him a belated birthday gift I made for him, a pair of hand painted shoes and a hand knitted blanket, and I also got him to sign an old monster high doll I had from my collecting days and got some awesome pics with him (he also had a contest on his birthday where we had to recreate an old headshot he did years ago and i won since i went ahead and cosplayed him, i brought the cosplay along to get a photo with him). What was also pretty fun was my friend challenged him to a round of Just Dance and I got to see how both of them went against each other. Todd won but it was still an awesome moment for my friend!

I did get to meet Charles Marinet who voices Mario and Luigi; but I only got one signature for my dad since we both play Skyrim and he charged a lot of money for one measly singnature.

Otherwise I scored some pretty good stuff for the con such as a few signatures, an awesome figure, and some funkos! The con gave us free comics, lunch boxes and some good shopping bags.

Anyway, here’s a few pictures from this past weekend! All credits to cosplayers in these photos!
