ayacon - a quick summary

I'll write more later but just wanted to say I've been away at Ayacon (anime convention) for the weekend and so didn't read most of LJ since last wednesday (I was off work on thursday as well so no internet).

It was an absolutely fantastic weekend. I got a bit down on Friday night and sunday night but the rest was so much fun that it totally didn't matter. :)

Things I did include:

- watching a lot of anime
- meeting interesting new people
- helping be security for a rock concert
- having a japanese rock band take photos of me (and others) on their mobile phones)
- getting proof that rock stars really do party with groupies after the show and sleep with them.

And despite the fact that three of those points all relate to one event ultimately they were very much once in a lifetime (or maybe a couple of times) type things whereas the anime isn't that shiny or exciting relatively. It was all fun though. Anime highlights include surfing mecha, Dokuro-Chan, more bloody than any tarantino film, "He is my master" - rich schoolboy hires classmates as maids and pervs a lot, and many others. I'll give full writeups of the good and the bad when I've time to write them up.

Ended up taking yesterday off work too. Mainly due to getting home at 6:00 in the morning (I left conventry at 4:30 as the post gig party broke up and napped for 30 minutes on the way home - I did park first).

It was awesome though...
