A tiny amount of the people there were. This main corridor was this packed for most of the con. (2004:08:20 17:47:11)
And people sat around drawing a lot. (2004:08:20 17:47:25)
A big scary Totoro in the dealers' room... (2004:08:22 12:39:35)
Surprising amounts of the karaoke weren't anime music at all, just J-pop (2004:08:20 20:30:23)
Fez dressed as Guu singing (2004:08:20 21:19:02)
But they got more people for the actual JungleWaItsumoHaleNochiGuu song itself (2004:08:20 21:22:42)
There were way more people randomly floor-cosplaying than I've ever seen before. (2004:08:20 21:29:59)
Naruto (2004:08:20 22:30:49)
Naruto (2004:08:20 22:31:16)
Now this girl was impressive. She brought a CDROM containing a specially subtitled song by an evil character in Mermaid Melody Peachy Peachy Pitch, and cosplayed (very well) as that character just for the karaoke. Unfortunately this is without flash and therefore blurry, as the picture on the screen doesn't show up with flash.(2004:08:20 22:41:16)
People kinda got up to dance. (2004:08:20 22:57:32)
The Mermaid Melody girl again. (2004:08:20 23:10:27)
Late at night people sit on people. (2004:08:21 00:56:00)
The same girl who did a baddie from Mermaid Melody last night did one of the good mermaids for the masquerade. She couldn't walk and had to be pushed around in a wheelchair! (2004:08:21 14:34:52)
Like this. (2004:08:21 14:40:35)
X-men, I think. (2004:08:21 14:40:46)
This Tsukasa was next to me in the queue, and a friendly bloke. (2004:08:21 14:45:24)
More impressive cosplay costumes. (2004:08:21 14:46:20)
A gun-toting priest, just like me! (2004:08:21 14:52:03)
With runes and kanji on her robe. (2004:08:21 14:53:00)
Aurora's Boy had told me on the forums that he'd be coming as Vash, so we arranged to meet up... it turned out we were next to each other in the queue! (2004:08:21 15:01:48)
There was some impressive homedrawn art around. (2004:08:21 15:11:12)
Karen won an award for this costume of some Final Fantasy Summon. (2004:08:21 15:11:48)
(2004:08:21 15:14:49)
A wonderful Hellsing group. (2004:08:21 15:18:31)
Fez as a butterfly. (2004:08:21 15:19:29)
SunKitten as Lina Inverse! (2004:08:21 19:57:01)
Another cute Selphie. If girls will insist on cosplaying my favourite FF8 character... (2004:08:22 14:59:19)
Eight cardboard boxes taped together (2004:08:15 16:51:35)
Eight cardboard boxes taped together with a sheet draped over them (2004:08:15 15:18:51)
...with the first strip of black tape around them... (2004:08:15 16:35:09)
Having a sheet carefully assembled around them (2004:08:17 00:41:13)
The nearly-finished article. (2004:08:17 01:15:05)
Me posing with my prop, although not in the rest of the costume (2004:08:17 01:17:32)
It sat quietly in the background during GamesEvening... (2004:08:17 23:04:10)
...and had to be partially disassembled to be folded up into the boot of SunKitten & MoonShadow's car (2004:08:18 23:44:02)
SunKitten doing some last-minute work on her costume whilst en route. I saved my last-minute work for the couple of hours before the masquerade. (2004:08:20 14:04:32)
