So, here are photos from Megacon. If you see a pic of you that you don't want up here, just lemme know and I'll take it down for ya.
It all started bright and early (well, actually it was dark...) on Friday morning. After four hours of sleep, LordSerlis and I (eventually) got ready to go.
We met up with our friend Chris, who was driving the van that we would take to the con. It was a long and arduous journey, filled with rain, traffic, and trying desperately to be able to breathe in my costume. But we finally made it there, and met up with some of the coolest guys around: Jyou, Sufuma, and LastWarrior0! They were looking spiffy in One Piece costumes.
Then I joined in on the picture fun, also in my One Piece costume - yay for multi-state groups!
We even got busted by the Marines. But we managed to fight them off.
After the battle, we needed a break, so we busted out the candy cigarrettes. They were pretty yummy, except for the fact that mine ended up getting lipstick all over it.
We met up with another One Piece cosplayer for some photos...
... and then HATAKE HIROSHI arrived! Horray! Our One Piece Group was now complete!
This is the coolest picture ever:
Then we went to get food. There were quite alot of us.
After food, it was time to hang out and have a bit of hotel fun. Low ceilings and crowded elevators for the win! (note that SI is standing on tiptoe in the first pic, but Jyou isn't
)
We took some group pics by the elevators in the hotel, with some interesting results.
.....uhh. Yeah. This picture makes me laugh. It's basically a parody of all the yaoi fanservice pics out there. I love the ugys' expressions. XD
Photos!
Among the winnings are Sanji's cigarrettes, Zoro's swords, both of their wallets, a bunch of gift card-type-things, and a CD.
Eventually all the camera flashes drove us all insane.
On Saturday, it took us forever to get to the con. This is us waiting for the shuttle that never came.
LEFT TO RIGHT: Rasengan, LordSerlis, KisameGoesToCamp, and a friend of ours who isn't on the forums.
Hatake Hiroshi (left) and I (right) took lots of random pictures.
I'm glad I didn't get hurt at the con, since all the first aid stations did was provide a blunt object with which to knock yourself out. Talk about insufficient... not even a band-aid or anything.
This was my view of the costume contest.
After the contest, an epic battle was fought: Tranquility versus the Panda Man!
KisameGTC wanted to fight too. Tranquility was astounded.
Lots of crazy mix-ups happened that caused our friend Chris to turn into Shaniquah....
... and LordSerlis to turn into an alien!
3/4 of your VoK staff! We'll have to take another one in 07 with Mazzy, but this picture will always be an important piece of VoK History - as well as a personal favorite of mine.
The rave was fun, but I was sad since our Pennsylvanian friends had departed in order to return home early the next day.
Then, on Sunday Evening, we made our own way home:
The end.
Megacon this year was so totally AWESOME! If any of you can at all, I highly reccommend you come down to Orlando to visit this rockin' con. You'll have a great time and get to see alot of fellow VoKers as well!
Total members who were at the con: Tranquility, Rasengan, KisameGoesToCamp, ZethTheDarkNinjaDJ, LordSerlis, Segatakai Idaten, LastWarrior0, Sufuma, Uchiha Jyounochi, Hatake Hiroshi, and me.
BONUS: This is the story of what happens when Sanji decides to try his luck with the ladies of the Straw Hat Crew:
Girl Power! HOOAH!
