Conventions are MADE OF WIN

[keevacaereni]

I went to the London Expo this weekend!!! I went with two friends, we went down on Friday and stayed in a youth hostel. Apart from not getting much sleep, the trip was fantastic, especially waiting in line with all the cosplayers dressed up. There were some really amazing costumes, they must have taken ages. Mine was just a loli Alice in Wonderland, which didn't really take much effort, but I loved anyway.

I bought loads of stuff, and took lots of photos, which I'll post when they've been developed. I even joined the Caramelldansen conga line! Until my goggles fell off anyway. ^_^;;

Anyway, picspam of merchandise!

In unrelated news, I just got a call back from Diesel. I have a job interview!! Things are looking up!

These are my awesome steampunk goggles! They're plastic, but really cool. The dark glasses lift up so you can see through.



This is my manga portrait, done by one of the artists at the con. I love it so!



This is my plushie Al. Isn't he adorable? I couldn't get an Ed to go with him though, which was sad.



Oh yeah, signed by Gareth David Lloyd baby! Don't worry about the blob over my name, I'm just paranoid about the Internet. He was really nice and smiled at us. There was squeeing, let me tell you.



My awesome Yuki and Winry figures. XD Sorry about the state of my room, I only got back last night.



Ohh yeahh, Craig Charles baby! He was really nice too, he even said he liked my costume. :D My dad's gonna be sooo jealous.

I also got a hat and some cat ears, and a shitload of manga. I also got the second box set of Escaflowne, for £15!! Finally I can watch it all.

In conclusion, conventions are fantastic and everyone should go at least once. I'm going back next year. \o/
