So I went to work for a vendor at the Edmonton con this weekend. My lover works for him every summer at different cons, but this is only the second time I worked for him (although, I think the first time I was working for his brother). Basically we unpack everything, sell it, and pack it all back up afterwards. I don't think I care much for all the packing and unpacking, but it was fun to sell the stuff to people who like it - finding people with your same interests~ I also made some good money - better than if I worked at Shoppers all 3 days... And, I also got my travel, hotel and food paid for~ So, I think it was worth it.

I bought a couple of doujinshi... 2 Azumanga Daioh and one Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya... they are all clean ^^ Haha~ I also bought a couple manga. I didn't spend much money, mainly because I didn't really get a chance to look around. Me and my lover (and fredericayang was there as well) sold our buttons... but I didn't sell that much this time. Oh well, at least I sold some!

Anyways, I took a couple photos of cosplays....


Our view from our hotel room... we had a nice hotel! It even had a kitchen and a balcony~

( More photos~~ )

Anyways, that's all... As always, I had more photos, but a lot of them didn't turn out well, due to the bad lighting. If you couldn't tell, we were in a parkade. So, the money I made working there, I'm saving up for Vancouver... I think we are planning to go in either September or October... and we are gonna spend a lot of time at Book Off!! So I gotta save up~ Haha~~

Okay, Day 2 and 3~! Even though this is a huuuge post, I need to make this quick~ I'm trying to pack as I write this. I'm going on another little trip to Manitoba (more specifically, Steinbach) to visit my grandparents and family~ I'm excited, because I always like going to visit them ^__^ Steinbach (and Winnipeg) are waaaay more relaxed then Calgary... ^^ Okay okay, I'm posting~~


Outside the convention center... the place was right next to the ocean!

( Day 2 and 3 )

And that wraps up Vancouver and Anime Evolution~ Vancouver was very pretty and felt so nice~! The ocean was awesome, and the place felt very relaxed~! The only bad thing about Vancouver were the creepy people. I have to admit, I feel safer walking downtown Calgary at night than I do in downtown Vancouver... ^^ Anyways, I will still do a post on the things I bought... I must go now and drop my luggage off at my parents house~~ I might take some pictures in Manitoba, we'll see ^^ So see you in a week~

Sorry, my bad... I know I've been avoiding posting here, because... .... I'm lazy. So yes, I have moved, and yes, I have taken pictures... but that's for another post ^^; Last weekend was Otafest (an anime convention in Calgary) and me and my lover had a table in the artist alley~ We made quite a bit, but since we showed up late both days, we missed out a little. It was pretty fun, and there were soooo many cosplays. Kind of unusual, but I didn't spend that much money this year. I bought a couple of pins and keychains from artist alley, and then bought a (cheap!) figure~ Hooray~ Anyways, I took lots of photos... of cosplayers...

( Cosplay photos... )


And, this was our table.... ^^ From left to right is fredericayang, me, my lover, and the general~


My stuff... And a little bit of fredericayang's stuff on the left... If you are interested in purchasing anything, you can take a look at my Flick here for prices and such... I still have some leftovers!

So anyways, we plan to attend some other cons, but we don't know for sure yet if we will be participating in any of the artist alleys yet.... ^^ We'll see.... Next time, I'll update about our new place~

WHOOOO~~ I AM BACK FROM CHICAGO! It was a week, eh? I actually got back yesterday, but since I was all gross from riding on the bus for so long, I just stayed over at my sister's house. I think I've had enough bus for the rest of my life!! It's nice if the bus isn't too full, then I can have a 2-seater all to myself, and lie down, but when the bus is packed, it's very hard to sleep. Next time, I'm taking the plane!!

Anyways... I GOT TO SEE HALCALI!! Not only see them in concert, but also meet them, get their autograph, take a picture with them and give them a gift~~! I was and still am sooooo happy that I got to meet them~~ They were both so cute and shiny!!


LOVE BEAM~~!
I'm in this photo, but I cut myself out (there is a full photo later in this post)... I'm kind of sad this photo isn't of better quality... But there they are, holding my picture and reenacting it~! HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!!

Please excuse how horrible most of the pictures turned out:

( On our way there.... )( Cosplay photos.... )( HALCALI and Peelander-Z )( Chicago... )
Next time I post, I'll put up photos of all the swag I got. Oh! Also, the signed CD~! Anyways, I'll be listening to Zig Zag Saturday Night on repeat for a while... thanks for taking the time to look at my photos, and read my ramblings ^__^ <3

Tomorrow, I need to start looking for a job... ^__^;
