Day 3: Happy Independance Day everyone! I hope you all had a great time celebrating. Actually, I had kind of a stressing start, not gunna lie. Because I wanted to cosplay my Zidane. I mean, I had these way ubber awesome swords! Plus I wanted to be there to help break our Guinness World-Record attempt for most video-game cosplayers gathered together at one time. So, I did not go with the rest of the group to the Host Club gathering that we've been pulling all-nighters attempting to finish. Not like I really finished mine anyway, but they said there were over 50 people gathered for that... Oh well... the record also wasn't broken because we needed 2 notaries and only one was there. It was still fun. Someone started singing "Still Alive" during the 15 minuet stand-still. Too bad it was un-official. Maybe they'll do it next year.
There was a way awesome Power Rangers panel, where they gathered the original Rangers and about 20 other people from the show for this con. I had to cut out early, though, to see the Funimation panel, because I wanted to be there for any new licensing announcements. But then I cut out of that early because of the AX Idol fianls. Kyle Hebert was hosting this year, so I wanted to be there cuz he's a cool guy. Remember when I had that one guy a few Aprils ago call Sam at home? Yeah, that guy. Once again, all the singers were great, but I wasn't to thrilled with the lack of variety in the pick of the final 5. They mostly all sang Gurren Laggan theme songs. The Voice Acting, on the other hand, was great.
Next, I went the the Otaku Parliamentary Debate finals. I missed the prelims, but made it in time to catch the tale-end of the semi-final rounds. It's just like any other Parliamentary debate, where they had to follow the same procedures and everything, except it's over anime-themes. While we were waiting for the finals they help a few fun mock trials. I got picked for jury-duty for one of them. It's so funny how great a time you can have with law when it's over topics you actually love and know about. They even had some good legitimate arguments. Plus it's not like people haven't been debating topics like subs vs. dubs online forever in the first place.
I actually did NOT go to the masquerade. Surprise, I know. I was at the hotel because Jeremy had a bajillion subway sandwiches for everyone. Then he help a Rock Band tournament with prizes for the winners, and for those that entertained him. More fun times just playing with all the guys in our rooms. Plus I did win a T-shirt for my awesome drumming skills~~
Hmm, after that there were fireworks and a huge dance. I had 200 glow sticks because JoAnns had them on sale so I got them for cheap. But I ended up not even going. I found these guys trying to solve "the mystery of floor 26" or something. But it turned out to be a true quest. No elevator would let you go to floor 26! And no one knew where the emergency stairs were but me because they were tucked away in the center of each tower. Turns out when we went down to that level, everything was dark. They were re-modeling the whole floor. But anyway, yeah. Everyone was partying like crazy because it was the last night of the con and all.
