AX 2012 - Day 1

Hello!


Today was our first official day of Anime Expo.  Tiffy and I cosplayed our first set of costumes: Lightning and Serah Farron from FFXIII.



We were the only set of Lightning/Serah that we saw, and we actually got a surprising number of picture requests.  Yay for set costumes! Yeah, I actually can't believe it turned out so well.  We were a pretty good duo :P  And Tiffy was actually taller than me!  It kind of freaked all our friends out.


Highlights of the day:
- Running into our friends at registration.
- Fluff Ice!
  



- Seeing other cosplays... Totoro, Kirby, baby Cloud, WoW, samurai people, Boba Fetts, monitor head peoples, and more!
- Visiting our friend Wei at the crunchyroll station, seeing the new Necomimi ears, and sneaking some free drinks from their back room.
- Meeting up with my cousin for dinner at a super popular Italian restaurant/bakery, Bottega Louie.


First day reflections of AX? hard to say lol we spent most of the day walking around, failing to coordinate meetings with friends and posing for pictures.  we'll definitely have to make an effort to attend some shows/panels tomorrow.  However, like always, we leave exhausted.  until tomorrow!

Anime Expo 2012 - We're Here!


Greetings from Los Angeles, CA -- home of gorgeous blue skies, lovely beaches and of course, Anime Expo! After one year of planning (and procrastinating!), Christine and I are finally here :) and with two completed costumes as well.  The last couple of weeks have been hellish, and the 2.5 hour wait for badges today was absolutely brutal (though at least the weather was beautiful, and we're not in the 100 degree Texas summer heat wave) but we are excited to go on another cosplay adventure together! Stay tuned for more updates, pictures and musings about our times here at AX 2012.  Anime Expo, here we come!
