ACen 2010 Con Report: Very picture heavy!

[Tev]

Yep it's that time again! Just now finishing up my recovery from a full three days of solid Anime Central in Chicago. This was a pretty big year. Not only did I end up with over 2,000 pictures to sort through, my friends and I had a rousing game of Pokemon Snap over the weekend with all the Pokemon cosplayers running around. On the music front; Yoshiki Hayashi of X Japan fame made a surprise appearance. And by "surprise" I mean, he called the ACen staff on Friday and said "Oh hey, I want to show my half hour documentary premier in the middle of your Grand Masquerade on Saturday. Is that cool?" and they went "HOLY FUCK IT'S YOSHIKI! YES YES YES YES YES!" and he was all "Cool. I'll fly down now then." And so he did. It was kinda neat having a nation treasure of Japan literally twenty feet from me on stage.

Anyway, on to the pictures....

Pokemon Snap!

So yeah, good times were had. Hope you all liked the highlights.

Hey! You were there too! So was I! I don't think I ever ran into you though.

I'll share my favorite picture from the con:

They made my day. Watching these two at the MGS photoshoot was hilarious.

I was at that photoshoot!

[CelesJessa]

I was at that photoshoot!

Were you? I actually was watching from across the street because I was watching two photoshoots at once. XD If you saw a Doctor Who in a blue suit there taking pictures, he was with me though.

[Tev]

Were you also at the Doctor Who photoshoot? Because I was there too....even after it moved to the less crowded area.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Loneglade/ACen%202010/IMG_1633.jpg?t=1274333288 Is that the last boss just before Kefka in FF6?

Frickin sweet thread anyway.

[Tev]

And now it's easier to look at and read!

[Loyal]

I love the attention to detail on the Cloud outfit. XD

Would you mind me asking you to forward this and any other Chrono pictures you took? I'm a member over at the Chrono Compendium (http://www.chronocompendium.com/), and the admin there likes to archive cosplay photos >.>

Either way, HURRAY COSPLAY PHOTOS! I'm not quite sure why I love cosplay so much, but I loves it so. I almost went, but the people who were gonna head out there with me all backed off at the last second, so I couldn't make it.

[Tev]

That can be arranged. It will have to wait until I get home from work and sorted them all out though.

[phil_]

Oh man, the dual Ivankovs was an unexpected treat.

[Rejected Again]

Volgen and Raikov....Thank you CJ.

Tev, Great shots all around. Looks like next year I'll have to bust out the Jack Sparrow and Kenshin and head to ACen.

[CelesJessa]

Volgen and Raikov....Thank you CJ.

There's more where that came from! (which I just got these pictures back)
