Default Acen 2011: A pictorial con report.
Welp, I'm back from Acen in Chicago with lots of pictures. I'll be swap-tagging all of these to both save on space and to break them up in to "safe for work" and "probably not safe enough for work."

Anyway, the weather was pretty awesome this year. We managed to have it be sunny and cool almost all con long.
We got some really nice outside pictures.












As for me and my girlfriend, we went the pokemon route this year...
She went as a Vuplix. I was tired of seeing the sea of lowly Rocket Grunts and decided to add a touch of "class" to the organization as a Rocket Executive.


You'd think after walking around in those heels all day, she'd be more willing to get back in her pokeball....but nooooooooo!

There was a ton of people there this year. I let my friends hit up most of the photo-shoots, and I still walked away with a few hundred pictures.
Here are a few of my more favorite ones...




































Then there were these pictures that no swap tag could contain...



Also, look who I found!


I had to look all over a convention center and four different hotels to find what few of these I did. I'm sure there were more.




And now for some stuff that shows a little more skin that the common work computer can handle.
So there was this Kamina guy. He was pretty cool.

He brought his own ride that was all tricked out and such. But really, that's not the NSFW part of this story.


You see.......he brought....

his own.......

......Yoko.

....Yep.


What's a con without a Slave Leia anyway?


I don't even know where this is from....


These three guys had no explanation for why they were doing what they were doing. That didn't stop them from doing it all weekend.


Though objectively, this guy did it better.....


This Princess Rue managed to stay on point for almost ten minutes straight while the crowd of people tried to get their pictures in. I was rather impressed.


Anyone hungry for some Italian?


I really like this picture.


Hey Shiney, you totally need a new avatar!



But yeah, Acen was decent overall this year. The Masquerade on Saturday was a little less impressive than usual, but the regular walk-ons and hall costumes made up for it over all.

Ahaha holy shit, that's my friend's sister and her boyfriend. We all went together. (I MADE THOSE HORNS and did his makeup) And helped on that shirt (Aradia's). It was pretty amusing, because that morning, he was just standing there while I did his makeup and Aradia was painting his nails, and our other friend was doing the makeup on his arms. I'll tell them you enjoyed their cosplay.

There were about eight billion Homestuck cosplayers there, and they were all amazingly nice. I talked to a Dad cosplayer for, like, an hour, and there was a Vriska selling Homestuck stuff who we talked to a bunch (and she gave me some free art :3). Another Homestuck cosplayer gave me some charms that looked like Vriska's horns, so that was super nice. There was a Equius cosplayer running around who was pretty much Equius embodied. He was hilarious and never dropped character. I have pretty much no photos because my friend took all of the pictures, haha (over 400 in all).

EDIT okay I lied I have a few pictures that I took on my cell phone:
Sidewalk chalk! Just a tiny part of it.


Doc Scratch!


The photoshoot was completely insane. It took over an hour and a half, and then they had a huge picnic afterwords, where everyone played with sidewalk chalk.

Our hotel was a complete piece of shit and practically stranded us at the convention center, so that was fun. Thank god for an amazing cab driver who helped us out a ton. I still got home at 2 am, bleh. I will say more when I've stopped being entirely exhausted and/or excited, or when I get some pictures from my friends.

Whenever I see a grumpy Slave Leia I always try to figure out if they're in character or just instantly regretting their decision.

Which hotel were you in? We usually end up at the Hyatt itself and this year was especially awesome because we managed to score rooms right next to the hamster tubes. We didn't have to mess with fighting for mostly broken elevators or long flights of stairs all weekend long.

Also, I figured you'd be there somewhere, but since you didn't say anything earlier, I couldn't track you down for a meet-up.

If anyone saw a meowth handing out Rare Candy when told to use Pay Day, that was my friend CJ. She was also someone from Homestuck but I'm not sure who.

I was in one in the next town over (just, like, a 10 minute drive). It was cheaper and SUPPOSEDLY had free shuttle service to and from (apparently not). They were pretty terrible so we've all decided to stuck with a hotel within walking distance from now on(the Hyatt is so expensive)

Yeah, I actually didn't know if I'd be able to go until really late this year (I had to wait in line for four hours for my registration on Friday) so sorry about being elusive.

I cosplayed as Bluh bluh huge bitch and stabbed the cutest Tavros with his lance.
