I'd also like to thank you guys for the awesome panel this year, even moreso for having Mizuki-san attend.

Glad I was able to get a brand new laptop (without melted keys!!) just in time for the con to set up some PoFV/Soku in the game room for people to play, haha.
Can't wait until next year's panel

Sad it is over, though. Post-con depression, ho!

ha ha ha too bad you're not old enough to drink whiskey like I'm doing right now

Anyway. Third and final set of photos is up on my Photobucket--including one last gift for Hitoshi-san:

p.s. being sayaka is suffering

Phew, what a blast this convention was! I felt so sore-thumb showing up with no cosplay Friday and my half-missing Jin cosplay Saturday but the whole thing was amazing. On Friday and Saturday I hung around with Nue and Rinnousuke, and finished Sunday off hanging around the MotK staff. Su-San is just the absolute nicest person to be around, and the rest of the staff was wonderful as well. I walked away with a Reimu plushie, Aya key chain, posters, doujins, and a very nice Reimu Nendoroid, got Hitoshi's autograph (twice actually, do to my clumsiness.), and had the surreal experience of watching Hitoshi play MoF one seat over from playing PoFV myself. The entire weekend was an incredible experience and I wholly suggest that everyone give AB a chance when you can.

Oh and a 5 foot halogen tube fell less than a foot past me, so, aside from that near-death or at least near-serious-injury experience, the convention was absolutely amazing.

You're welcome, Purvis.

Real post will probably come tomorrow. In the meantime, shoutouts to any of J-Ko, Maddy, Thursday, and Meishu that find their way here to read this thread. I miss all of you already.

That's right, you showed me a pic of the aftermath on your camera.
Did they ever figure out exactly how that happened?

@Kilga: It was nice to see you again this year, even if my new laptop was initially without any games XD

Though I did finally manage to get my brother to see you again after the panel, so that's a plus, lol.

OH GOD THIS CON. So, I got to karaoke with Mizuki-san! We sang UN Owen Was JIMANG'S Girlfriend. I even got an autograph on my badge...and the drawing was JIMANG. In a Suwako hat. It was beautiful.

Ruka · « **Reply #156 on:** April 09, 2012, 02:56:44 AM »

I've said it year after year, I will try to make it next year! It's about time I see you guys.

yay I'm finally back! I'll get around to uploading my pictures and the video of Hitoshi Mizuki playing Jubeat sometime tonight but will probably upload it tomorrow

No idea. There weren't even any other tubes like it on the ceiling.

Drugs, Yukari, Moriya shrine, templates, etc.

On an unrelated note, man I really want to make a costume like right now for some reason. Or even two, because I really want to make a Medicine, but the Nue et al. are planning a SDM group, so Meiling is also on the table.

ZetaBladeX13 · « **Reply #159 on:** April 09, 2012, 03:14:11 AM »

lolwut. May have been stored up there for some reason and fell off. Still doesn't make any sense :V
Even if you were lucky, that would have still freaked me out.

Last thing I need right now is Yukari trying to drop like stop signs on my head.

Still had fun sparring with Medicine, though

Same here, haha. Possibly a Nitori mixed with a few elements from Engie, so it works in both PAX and AB. :V

Probably will be uploading my pics (mostly from the Saturday photo op and restaurant) on Tuesday.

Zeta- Yeah very gg's. Snow dot bullets and Youmu's EX attacks are the bane of my existence V:

ZetaBladeX13 · « **Reply #162 on:** April 09, 2012, 03:23:15 AM »

Ugh, was doing so good in one of those matches until a single snow dot bullet took out half my health XD

That was a puny match compared to this one.

I dunno, the CROSS-COUNTAH between Ran and Mima was pretty amazing.

It just occurred to me that I asked *you* about the SAT.

Sorry about that. :derp:

Definitely was

In the meantime....
Not surprisingly, there was a noticeable absence of any Touhou in PAX. I took a quick attempt to fix that at the Fangamer booth:

'What about Touhou?' is what it says, roughly. The last character is incorrect (should be 은, not 는), but I didn't notice the mistake until later :derp:.

hahaha, I was wondering when that would happen.
I've been asked stranger things without first thinking about why XD

Iris · « **Reply #168 on:** April 09, 2012, 04:38:32 AM »

Hooo man, that was an awesome weekend; I'd do that again in a heartbeat. Wellp, as requested, I tried to take as much video as I could. Unfortunately, my laptop's display went bonkers between me shutting it down on Wednesday night and trying to boot it up on Thursday (a fact made twice as painful as it was supposed to be the panel laptop, yerghimble). Unfortunately this means that it's taking a little bit longer to pull all my vids off the SDHC cards my camera takes and get them onto external HDD to upload, but I'm beginning the uploads soon. Stay tuned as usual!

I take my hat off for ya people having fun and shared all the experience with us. Well played all, well played and well done.

We are going to have a Q&A with Hitoshi-san video right? I remember someone saying so. I can't wait until it is done uploaded =D

I heard this was a pretty cool event.

But really, it was a real good time. An amazing time, as every AB tends to be. Whenever I get around to it, I'll throw some pictures up. Nothing too interesting, but a little bit of redundancy never hurt anyone. A bit of a shame that Hendane's AB stock got eclipsed by the Sakuracon stock, but I suppose my wallet is thankful. In the game room, I only really had the time to sit down at the Touhou tables and play a little bit of PoDD. (the allure of jubeat and IIDX is far too strong for my weak will, please forgive me!) As expected, hanging out in the karaoke room and going out to eat with Mizuki-san was awesome.

A+++++ would buy from again

NOTE: Okay seriously, mobile Photobucket sucks. Can't zoom in on these pics, and the "View Full Website" link just takes you to their main page. aaaargh

Quad City QBs · « **Reply #177 on:** April 09, 2012, 02:20:11 PM »

Oh fine, I'll wax mushy too.

I won't say y'all are my family or anything like that--after all, I would not be comfortable with you guys possessing my baby pictures--but AB is probably the one thing I look most forward to every year. A necessary oasis from the straight-laced world of law school, where everything you want to say is vetted and second-guessed and sanitized in your mind before you even say it. I love my friends in my normal life, don't get me wrong, but around you guys, every part of my life--from the law, to the bondage, to the slamming--can just hang loose.

Miss you guys already. Currently reevaluating the costs and benefits of flying out for some future con.

ZetaBladeX13 · « **Reply #178 on:** April 09, 2012, 02:32:12 PM »

The only thing I could ask for next year would be to have a place to set up my laptop that isn't directly in front of huge speakers being used to set up tourneys XD

That, and making sure I can get this laptop to survive until then. Only time will tell :derp:

XEN · « **Reply #179 on:** April 09, 2012, 03:34:45 PM »

Had a load of fun Friday and Saturday with people I ran into. It was a blast playing Soku and PoFV in the game room every night until it closed. Also played some Youyou Kengeki Musou again too. The panel was good fun and getting the chance to have Hitoshi there was awesome. Also kind of new to MotK, so I'll try to post more frequently here. Hopefully I will see some of you at Otakon? :ohdear:
