Otakon: Day Two

And all in one post! Promise.

So we (well, I) got up at like 6am on Saturday. That gave me about 3-4 hours of sleep—luckily, I never really got tired that day. I was hungry so I already ate, but I did get this McDonald's apple juice:

Mostly it just looks cute on the gingham. Color-wise. Ronald's not cute. Anyway, as soon as we got to the con we got in line for the Dealer's Room. It's not necessary, but it's nice to beat the rush early on. We walked around... saw most of the same stuff. I got a Loveless shirt and Chuchu pin (from the anime Utena). Eventually we got kinda bored, called up my sis and decided to go to lunch! I had never been to California Tortilla, but I knew they're a chain. At the very least it had the convenience of being close to the BCC because our food was NOT good. Our burrito bowl (more salad-like)—the Hickory Chicken Bowl—was chicken, lettuce, and an eensie amount of vegetables. The chicken was fine, but the whole thing was DRENCHED in dressing. It was kinda gross. The meal also includes nachos and queso, which were the kinda thing you would get at a movie theater or a cheap food kiosk at a theme park. So we went back to Otakon and watched a few weird Japanese music videos, followed by some lame AMV overflow. It's amazing what some people submit. Since they were boring, we went to watch some ADV Premiere anime, but they did the Jap w/ subs bit again. Normally that would be appreciated, but not when big heads are in my way and I can barely see the screen at all, much less the bottom of it. After that we all went to watch Iron Editor. It was pretty cool!! Two AMV editors have 2 hours to make a video with select sources, plus a "Secret Ingredient" (haha, I appreciated that). In this case it was Blizzard footage, which was pretty rad. The end was annoying cuz they announced the AMV contest winners and had all these other.. special formality things that took forever. We all just wanted to know who won and then go to dinner cuz it was like 8 ~_~. When we got outta there we went to Chipotle (which pwns California Tortilla!!!) for a nice late dinner. Yay. The End.
