I took $150 with me and this is what I got (flat broke at the end)...
Master Sword Replica (with sheath) - It is pretty decent for a replica, though it's not sharp (not that I mind). The hilt could had been a little better, but it's better than most of the replica swords I saw over-all (Cloud, Sephiroth, and Sora's weapons were all short. x_x )
Scarlet Veronica T-Shirt (Demon Skull Emblem) and a preview-comic of the actual comic (which comes out on Halloween. So going to get it).
EVE: Vampire Diva issues 1 to 4, EVE pinup book, an EVE print, and The Apocalypse Codex: The Best of Homeschooled Years 1-3 (webcomic by the artist of EVE). The people there were great!
Shiver in the Dark issues 1 to 3 and two prints by Stuwart Sayger (one of Doctor Doom, another of a random flower-lady who I thought was Rose or Poison Ivy at first).
A drawing of Deathstroke the Terminator (aka: Slade Wilson). A drawing of Lulu from FFX holding a Moogle doll while casting a spell with her other hand.
Three video-game prints. One was Cortana from Halo. One was Zelda and Sheik (from the looks of it, they are Brawl version). And Samus Aran in Zero Suit (I could had gotten Samus in her Chozo Suit facing a Metroid, but I wanted this one more).
Four of the Five "The Ring" manga (I already have Spiral). Oh My Goddess volume 1.
A heap of free stuff from the table I call the "Wizard Freebies" table. One of them was Tiny Titans... >_>;
I had a lot of fun~ I talked to a bunch of people (cosplayers and people running the tables). I got multiple websites of comics (and got to talk to the author of a book coming out called Soulstealer War) that I intend to check out sooner or later... and I REALLY wish I had my camera. I mean, there were so many cosplayers! I especially would had loved to taken the picture of Yuna, Blade, Oni-Link, TP Link (you can tell as he was wearing the Zora Armor), and TP Zelda.
I saw Boba Fett, various Storm Troopers, and Princess Leia. I watched some people at the Star Wars table placing handcuffs on Leia (who was in the Slave Outfit). I just HAD to say "KINKY!" When I saw her again, someone was holding the chain-leash. "Still kinky!" Back to the table, I had earlier on jokingly said "I'll never join the Dark Side!" "But we have cookies!" "You lie! That's candy!" (True) "It's better than cookies!" "Oh? Well, here on the light-side, we have brownies!" *holds up brownies* "Darn it!"
I kept bumping into the Joker (who was apparently friends with the Batman, so I kept saying "you're a terrible Joker! You're friends with BATMAN!"), came across Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn several times. Near the end, I ran into two Riddlers (Green-Question mark Suit and one wearing a SEEMINGLY normal-looking suit, making me thing he was the Mad Hatter at first), and as I walked out, I saw another Harley Quinn.
The people at the various booths I stopped at were really nice and friendly (but it could had been just because I was the one being all chatty and friendly and automatically saying what I thought of their stuff (which was all good, though some of it was a bit odd).)
If I ever have the chance to, I am so going to another convention! |

It musta been good, but Kefka wasn't there. Kefka makes any good convention a billion times better. |

Kefka COULD had been there. It was a big place and people were coming and going at random. |

I wish Houston had some good conventions, but the town is too polluted for anything decent to happen outside downtown. It's too polluted for anything to happen inside, too! |
