AW 2018

Another year, another AWA.

I had fun, I always do and as usual I regret not cosplaying...even something simple. I just fear people thinking it looks bad but y'know you get to a convention and there are great costumes and not so great ones but everyone seems very confident no matter how they look so I'm actually going to make an effort next year.
What I'm thinking so far is

• Bulma from DragonBall
• Kuroko from Kuroko no Basket
• Botan from Yu Yu Hakusho

A small list but I don't want to overwhelm myself with options.

Anyways, of course I didn't take any pictures of cosplayers even though I saw tons and tons of really neat ones but I just can't bring myself to ask. I know its probably not a big deal for most of them but IT IS TO ME.

I did buy some merch...as per usge but I retained myself and only bought a few of the many many many things I wanted. This year artist ally was before all of the vendors which I thought was a great change because they get exposure first which is wonderful I ended spending the most money on artist which I usually don't because so much other stuff has caught attention before I got there.

I only regret not picking up a couple of the DVD's I had my eye on, I figured I might be able to find them on amazon or somewhere cheaper turn out most of the vendors had them cheaper *eye roll* but I'll keep that in mind for next year.

SO SO SO here's what I got, links above pictures to artist website/page

These next two things I don't know who the artists are I had business cards for them both but I guess they fell out of my bag or something so if you know who either artist is let me know !

also a little Yuri phone charm 

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST I FOUND SOMETHING I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR FOREVER !!!! A Deku nendroid ヽ(；▽；)ノ
I've been wanting one, and the Bakugo one, for so long but since they are a rare nendroid you can only find them for $300+ and I saw this one and it was the last one they had and the price was...reasonable so I got it !

I don't know why there is so much space between some of the posts, I tried to fix it in HTML mode to no avail ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
