FINALLY: New York Comic Con 2011






The long-awaited NYCC 2011 came and went around the middle of October. This was the very first convention I went to PURELY for my own enjoyment. Any con I've been to since NYAF 2007 always mainly involved me working for a friend at their booth, doing a panel, or both, all in lolita.

This time I was DETERMINED to try and not wear lolita at -all- for the whole weekend, either cosplay or normal clothing, and somehow I succeeded. There was a point in time where I was gonna try and wear it on Sunday, but I ended up not going home that night so that sorta flew out the window lol. Unfortunately wasn't able to do Fran like I wanted to because I didn't finish the costume, so now that project will keep going on for hopefully Otakon next year xD;

Instead, I just went as a Ravenclaw student on Friday, because I ended up participating in a recording for Daniel Radcliffe later on that night. Saturday and Sunday I ended up going in t-shirt and jeans. LUCKILY the weather was pretty good the entire weekend, and it was pretty warm, so not too many complaints about that this time around. Having just been laid off earlier that week, and a small last paycheck due to medical leave + Christian convention the week before, I had little to really splurge on. Luckily the gaming swag I ended up getting for free and Kinokuniya's sale at their booth was good enough for me.


For basically the majority of the weekend I was just gaming-- playing demos, getting free shit, looking around at all the action figures, statues, etc. I had a bit of a list of panels I wanted to see, but because the con was so huge and the wait lines were ridiculous, I didn't bother. They weren't HOMG MUST SEE (except the Final Fantasy XIII-2, but I got to the con late anyways), and there were barely anything anime or J-fashion so as far as panels I was pretty displeased.

I was thinking of doing yet another panel next year, but the J-fashion panels that -were- done were placed at a really inconvenient place where it was open and loud and just ugh, it was terrible. I kind of don't want to bother if they're gonna mistreat all the small people like that again next year.

Anyways, pictures~



Literally the first thing I saw and went to lol. An hour + of waiting but SOWORTHIT


About 6-8 gaming stations, half of them were 360s, the other half PS3s

The headphones had the FFXIII-2 logo on them... I wish they were available for purchase but xD meh

I'm excited for the game itself. I still haven't beaten the first one but I still have another 2 months to finish it before this comes out during my birthday ;3 and hopefully I'll have a huge HD TV to play it from lolo
