minnacon2014

Minnacon is some small-time convention that doesn't actually draw a lot of people (my basis of comparison is AFA or maybe EOY or even STGCC) but it's pretty okay I guess.

Ian made me go but he didn't show until after five because he went with his friend Mr Unmemorable to some Love Live's character's birthday event. Anyway I went with Gabrielle so it was okay. Kind of boring. Ian's female classmates had a booth and they were doing commissions. Their drawings are pretty good but by the time I went over I was already broke. So. I awkwardly said hi.

Afterwards another girl thought Gabrielle and I were from that booth and asked if we were going to Anime Matsuri (another small-time convention I bet) and complimented the drawings..........very awkward.

Anyway there was a booth setup by a certain university's comics and animation society, and the A3 prints were really nice, and so I bought two, and the dude (with awesome hair by the way) mistook Gabrielle and I for university students.... which was, again, rather awkward, but for once in my life I was mistaken to be older. Yesssss.

To continue with that dude - he went to draw on the graffiti wall afterwards and the drawing was bloody awesome and people kept staring (including me of course) and then after he was done someone wanted to take a picture of him with the drawing. So he was very awkwardly standing there and more and more people came to take pictures of him and his drawing and his face started twitching and I saw and I started laughing and I think he saw me so he started laughing and then he made his escape.

look at it. it's so pretty. towards the end he kind of fucked up though and he said "shit" but
whatever if i can't spot the mistake then it's probably not that terrible

close up

his signature. can someone stalk that please.

The convention hall was pretty dark and there weren't many cosplayers so. The anime karaoke level was pretty high though. Better than what EOY's level used to be. Or the single SOY that I went to before it was cancelled.

Gabrielle and I spent some time being bored, having lunch, stoning in front of the stage, etc. After Ian arrived with Mr Unmemorable (no I still don't know his name and I still can't recognise him) we played a board game at some section of the hall. It was called Hanabi and was pretty confusing I think.

Some pictures follow.
