Ah, FanExpo, well, it seems to be quiet boring in a way today. Compared to the previous years of it. Not many people showed up this year compared to last year. The crowd was pretty small. I guess most people will go on Saturday. Well, I didn’t take as much pictures as I want since I was busy cosplaying. I was cosplaying as Len from Vocaloid. Half of the people who saw me thought I was Kagamine Rin not Len. There are a lot of differences to that character. One, no sleeve shirt and two, hair style is completely different. I also realize that my friend and I are the only Vocaloid cosplayers there. Anyways, enough ranting on and on, on to FanExpo Day 1…

Well, arrived at the convention center. FanExpo is at the South building…

Currently, the line to get tickets and passes. I was able to get one within 20 minutes or so. It came with a goodie bag.

Something or people who love Stormtroopers… Well, there was this booth at FanExpo for 501th legion which is a Star Wars fan base. That is one heck of a suit.

At 4PM, I was able to go into the dealer and event room… It’s huge with all the different cons split into 5 different section.

Mario seems to have attended as well…with his star power!!!!!!!

For people who loves WOW, this is for you!!!!!!!!

The anime section of the convention area. Not bad, everything is either overpriced or US cover price…

IT’S OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!! Vegeta cosplayer…surprisingly, it’s a female cosplayer…

More pics from inside the dealer room…

A small Bleach group. Nicely done too!!!!!!!

Oh No, the Empire is striking back!!!!!!!!!

This is an extremely well done cosplay!!!!!!!

He has a bomb!!!!!!! RUN!!!!!!

Ahm fresh breath anyone…

Gaming section of the convention… A lot of proffessional gamers are playing here…

A lot of people resting…like me at this time…

Cosplayers usually hang around here…

Dragon Ball Z cosplayers done by an all female cosplaying group…

Four female Links and one male Link, what a lucky guy!!!!!!

At around 9:30PM, the convention is so empty… Not many people are hanging around here…

Well, my friends and I went to East Side Marios for dinner. So many people and it took around 45 minutes for the food to come. It was slow yet good… Well, I arrived home and washed off my yellow spray and gel hair…

Well, today was pretty good. I get to meet Saku from Saku’s AFK Corner and he also wrote a post on FanExpo here. He was a cool guy and we talked for a while before we parted ways. We plan to meet up tomorrow at anime name that tune. Well, I have to get some rest for tomorrow. I’ll provide some coverage on tomorrow’s event.

Yeah, usually there aren’t as many people on Fridays at conventions. Yay! D.Gray-Man cosplayers!

Otaku Dan: Fridays are always like that. Saturdays are always packed!!!!!!!

Kairu: Well, I feel Saturday is the day to attend…

Larein: Yup I did!!! Hard but unprepared…I forgot to at some space in between… Since I grew a bit when on my trip to Japan…

Lu-K: I’m like meh…most people thought I was a girl sadly…Well, I blame on not fixing it a bit more before I left for my trip…

I wish I could have attended T.T. I want to meet some of the fellow bloggers as well as join in on the fun.

I think I saw that Soi Fon from AN this year. I really want to cosplay but I’m not sure about the costume.
