Insights and Lessons Learned from SakuraCon

-Live Tweeting is fine and dandy, but rather difficult when you are oogling the cosplayers

-New reason to lose weight ASAP: fear of getting the condition I call Fat Person Funk (FPF)

-FAR better variety of merchandise than at Emerald City ComiCon, but not NEARLY as much Big Freakin’ Robot (BFR) merchandise as I thought there would be

-Amazingly, there was no shame from people perusing the hentai booths

-I SERIOUSLY thought of hitting on Velma…

-LOTS of videogames, and lots of fun to be had watching cosplayers play Dance Dance Revolution

-Best Buy: WORST. BOOTH. EVER.

-Broken in shoes do WONDERS for walking

-A good portion of the booths sold edged weaponry. Does that mean geeks are trusted more around blades?

-Black Widow was the only cosplayer I pursued to get a picture of

-And I regret not getting a picture of her GORGEOUS ass

-Seemed like almost everyone there thinks anime consists solely of Bleach and Naruto (Thanks a LOT, Cartoon Network...)

-I cannot figure out which videogame got the most love: Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Legend of Zelda… or Team Fortress 2

-Next time, bring one of those GIGANTIC bags you can get from IKEA

-Would it have killed them to have ONE transforming Garland from Megazone 23?

-Next time I should buy a hat, but which kind: anime or steampunk?

-I wonder, if I was able to score with a cosplayer, would the magic be gone if they DIDN'T wear the outfit…?

And MOST importantly-

BRING A DECENT CAMERA!!!!

(Time to start checking out Cnet…)
