Favorite AnimeIowa Memories

The Journey to the West panel was really interesting.  Nice little history lesson.

Getting people to play against me in 3rd Strike, sober or otherwise.

Not realizing who the voice actor guests were until closing ceremonies.  Except for Greg, everyone knows who he is.

Being the only non-staff member to help pack equipment into the storage locker.  Now that's volunteering.

On Sunday, when I was Lady Luigi (as it has now been dubbed), I was playing DDR by myself, and I felt epic. At one point, I think I hopped off the pad, clapped for myself, and then went back to playing.
On that note, I'm not that great at DDR, so I felt the applause was necessary to keep my motivation up x3

I loved dancing in the random Caramell Dansen lines and groups :3 It was sooo much fun! xP

I also remember, in 2008, when Clarine Harp said she had never been to Iowa before (the state) and some guy in the back of the room yelled, "We have corn!" and I swear I wasn't the only one who misheard him.

Last Year When I Was chased By A Teletubbie >>

It was Funny As Hell Though >>

Last year, I had lots of people mistake my Hans cosplay for Anastasia, the Russian princess, and when I corrected them, politely, they just said 'Oh...' and walked off.

Honestly my favorite part of 09 was when I was cosplaying Sakura Haruno during the soul eater shoot on saturday. I saw a death the kidd cosplayer, whom was really awesome. I was running toward the photoshoot on the ramp on the back patio, when I tripped on my handmade shoes and fell on my face, scratching my tummy, knees, and my cheek/nose. Everyone was like "OMG Sakura are you OK?!!!" XD I thought it was funny.

I still have scars.

Yes, because scars are funny xD

SO, I hugged a Vivi cosplayer, because I thought he was super epic, and then, after con, like WAAAAYYY after con, he and I met at a meet up, and I meet his brother, and I was like, 'OH MY GOD! I KNOW YOU!' and it got awkward but now its fine >_>

the kumquat incident is still a huge joke with my buddies. i mentioned it earlier. During a short lived impromptu hall party we had a thing of cheeseballs adn they got spilled by a girl. As we were cleaning them up she went "I'm sorry! ...OMG ARE THOSE KUMQUATS???" and when we said no she was all depressed looking and said "Oh..." haha good times

My friend and I were leaving AI, since it was the last day, and we looked at each other. We were discussing what we should cosplay as the next year, and we turned to each other, pointing, me shouting at her 'URAHARA!!!' and she shouting at me, 'YORUICHI!!!'
So, thats what we're doing. Imma go as Yoruichi, and she's going as Kisuke xD

Also, when my friends and I were in the line for the Masquerade, we started up a huge line of 'Butt-scratcher'. And then, we had a bunch of empty Ramune bottles, started shoving them in each others cosplays. Then, the Soul Eater group who was sitting in front of us, their Black Star cosplayer gave us all her/his autograph xD

Last year.
My first glomp xD

It was to my friend actually. He was walking away and I wanted a hug. But another friend (Grr) tugged me back until I yanked away. So I take off, trip, and am forced to turn hug into glomp.

The amazing thing is, he didn't hear me xD So the look on his face (Terror/Glee) was priceless xD

2008, I was waiting for my friend to get out of a panel, so I found a bench to sit on. I was sitting by myself for probably ten minutes (note: a line was forming to get into another panel), and this guy dressed as a heartless kept looking back at me sitting by my lonesome. Finally, he said, "You look like you could use a hug." So I hugged him and sat back down. It was funny to me. XP

Mine would have to be in '08 when me and my friends got to play in the Rock Band Tourney. We didn't really know what to expect and we were all super nervous and even though we didn't win it's always been something we look forward to each year. LONG LIVE BRAVO COMPANY!!

[Myku]

My favorite memory would have to be the fact of for the last two years my fiancee (back then was boyfriend) and I always run into who we like to call our Ginyu force friends and everytime they did they had to pull of the ginyu force pose. And I mean always. hahaha hopefully I see them again this year.

Great one from last year.  Found a cosplayer dressed up as Molotov Cocktease from Venture Bros.  Called her out and she asked if I wanted to take her picture.  I shed a tear and said that I couldn't (camera was crapping out on me).   She then asked if I wanted a hug so I figured why not.  As we hugged, she said one of Molotov's funniest lines from the show, "it's always cold in Siberia".  I busted out laughing. Really put a smile on my face.
