AFO: Not just another convention

It's only right that my first post here should be about a memorable experience. This is a recent one, but a very short one. While it lasted three days for most others, it lasted only a day for me. I, a working teenager, versus big company that holds my pay check in its very jaws. It didn't go down well. I still have my job of course, but I left AFO with my tail tucked between my legs and a group of friends watching me go. Wonderful, no? I held on to what I could of AFO though. The whole ride home, I wore the items that I'd picked up while there. A Dark Gema Gema Gang Coo hat, a silver bell, a wristband with the oroboros seal upon it, a cute plushie, a three day pass, a camera with only a few pictures, and a bag with the signatures of voice actors and artists I'd met. Not a bad collection to amass in such short time no? Next year is my year to shine. I'm going to cosplay and stay the entire time! I figure the first day I'll play a fox boy, and the last two play Kaito Kiddo. XD I'm such a big fan of him.

6 three day passes- $220
1 Dark Gema Gema Gang Coo Hat- $20

Not bad for a nice day for me and weekend for my friends. I'll handle expenses again next year guys! Plus that money I promised for gas this time but didn't leave. ^______^;;
