Con Report: Connichi 2009

Nikky — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 14:18:22 +0000

Little late but better late than never. ^^°

So, Connichi was crap. Worst Connichi since 2006. I think the only point I enjoied was the Zelda Movie “The hero of Time” It was great. For a fanmade movie very professionnel! I liked it. xD “You got the bow! Dee dee dee deeeee!” I’m so glad I showed it Motrix, because he was one of the “Orgas” and organized that the Connichi could show it on Friday evening. :)
Another point which was good about Connichi 2009 was the love. So many love! ^___^
And of course meeting those nice and awesome people again that I can call my friends now! But most of all the days were exhausting and tiring. And not really enjoyable. I wasn’t in the mood for cosplay so I went in civil most of the time. But next year everything will be great because I will enter the Pre-WCS.

This year will no conventions follow for me. The next one is Hanami in May 2010. But there will be a shooting in wintertime, so photos will come. ;D

Con Report: GamesCom 2009

Hi everyone. The first gamescom is over now an nearly one week has passed since then.
Sorry that this entry comes so late but I had lot’s of things to do for my new appartement. ;D

So, GamesCom was great! Weather was perfect, little too warm but okay. Sun was shining, many nice people were there. We ate the best Sushi I ever ate. :9
Thanks to Deval/Iris for showing us this nice Sushirestaurant. Sunday was even better than Saturday, because NCSoft arranged a costume contest with NCSoft-games. I was there and I was the onlyone who was from AION, the new Onlinegame from NC-Soft. My 3 combatants did wear costumes from Linage and GuildWars and they had in part great costumes. But guess who wins! xD Right! Me! ME!

I won the first place, well, I think only the wings made me having a chance.
But I won the collectors edition of AION, 3 Shirts, a headphone (nice to have because mine is dead xD) and a great gamingmouse from Razer! *___*

I was interviewed so often and when I was posing for a photo I had to stay in position for half an hour because so many people wanted to take photos of/with me.
I felt like a star! xD
I was interviewed so many times, one (german) interview you can find on youtube. (Link will be postet in the costumeprofile when I upload the photos.)
Too bad, that Mo, who wanted to cosplay an Elyos Spiritmaster couldn’t be there in his costume because we had to destroy his cos on Saturday evening. ;____; He didn’t came out…

Like I said, photos will follow this week and the interview too. ;D

Well, you see, no Anipics followed till now and I think this won’t change in the next future.
22 days till Connichi 2009! 8D I hope this year’s ‘Nichi will be as best as last year but I have some doubts. ^^°
See you there!

Con Report: Animagic 2009

Nikky — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 10:57:30 +0000

This year was the year. The year of our first Animagic, officially the largest anime/manga convention in Germany. But I have to say…it was shit! xD Well, it was nice because we met a lot of nice people again. But I had a flu and headache came along with me all the time. And on top of this the main acts that were announced didn’t take place. Arina-san’s Workshop on Sunday was only on Saturday and so I missed it. ;____;
Lot’s of Macross-, of course Bleach-, Final Fantasy- and Pokemon&Digimon Cosplayers. And nearly no Naruto! WTF? xD
All in all I think Animagic is going to fail during the next years.

Well, some pics will follow maybe. ;D

Con Report: CosDay Vol.30 & New Photoset online

Nikky — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 08:51:03 +0000

Well, what should I say? I went on CosDay on Saturday the 18th of July and it was a nice uncomplicated convention. :)
I had a lot of fun, although the weather wasn’t quite good. I met some really nice new people which I had just known online.
Too bad that some old friends couldn’t come. :(
The best thing was lunch. xD The waitress was absoluteley rude and our burgers tasted like stones…and last but not least they wanted us to pay for a meal twice. They forgot to bring it and when we said, that one burger is missing, they thought we ordered a new one. Well, such things can happen but the rudness we were treated with was shockingly.

Waitress: “YOU DIDN’T PAY FOR THIS!!!” (Her voice sounded like ‘you damn asshole’)
We: “Wait! We did pay for this, you forgot to bring this burger! And we only said that it’s missing.”
Waitress: “YOU WAIT HERE!!! I WILL PROOVE THIS!!!” (Her voice sounded like ‘you damn asshole’ again xD)
But everything was clear in the end and as result they will never get us as customers. xD

To see the photos of my Hokutocosplay please klick here.
Maybe some pics will follow after we did another shoot when my boyfriend finished his ‘Spear of Wotan’ for his Albireocos.

Con Report: Hanami 2009

Nikky — Mon, 11 May 2009 09:54:13 +0000

I just can say that the “Hanami ‘o9″ was really terrible and will ever be terrible in my mind. It was very small and Saturday was a holy day filled with personal shit.
And at last my camera was stolen. That was the point I broke. End of my day! xD
