Yo, Seiko here, and man, am I ever lingering with excitement. Two weeks have gone for me and I found myself at a street festival and a convention. It left me mentally drained, but lucky for me, these were local events, so let's cut the crap and get to them.
Event 15: Sakura Matsuri 2013: Despite the destruction of my young smartphone, going to Sakura Matsuri in DC was nothing short of amazing. Once again donning the ponytail Malachite, I ment with Melissa's crew again, and saw my favorite Jpop idol Reni Mimura perform. I helped out with one of the staff from Katsucon in regards to the table for it. I even saw a few buddies from my days of the Art Institute of Washington at this event. The key highlight to me that weekend was playing Arcana Heart 3 and Gundam Extreme Versus, both of which I'll review in due time. I also went to varuous memorials where the cosplay fun didn't end. All in all, bad start, but a great night.
Event 16: Awesome Con DC: For a first time in DC, Awesome Con made quite the stellar debut. When I heard gaming, I wasn't expecting tabletop gaming, which is something I don't involve myself with much. What's more I saw some MORE AiW buddies there, so big shoutout to them. I also met a cool blogger who not only cosplayed, but also won the group contest by cosplaying a title I never expected to see so soon: Bioshock Infinite. I also met a few FB Friends there, met DJ Asu, and other familiar faces, and even met Theodus Crane from AMC's The Walking Dead, which I truly felt was an HONOR! In a nut shell, Awesome Coin DC was nothing short of AWESOME! I really look forward to next year's con.
In short, it was quite the past 2 weekends. Shame I couldn't get photos of it to show you. Maybe next go rount, I'll take plentyof shots, but if you're a comic book/ tabletop fanatic, check it out. I promise you'll have a good time. But for now, that's it for me! Seiko out!
