So, this was my first time at Otakuthon...let alone Montreal!!
I had SUCH AN AMAZING TIME! I got to hang out with some great friends for the weekend! We left late Thursday and arrived at our hotel at 1:00am. We didn't go to bed right away though xD Friday, we explored town a bit, ate DELICIOUS POUTINE (mine was cheese free of course because I hate cheese), saw some cute shops, then made our way to the con! Day 1: I forgot to put more money in my wallet after going back to the hotel to change. I had to be a butt and ask my friend for some cash when wanting to buy something (I paid him back as soon as we got back to the hotel though!) The ticket line was pretty big x.x but we made it in within one hour of waiting. It was kind of just a lazy day, UNTIL THE CONCERT :D Moon Stream performed and they were quite awesome! I really enjoyed it! I grabbed the set list off the stage xD hehe! After the concert, one friend and I went to check out the dance...just to see what was going on. We got hit on...the guy tried to persuade us with colourful glow wands!!! IT DIDNT WORK!! WE DONT WANT YOU, WE JUST WANT YOUR LIGHTS!! XD
Day 2: Got up earlier to go sign up for the masquerade, which wasnt as awesome as I thought it would be x,x oh well! I am motivated to make my Kayle cosplay look awesome!! On Saturday, I actually bought everything that I wanted because I stocked up my wallet xD I was able to get Moon Stream's signatures on the set list and the CD I bought! I think the best part of the day was going to the dance party rave thing.....at 3:00am LMAO I must say, that was definitely one of the best con experiences I've had!! I had so much fun and there weren't a lot of people and only one guy smelt of B.O.!! WHAT A MIRACLE!! And it wasn't like deathly either! Anyways, there was a circle of people and my friends and I kept running to the middle to show off our MAD DANCE SKILLZ!!! It was just so fun being able to dance and be super silly! I ended up going to sleep at almost 5am and we had to wake up at 8am LMAO
Day 3: Sunday was a lazy day. I went to the awards ceremony for the masquerade, but I didn't win anything. Oh well! It gives me more drive to make Kayle KICK ASS!! Finished some last minute shopping, made some friends, an watched Moon Stream do a mini acoustic performance! After that, we left the con! Got on the train going anywhere because Im just a small town girl. MURHURHUR!! Anyways I had a good sleep on the train. We arrived in Toronto and I said my good byes!!
I bought more things than I did at Anime North! PRINTS, a hand crafted necklace, one of Moon Stream's CD, Kyary buttons, Able Sisters keychains, and...oh thats it! One of my friends bought me a button with a hurdur face on it xD IT LOOKS LIKE ME I SWEAR IT!
All in all, this con was very enjoyable and I would definitely go again!! I look forward to going with the same group of friends next year (if we can go again)
Woot!! What a great weekend!!! A nice way to slowly end off an awesome summer!
