Alrighty folks this is going to be a big post! AnimeFest was pretty fun! I only went on Saturday (9-1-12) but the turn out was great! Comparing it to AKon I would say it was just a tad bit smaller.. but overall had the same great vibe 🙂
Kevin drove up from Austin the night before and brought some Ramune and Mochi for me to try! It was different, but really tasty. After giving him a haircut (lol) we went to sleep early since we needed to wake up at 7 am to get ready. That gave us enough time to drive to downtown Dallas. Good thing we did because part of the highway was closed off! When we got there the lines weren’t too bad for registration. Later in the day when my other friends Jordan and Jared arrived, the lines were crazy long! We attended a “brony improv” panel that was … well.. interesting.. lol .. And Jordan and Jared saw a Pokemon panel. We all went to the MLP photoshoot which happen to be at the same time as a the Zelda/Link photoshoot. Kevin was a ‘modern Link’ this convention but after seeing the other’s who went all out I think we might do Zelda and Link next!

Really awesome costume! You put it all together so nicely! Even having seen the individual pieces that you ordered, it was hard to imagine what it would end up looking like. That wig looks really fun. Great job!
(I love the TTGL and Beetlejuice costumes also! Kevin did a good job with the camera.)
