This year I...

-Finally fulfilled my goal of working in a maid/cosplay cafe (Was one of like 3 male butlers?)
-Got to wear those Necomimi ears almost throughout the entirety of kon and ESPECIALLY while working at the cafe.
-Met a ton of really fun people and really cute girls x3
-Participated in my first otaku speed dating thing, seeing as this is my first 18+ kon. (I was #4 with the vest and tie and cat ears! ^ w^)
-First time ever participating in the karaoke competition and making it to the final round. Scared the heck outta me, but it was still fun!
-Sung to Disney Princesses
-And lost a few pounds due to not having time to eat much!

Overall, this kon re-instilled my faith in conventions and now I really REALLY can't wait til next year.

I think that EVERY hard working staffer deserves some lovin' after working their faces off trying to keep everything organized. xD
WHERE THE HELL HAVE I BEEN?!

This year of Kawaii Kon 2012 I...

-- Staffed Events officially for the first time. It was a blast!
-- Made it to the finals of the Karaoke Competition a second time, but lost to a great singer. Congrats Joy!
-- Participated in Cosplay Theater again and got asked to participate next year. I was the last-minute Genesis. XP
-- Ran 4 panels and helped out in 3 other ones. 3 of em' were Voice Acting panels.
-- Got 4 autographs.
-- Got surprised when Serenity Wheeler told me she's also from Brooklyn. Brooklyn Rage runs in the family, I guess. XD
-- Barely ate, barely slept, but had a lot of energy. Definitely loved drinking 5-hour energy at my panel.
-- Made more friends this Kon than any other year.

Overall, this was a great Kon. XD
