I went Friday and Sunday and I kind of had fun.

Friday was a little disappointing. I'm just really not into anime anymore, so it's just not much fun. I met a lolita who seemed pretty nice. (I don't remember if I got her name, but i got her lj) There were two gorgeous Baby, the Stars Shine Bright skirts and a jumperskirt that I wanted so bad, but I didn't have the money at all. Then the man selling Bodyline tried to feed me lies. I looked around and found a pink Hello Kitty parasol I wanted, but I couldn't figure out how big it was unfolded, or find the person selling it, so I got annoyed and left the dealer's room. (But not before buying delicious confetti and pocky. :]) I went over to the Artist Alley and found my friend [link] and talked to him for a few minutes and looked at his art, and then I left.

Sunday was the day of the panel! I woke up early and worked on the two posters I'd planned on having, and then I headed off to the convention! When I saw the room we were doing it in, I got so nervous. It was probably three times the size of the room they gave us last year, with a huge platform for us to sit on, and even microphones! It took us until about 1:10 (the panel was supposed to start at 1. :[) to set up, even though we got there a good 15 minutes early at least. By the time we started, the room was almost full! I was really surprised. I think we covered everything well, because even with the larger audience I think we got less questions at the end. Afterwards lots of people came up and we handed out some papers with links and our email addresses on them, and one nice girl in a bad (but not terrible) dress asked for help on figuring out what good lace and bad lace was like. We showed her some bad and good lace, and there was bad lace on her dress, but there was a row of good lace too, so she actually had a nice example to take home with her. She made me happy because I thought she was a good example of why we shouldn't make fun of the new girls just because they're not dressed quite right, because she was a nice girl and she wanted to learn.
