After two months of one day saying I'll go and the other saying I can't, a week...yes no more than a week before Anime Boston "09" I finally decided I could go. I went and I'm so happy I did.
I need to earn money so I plan on doing Commissions if anyone want, please. More to be explained further down as well as Commission guide lines.
I need a second job, or an new job that can promise me a minimum of 30 hours a week. Right now I'm getting less then half of that a week.


Alright fist off AB "09" was fun. John was a great pal for letting me room with him at the Hotel. We got to the convention a little before 7:30am on Friday, we checked our bags and I headed to the registration line. It was around the out side of the building. I needed up meeting a nice girl dressed as a sexy female Shippo from Inuyasha, can't recall her name (sorry). Once reg opened at 8am the line started moving. Once in side the room and at the at-con-red line I meet two others who I ended up talking to during the hour and 40 minutes before I got my badge. I have to say they were kind of lame this year.
At 11am I went to the "Character Concept and Design" Panel. Though I regret not leaving early and going to the "Steampunk" panel. At noon at went the the "Kalafina" Panel. I got to ask Kalafina a question and got the Autograph with out having to wait in a line. After that was a time to explore the Dealers Room and see if they had anything good to buy. I took a break around 3:30pm and headed up to the room. Meet my other two roomies from NH and their cute baby girl, changed and went swimming at the pool and a nice soak in the hot tube. After that it was time to go to "Anime Unscripted". From there was the "AMV Contest". There where some really good AMV's this year. John the decided he was going to feed me for the rest of the weeked and we went out to eat. After that sleep.

Friday was explore Artist Alley and more Dealers Room then at 2pm head to the Kalafina Concert.VGO(Video Game Orchestra) played before them. They were awsome and so was Kalafina. That ran a little late so it was run to the "Sailor Moon Forever" panel. That was fun and interesting. Won some Sailor Moon stickers. I ended up having to buy batteries for my camera and changed outfits. Ended up jumping rope with some strangers, got some really good pics of others jumping rope to before Con staff told us to stop. The went to the food court John gave me money to buy some .
Saw in his Steampunk cosplay. By the way great job. Also got to see in her cosplay of Sailor Neptune. Then It was time to enjoy the "Masquerade". Then relaxing, which was pretty much pass out till the next day.

I spent most of Sunday at the Charity Auction. Got a Gothic Lolita hat themed to Steampunk. John bid for some Sailor Moon Merchandise. He got out bid on the key chains but won the stickers. He gave me have and the other half. He bid for a lot of other stuff but got out bid. He did getting the winning bid for the 3night stay at the Sheraton Hotel for AB "10". He also won one of the laptops in the raffle, I won the "snack basket" from the raffle.

I have to say I should of spent more money in Artist Alley. There was a huge amount of prints I wanted but I kept forgetting or getting side tracked and on Sunday they ended up closing early. Also, I was disappointed with the Dealers Room. Most of the stuff there I could get at a book store or a movie store. There where a few places that had really cool stuff, but was way to expensive. Like the Corset Store and the Leather store. Most of the shops selling Cosplay costumes where either to expensive to didn't have my size. Though I really wanted to Kimono. Which was labled only at $80, but due to little hours and job problems this last year I didn't have the usual amount of money I would usually have to AB. Hope they come back next year. Also there where now new plushies for sale. Everything was pretty much there back stock. And only one dealer and a any anime pins. There just wasn't a good amount of items I think worth going crazy about. Last years wasn't the best either. Dealers Room at AB "07" was a mad house. You either bought it when you say it or it was gone. Like the Axel and Ulquiorra Plushie I bought that year. Though I have to say my Black Mokona(Larg, From Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle and xxxHolic)Plush backpack is adorable. I also have to point out that even though the Dealers Room has been declining Artist Alley was been thriving and expanding. ^.^

Over all I bought a Ulquiorra figure, a grab bag, Mokona bag, two Gothic Lolita hats, a black choker with a bell. A Vampire Knight(Aido) phone strap, 20 anime pins, Volume 23, 34, and 25 of Red River Manga, two prints at Artist Alley and a circlet. Over all I bought very little.
