Systemdown Chronicles

The boring winter has ended and the events of the summer are
beginning. The first event of the year was Sakuracon. This would have been the forth or fifth time that I have gone to Sakuracon, can’t quite remember how many times. I will have to dig out my badges and count them up. I truly forgot how long it takes to get through the registration line. Last year I was given my badge by the convention chair since I was there as an exhibitor for Kumoricon. We had a great weekend this year, very laid back and relaxed compared to other years. We were all at different stages of the same cold though, my girlfriend ended up hitting the worst part of the cold during the second day. I felt bad about leaving her up in the room all day but she was ok with it since all she was doing all day was sleeping. This has to be one of the nastiest colds we have had in a while, a constant cough and a stuffed up nose that lasts for more than a week.

There were some great cosplays, but I unfortunately can’t seem to find the bag with my camera in it. So I lack pictures from our trip, minus the one that my girlfriend snapped of us under the cherry blossom. Next on the agenda is to get prepared for pirate season. I need to make some new garb for myself and my girlfriend before the season starts. She needs an entire outfit made and I just need some better outfits, mine are kind of generic and bland. I would like a more vibrant looking outfit and one that matches my girlfriends.
