Sakura Con 2010

I'm soooo super late on making this post. Some friends wanted more detail on my trip so here it is!!! Sorry if some of the details are a little off or incomplete.

So I drove over with my friend Jackie and her little sister. My sister sadly couldn't make due to work. I on the other had requested this weekend off three months in advance!!!!!

So we left at like....6 in the morning I think. It took us about 5 hours to get there. It didn't really feel like that long of a drive.

We got to the hotel and I was soooo happy to see my winning mascot drawing first thing when I get through the doors!!! There was a nice big board! Sadly I forgot to take a picture of it. We then explored downtown!

Pike Place Market was first of course.

That place is always fun to go through. Although we didn't really get much further than that. We went to the curiously shop were Jackie's sister brought a shrunken head. Then got some food. Then we headed back to the hotel.....to sleep. The Ride over made us tired. ^^;

And what could this be right out side the convention center!!!! That's right banners of my mascot!!!

Alright so after this point I mostly stop taking pictures. I worked from opening to close selling at the artist ally. So I didn't take many pictures of cosplayers or cool/odd things going on.

I did do one thing! I got Ito Noizo to sign my art books. I drew her a picture. It was a fast drawing but she was excited to get it. I was excited that she was excited!!!! XD I couldn't get a get photo of her since she was looking down signing the whole time.

That's pretty much it for photos. I am really sorry for those who wanted more. Maybe next time I'll be better with that camera.

Of course there are the lovely photos of the girls who cosplayed my mascot http://lady-elara.blogspot.com/2010/05/sakura-con-mascot-cosplayers-for-2010.html


I'm a little sad that the sakura con website doesn't look like this anymore.

So as far as the artist alley goes. It was awesome! I didn't make as much as I hoped but no one really did and I made my money back so I'm very happy about that. I didn't make it back when you add in the hotel price, but I'm going to ignore that fact, lol. I had so many people give me their congrats on the winning the mascot. I really want to do the artist alley again. It was so much fun and I learn so much to make it even better next year.
